The sad part is that I'm mostly indifferent to all the nominees. I don't even care about the movies and at least I watched most of them. I haven't read any of the books. Not even Jemisin even though I own it. I don't know if it's just my tastes or if the ballots are just so lackluster this year. How about you - did you like any of this (or at least pan to read it)?
