Now I'm a BSFA member I get to vote, cool! The downside, I've only read one of the novels and two of the shorts. The shorts I can try and fix by trying to read the ones available online. But there's no way I'm going to be able to read four novels, especially the ones in hardback. That's always the problem with these awards.
