Ten books that I meant to read – add another zero to this and it’s probably closer to the mark. Okay, maybe slight over exaggeration but not much of one. I didn’t read nearly as many books as I would usually do last year. I’m going to choose a selection of books that got beyond me during the course of the year which includes bought and review titles:
The Midnight Bargain by CL Polk
A Chorus of Fire by Brian D Anderson
The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
Feathertide by Beth Cartwright
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James
What Lies Between Us by John Marrs
The Island Child by Molly Aitken
Circe by Madeline Miller
Owl and the Tiger Thieves by Kristi Charish
