Preview to Reading for the Hugo Awards (novels)

This year, my older son has decided that he'd like to be a Hugo voter, so we bought him a Supporting Membership as one of his presents. I showed him where we keep the stack of novels to read, and have started texting him with links to cool short stories.

These are the Hugo eligible novels that I've read thus far:
Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty
The Stone Sky by N K Jemisin
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
Raven Stratagem by Yoon Ha Lee
Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn

Novella length:
The Dispatcher by John Scalzi (edited to add: not eligible, because audiobook was 2016)
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
And Then There Were (N-One) by Sarah Pinsker

I've developed a bad habit of dipping into books and then losing track of them, and hence not finishing them. Included on that list are

New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson
An Excess Male by Maggie Shen King
City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett
River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey
Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys
Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

Then there's the books I've purchased but haven't read yet...

Artemis by Andy Weir
The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden
Provenance by Ann Leckie
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
The Last Good Man by Linda Nagata
The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi
The Refrigerator Monologues by Catherynne M. Valente

I really need to buckle down and start reading!
