Which 2021 Nebula Finalist ...

None of them.

Which 2021 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?
Network Effect by Martha Wells
Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin
The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk

I have read all of these.

I own the Jemisin but haven't yet read it. (I did read "The City Born
Great" from which it developed.)

Which 2021 Nebula Finalist Novellas Have You Read?
Ring Shout; or, Hunting Ku Kluxes in the End Times
by P. Djeli Clark
Finna by Nino Cipri
Ife-Iyoku, the Tale of Imadeyunuagbon by Ekpeki Oghenechovwe Donald
Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi
The Four Profound Weaves by R. B. Lemberg
Tower of Mud and Straw by Yaroslav Barsukov

The Clark, the Cipri, the Onyebuchi, and the Lemberg.

I think I tried reading the Cipri, which was also nominated for the
Hugo.

Which 2021 Nebula Finalist Novelettes Have You Read?
Two Truths and a Lie by Sarah Pinsker
Burn or the Episodic Life of Sam Wells As a Super by A. T. Greenblatt
Shadow Prisons of the Mind by Caroline M. Yoachim
Stepsister by Leah Cypess
The Pill by Meg Elison
The Shadow Prison Experiment by Caroline M. Yoachim
The Shadow Prisoner's Dilemma by Caroline M. Yoachim
Where You Linger by Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam

None.

I also have none, although I'm pretty sure I started one or two of the Hugo-nominated ones and didn't finish any. Only three of these were
on the Hugo shortlist.

Which 2021 Nebula Finalist Short Stories Have You Read?
Open House on Haunted Hill by John Wiswell
A Guide for Working Breeds by Vina Jie-Min Prasad
Advanced Word Problems in Portal Math by Aimee Picchi
Badass Moms in the Zombie Apocalypse by Rae Carson
My Country Is a Ghost by Eugenia Triantafyllou
The Eight-Thousanders by Jason Sanford

None.

Definitely read the Wiswell and the Carson, but have no particular
memory of them. Tried the Prasad and bounced hard. Those are the
only ones in the intersection with the Hugo shortlist.

Someone has probably already done the research about how the Hugo and
Nebula shortlists correlate over time. Interesting that 2021 had
about 50% overlap.

This is the only one for me. I didn't like this as well as the
novellas, but it's still a good read.

I read this recently in her collection Lost Places: Stories.
