My favourites from this year's reading:
The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages.
The Thief on the Winged Horse by Kate Mascarenhas.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
Honourable mentions go to:
The Many Selves of Katherine North by Emma Geen.
Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty.
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow.
The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry.
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern.
I think the common thread through these was that each seemed something out of the ordinary ... and now that I come to list the books together here I notice all the authors are women. I did read some good books by male authors, they just didn't stand out from the crowd like the books above.
I only read two books published in 2021, neither really stood out enough to want to mention here.
ebooks have given me such an abundance that these days I am mostly happy to wait, so I'm not really looking for anything in particular in 2022.
