Looking for 2015 SF&F Recommendations!

[rowyn]

Next year, I'll be going to MidAmericon, the 2016 WorldCon. This means I'll be eligible to make Hugo nominations!

Which means that I should read some SF&F that was written this year.

Because I have a habit of reading only work that's been recommended to me, and I'm too cheap to buy hardcovers/e-books priced like hardcovers, my reading is rarely anything published in the last 12 months. But hey, I can check stuff out from the library and even figure out the nationwide-interlibrary loan system again if I have to! And indie books are usually reasonably priced even when new. LET'S DO THIS.

So if you know any good sf&f that came out this year (including your own!), please let me know. I am especially interested in short fiction -- I actually know 2 novels to nominate already -- but anything is good.  If it's something you enjoyed but feel is a "guilty pleasure" or "not literary enough for an award" or whatever, please recommend it anyway. I like light fluffy stories and will be happy to nominate a good one for an award.

Good sf&f reads

[(Anonymous)]

Aliette de Bodard's classy and classical The House of Shattered Wings naturally, but also waiting in the sidelines and I can heartily recommend: The Gameshouse, a set of three novella's by Claire North that add up to one stunning read published by Orion and due out next month,and a first novel by Catriona Ward, Rawblood... darkly gothic and immensely spooky writing spanning two centuries, also due out next month and well worth waiting for!

I will look for those when they come out! Grabbed a sample of The House of Shattered Wings while I was thinking about it.
