The End We Start From

A poignant story about motherhood and survival. Kind of a one-two punch with the last book.

How High We Go in the Dark

I loved this meditation on loss and love. It captured a lot of the complex feelings I’ve had over the years about family and belonging.

Six Wakes

An original and exciting take on cloning and space travel.

Killing Gravity

More of a novella, but a fun one. Some echoes of Becky Chambers, but with a core concept similar to Hanna. Excited to read the rest of the series.

Dead Silence

Really cool space horror that nicely dovetailed with playing Dead Space. Spooky and hard to put down.

An Unkindness of Magicians

Similar thematically and story-wise to a lot of fantasy I read these days, but compelling characters and hilariously brutal and brief spell battles mark it out.

The Employees

The objects are good.

Chilling Effect

Fun but a little too silly.

‌Something New Under the Sun

A friend asked if this was Solarpunk, and I’m not sure, but I said yes.

Winter Tide

A nice take it and turn it of Lovecraft.

Neuromancer

Re-reading for a Discord group. Not my favorite of his trilogies, but still fun.
