2008 Mythopoeic Awards - Finalists
Last week, the Mythopoeic Society announced the finalists for this year's Mythopoeic Awards. You can find out who the finalists are by going to the relevant page or you can see the list below the cut:
( And the finalists for the Mythopoeic Awards are... )
Note: Just for kicks, I have bolded the ones that I have read and italicized the ones that I've been wanting to read.
I would now discourse knowledgeably on the finalists and predict who would win in each category, but I can't. I just haven't read all these books and don't have the experience to make any well-founded predictions.
However, just for fun, I will put my totally random predictions as a comment to this entry. I invite you to do the same!
P.S. A possible note of interest for those who are interested in past Mythopoeic Award-winners and like random reading projects: the Foxy Writer has started a Mythopoeic Awards Reading Challenge, which sounds brilliant to me. (Mostly because it has tons of books on there that I've been wanting to read anyway! This gives me a good excuse to move them up in the to-read pile.)
P.P.S. And for those who were wondering, the winners will be announced during Mythcon XXXIX (held August 15-18, 2008).
