• Red, White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston: Please tell me someone has optioned the film rights to this. Delightful! (Defintiely rated R though.)
• Girl, Woman, Other, Bernardine Evaristo: A really wonderful book of interlocking short stories.
• Lightspeed Magazine Special Issue: Women Destroy Science Fiction!: I skipped some of the interviews and non-story stuff, but this was fun to work my way through.
• The Grammarians, Cathleen Schine:
• Mexican Gothic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia: Jane Eyre and 50s glam in Mexico, what’s not to like? This was fantastic.
• The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N.K. Jemisin: I went into this expecting to love it, and did not. Even once I got into it there was a little more politicking than I care for in my fiction.
• Disappearing Earth, Julia Phillips: I think if you go into this ready to read some interlocking short stories, you’ll enjoy it more than I did.

If you only read one, make it Mexican Gothic.
