I loved Time (I made few posts about it) so I'm happy for xkcd. I'm big fan of Laundry series so Equoid is also a favourite (but it's better to read at least something in the series before reading it) and Charlie Stross story of its creation is fun too. You can read it on tor.com as well as the wonderful The Lady Astronaut of Mars and The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere. I have the Ancillary Justice on my kindle already - I just need to find time to read it. But first - Assail (Malazan always takes precedence). I'm very happy for Gravity but I would've rather had An Adventure in Space and Time or Orphan Black win (I have a feeling that GoT won on shock value here).

If you want to you can rewatch the award ceremony or read the best moment summary.
