Impressive lead on all four metrics for
Spinning Silver.
For Best Novella, there is also a clear leader, if not quite so strongly ahead, but the different modes of publication may mean that we are comparing apples and pears here:

Another front-runner. But the last of these is rather mysterious - only one owner who has bothered to register their purchase with LibraryThing? Surprisingly low for a Nebula shortlisted book.
Anyway, plenty of time to go.
