Blogging the Nebula Awards (2018 Edition)

Congratulations to Carrie Vaughn, who won the Philip K. Dick Award for Bannerless! (Which was our second ever book club selection!)

We love awards here at Speculative Chic. We’ve been planning our reviews for the Nebula Awards almost as soon as they were announced! The awards will be presented on May 20th. While we won’t be covering all of the categories, be sure to look for our reviews of the Novel and most of the Novella categories (some have already been published!), and we’ve covered all of the nominees for The Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation in one way or another. (See the full list here.)

Congratulations and good luck to all of the nominees!
