Hello, fellow readers! It’s been…almost exactly a year to the day that I’ve posted on this blog. The silence is not an indication of inactivity––in fact, it’s the opposite. I negotiated a few book deals this year that still haven’t been announced (all SFF, funnily enough), I’ve read hundreds of manuscripts, and this afternoon I just finished my 40th read (books for fun). It’s been a great quality reading year, as indicated by the eleven––eleven––five-star books I’m excited to share with you below.
Fantasy Favorites
Divine Rivals || The Kingdom of Sweets || Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries
Nettle & Bone || House of Hollow
Contemporary Favorites
Remarkably Bright Creatures || The Violin Conspiracy || Yours Truly
[nonfiction] Waypoints
Historical Favorites
Our Woman in Moscow || The Dictionary of Lost Words
Five of these books were audiobooks. A little over a third of my reading this year was accomplished via audio. I’m so grateful to my library for providing Libby and Hoopla so that I may continue consuming wonderful stories!
Read below the break for my reviews!
