I think this contest is a great idea to discover and support book related content here on steemit. I am already excited to read the other reviews.
I’m gonna try and get a review done for you! Looks like there are oodles of good options. 😁
I have been getting frustrated with my lack of reading material lately. I think you may have saved me! :) Thanks for this nice concise collection!
I love this contest. It has the perfect combination; I have a list of books to gorge on and I get to write about it.

This is a challenge I might actually be able to participate in, thank you for hosting!

something on the ballot - but not this year. So not eligible for this contest, alas.@carolkean The story may be a Hugo finalist next year - Aliette usually has
My upvote icon is spinning in circles, but replies seem to go through.
How cool that you've been there from the inception of the novel, cheering and encouraging!
Pub date March 2018, too late for Aliette, for this round of the Hugos, but next time!
