Continue readingI read 153 books this year in a 50/50 split between audiobooks and other formats. Being unemployed helped that along, didn’t do much for me in terms of my mental health. But there were so many good reads consumed and published this year, I had to make two lists. Enjoy!

These books are such delightfully quick reads. Action-packed, multi-faceted, with a great group cast and corporate intrigue unraveled by brilliant teen rebels.
If you enjoyed Want, Ruse provides more of the same, with tight pacing, an intricate near-future but still cyberpunk-y setting, and a hopeful ending that leaves the reader like the kids will truly be all right, leaving the world a better place than the one they entered.

No betas this month, but sending a draft to two friends for alpha reading. Exciting stuff.
Here we are friends, in a time of social distancing where staying at home is the most productive thing you can do to keep yourself and those around you safe.

I should really consider augmenting my reading goal, I’m 17 books ahead already.
This month, I also interviewed K.M. Szpara to celebrate the release of his debut novel, Docile.

For my first ever cover reveal, I’m so excited to share with you the cover for Anya Ow’s Cradle and Grave, a biohorror science fiction novella coming out on April 5th from Neon Hemlock Press.
