What's probably most surprising looking at this collage is how many books were just kind of in the miasma of the year and didn't make any lasting impacts in my memory. Trying to pick from the new, I'd say my Top Picks were:
Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta
Fates Blades by Ilona Andrews
The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren
And while it feels a little anathema, I'd still have to say Hench was the must read book of the year. I remember what it was like to get sucked in to that book and just be absolutely blown away by how it portrayed women, anger, disability and perceived weakness, while also being incredibly kick ass. As in Violent with a capital "v". You've been warned.
(Jessica P. Wick at NPR has a much more thorough review if you'd like to read actual thoughts and feelings about the book. Sorry I suck.)
