APRIL
Origamy by Rachel Armstrong – One of the weirdest books I’ve read in a long time. Spectacular. Awesome. Thought-provoking. Some clunky writing, but overall well worth my time.
Trouble Boys The True Story of the Replacements by Bob Mehr – Well done bio about crafting art in the midst of tragedy, most (but not all) of which is self-inflicted.
MARCH
Shadow Country A New Rendering of the Watson Legend by Peter Matthiessen – Engaging historical fiction. Worthwhile if Florida history is your thing.
Art Of The Novel by Milan Kundera – Collection of essays. Some better than others.
Every Time We Meet at the Dairy Queen, Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes by Carlton Mellick III – Mellick has a gift.
FEBRUARY
Wild Storm Volume 1 by Warren Ellis, Jon Davis Hunt – meh
We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – Intro for people unfamiliar with feminism.
Envy of Angels: A Sin Du Jour Affair by Matt Wallace – Fun and entertaining read.
Only Harmless Great Thing by Brooke Bolander – Loved this book!
JANUARY
The Three-Body Problem: Remembrance of Earths Past #1 by Cixin Liu, Ken Liu – A few neat ideas, but not really my kind of book.
The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth #1) by N.K. Jemisin – I liked this better than I expected. Looking forward to reading the next two volumes. Great characterization and world-building.
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor – I’ll read anything by Okorafor. She. Is. Fantastic.
