Recs if you like Ancillary Sword...

In honour of the 2026 nominations, this list compiles all the nominees for the Hugo Award for Best Novel from 2010 - 2026.

my favorite scifi works by women! some classics but some contemporary faves as well

Sci fi and fantasy that's clever, funny, high-stakes, and fast-paced.

Fierce women in space

The most comprehensive list of award winning sci-fi and fantasy novels. The books on this list have won either 1 or multiple awards out of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Locus Sci-Fi, Locus Fantasy, goodreads Choice Fantasy, or goodreads Science Fiction Awards.

It's Labor Day in the US, so we (the folks at Duck Prints Press - the indie publisher I own - who contribute to a lot of the rec lists I post) thought it'd be fun to put together a list of fiction and non-fiction featuring queer folks involved in labor movements!

TTRPG-flavored books with queer rep!

aka all things radch

World-building-heavy trilogies I've read, primarily in science fiction, fantasy, and dystopias. I'm talking maps, magic systems, political systems, the lot. I'll take suggestions, but will need evidence/verification from a few other sources or will need to read them myself. Prequels or standalone books set in the same world will not be added, unless they come in a trilogy version of their own. Also taking suggestions on emojis because I don't know what fits well here lol

Exploring society and government through masterful world building, speculative technology, political intrigue, alien civilizations, and humanity’s endless power struggle.

This is not a list of romantic sci-fi novels and novellas, as love can take many shape and forms. There might be some romance in there, however, possibly, on occasion.

I love robots. Here's my favourite books featuring robots! Also artificial intelligence (as in "Ship").

Type Three: conflict between two creatures; one creature may be more on the side of Man but not necessarily. ex. godzilla vs king kong
