I always try to read as much as possible, of course. Over the past few years, it’s been tough to find the time, as work and kids have conspired to bleed away much of my free time.
Strangely, this pandemic year has somehow made it easier for me to read. I’m not sure why. Maybe the chaos of the outside world has sent me scurrying to my old friends, books, for comfort. Or maybe I’ve just re-aligned my priorities, as so many of us have.
In any event, of the dozens of books I’ve read this year, here are the seven very best, each of them great for their own reasons, each of them a great read, listed below in no particular order…
- Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
- How I Became a Famous Novelist by Steve Hely
- Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt Collection by Kieron Gillen
- The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman
- The Fold by Peter Clines
- The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab
- The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
Enjoy your reading!
