On Monday I posted a rundown on all of my 2016 reading except new-to-me books: the student projects, rereads, short fiction, first chapters, you name it. Today, I give you the things I read from cover to cover.
One of the great things about being a writer is that you sometimes get to see advance copies of books, and I got to look at a few such things, some of which are out now, some of which are coming soon.
They were amazing, and you will love them!
Crossroads of Canopy: Book One in the Titan’s Forest Trilogy, by Thoraiya Dyer
And Carry a Big Stick, by S.M. Stirling (March 2018)
Weave a Circle Round, by Kari Maaren

I did not know Kari had sold a novel. Very cool!
Being that I know Kari, and the description of the house next door reminds me of de Lint’s Tamson House, I believe this may very well be a case of SUATMM (*grin*).
My reading year is off to a very good start. Everfair, A Gathering of Shadows, A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, and Hidden Figures just to name a few things.
Hello, Gorgeous Gary. (Which of the Garys are you? I know a few Garys.) Yes, I sold this novel in 2015. We are creeeeeeeping veeeeeerrrrrry slooooowwwwllllyyyyy towards the publication date…
My reading year has been a little slow. I’ve mostly returned to comfortable old friends such as basically everything Terry Pratchett has ever written. I have a huge TBR pile, though.
