While I was out and about yesterday a few pieces of awards news came in. Most importantly, Karen Joy Fowler’s We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves has won the PEN/Faulkner Award. This is huge for Karen and I’m absolutely delighted for her. My review of the book is here, and my interview with Karen is here.

In addition, DetCon 1 has released the finalists for their Young Readers Awards. Locus has the lists. I really must read Alaya Dawn Johnson’s The Summer Prince, which is picking up awards everywhere. And Paolo Bacigalupi’s Zombie Baseball Beatdown because, hey, baseball!
