Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because I hadn't read the first, I could not figure out who were siblings and who were cousins
The siblings are Toby (the blond boy), Sophia (the narrator), and Henry (the tomboy). Veronica is the cousin (and daughter of the King), and Simon is possibly her half-brother and also the King's son, I haven't read the second one yet and I don't know if that's been answered.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In the second book, it is implied that Toby
and Simon are lovers, and Sophia likes Simon.
So the half brother thing is a little confusing.

Yes, that's also implied in the first one. So, half-cousins, I guess. The British are less stressed about consanguinity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. I'm kind of shocked that Patrick Rothfuss wasn't nominated for Best Novel for "A Wise Man's Fear".
But how awesome was it that Community was nominated for "Remedial Chaos Theory"?!

That is pretty awesome!!
And Seanan was nominated four times, which is the first time a woman has received four Hugo nominations in the same year!

not your mom's socks.
I'm just reading the noms now. So many great stories (and scripts) on here. Seannan's amazing, PC.
FWIW, "The Ice Owl," by Caroline Ives Gilman blew me away. Same with "The Man Who Bridged the Mist." I need to read "Countdown" now. Charlie Jane Anders' "Six Months, Three Days," and E. Lily Yu's "The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees," are two of my favorite shorts from this past year, so I'm excited to see them there. "Paper Menagerie" wasn't my favorite Ken Liu story this year, but then again, there were so many to choose from.
