Coming up on Tuesday, July 1...you know, we had so much fun discussing all the short stories on this year’s ballot for the 2025 Nebula Awards that we’ve decided to reprise that idea by talking about this year’s short story nominations for the 2025 Hugo Awards!

This year’s winners will be announced at the 83rd World Science Fiction Convention to be held in Seattle, Washington from August 13-17. For our July meeting, we’ll discuss what we liked, what we didn’t care for, and hold our own (non-binding) voting for Best Hugo Short Story.

If you read the Nebula stories for our May meeting, you’re already ahead of the game as three of the stories are the same.
