The membership will cull the categories down to a five selections in each category and juries* may add an additional work in each category (more than one in the case of the Norton Award, which is not a Nebula.

A Betrayal in Winter by Daniel Abraham... is just awesome. The long price quartet (the first 3 are out) is wonderful... I can't wait until the 4th book comes out! ^_^ Start with A Shadow in Summer first though.

That's the only one I've read on the list though.
