Location: UK		It never seems very easy for me to check my records when these threads come up, but I think I read:

The Long Tomorrow - Leigh Brackett - 50s, WoGF - Great
The Copper Promise - Jen Williams - WoGF, New 2014 - Fun light adventure
The Death of Grass - John Christopher - 50s - Grimly readable catastrophe
The Magicians - Lev Grossman - 2nd Best (Red Tentacle) - I loved this modern fantasy, but the main character puts a lot of people off
The Midwich Cuckoos - John Wyndham - 50s - Another good one.
The Mammoth Book of Steampunk - Sean Wallace - Short - Variable, some great stories
The Mammoth Book of Nebula Awards SF (aka Nebula Showcase 2011) - Kevin J Anderson - Short - Also a mixed bag

I'm not very sure of my stats, but I'm mostly doing OK except on the two awards challenges (12 in 12, and Second Best). I'm hoping those will look after themselves a bit as the 2014 awards come in.
