Nonfiction
Tim Marshall’s The Future of Geography.
Nathaniel Philbrick’s The Last Stand.
Mystery
Allison Montclaire’s Sparks & Bainbridge mysteries.
Ariel Lawhon’s The Frozen River.
Martin Walker’s A Grave in the Woods.
James R. Benn’s The Phantom Patrol.
Stephanie Barron’s Jane Austen series.
Science fiction
S.M. Stirling’s Emberverse series.
Marko Kloos’ Frontlines series. I read each of these eight novels within 24 hours of their day of publication, and reread them again this year. The best military SF around, every detail rings true.
Book club books
I was so wowed by Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These that I picked her Foster for my book club. Just rip the still beating heart from my breast, why don’t you.
These three books were read as companion pieces for a book club trip to Santa Fe. It was an inspired choice, as reading the three back to back constitute what is essentially a 150-year history of New Mexico.
Jennat Conant’s 109 East Palace.
Alice Marriott’s Maria: The Potter of San Ildefonso.
Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop.
