    Hey Josh,

    Just letting you know I really like your series on the Hugos, it is so interesting to see the development of science fiction as a whole. Some of those older books are really tricky to find, and it’s nice to hear which ones are still worth reading.

    Cheers

    @Kat: Hey, Kat! I’m glad you’re liking the series — I feel like it’s still figuring out what it is right now, but I’m having a good time doing the reading. If you ever have any suggestions or thoughts, lemme know! And thanks so much!
