All Hugo nominated short fiction with the exception of one novella.

I am disappointed in the Hugo short fiction nominees. Most (all) are not award worthy and some are just awful. Two of the novelettes seem like chapters from a larger work. I still have one novella left, but I am not expecting it will be any better than the other four. I don't really like short fiction that much, and after not really liking many of last years nominees, I probably won't bother with the Hugos next year.
