Locus listed 2,116 titles in 2025; not a comprehensive "all SFF books published" but a fair chunk
So. Many. GREAT books, stories & more will never win an award.
Not for lack of deserving
But for the imperfect nature of awards.
If you didn't land on a list?
You are still AWESOME!
Stay awesome!❤️🔥

A few of the many books on my mind... in no particular order...
Xicanxfuturism: Gritos for Tomorrow Codex I, Scott Russell Duncan & Jenny Irizary

"plausible deniability" is one of the best, most effective tools of systemic racism & bias
the ability to somewhat vaguely explain things away; to hide behind "hard to prove"
but: that gut feeling you have? sometimes you are spot on.
at the same time, you just can't let it stop you.
keep. going.
