British Fantasy Awards 2007

I don't think I am going to follow this one nearly as closely as the Hugos or WFA's, but the nominations for the British Fantasy Awards has been posted.

I've read very few of the nominees. I still don't care for "The Djinn's Wife" and Kim Newman's collection The Man from the Diogenes Club doesn't maintain interest when all of the stories are digested at one time. The Lies of Locke Lamora, of course, is a fantabulous novel and I've had Dusk on and off my reading list for a year now (currently off but inching back on)
