A Taste of Honey
by Kai Ashante Wilson
Beautiful prose, evocative story, clever book that threw me back on my haunches and made me want to re-read it immediately.


Airedale

Airedale
by Dylan Byford
Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.


All is Fair

All is Fair
by Emma Newman
Fun, busy, and it was 3 years ago when I read it and I can't remember anything about the story, which is great because that means it's time to read it again!


Any Other Name

Any Other Name
by Emma Newman
Like All Is Fair, this was a busy novel that I was sorry to finish. Can't fault it on length, plenty to read, and the story is lots of fun, crammed with action.


Blackbirds

Brilliant introduction into the fucked up mind of Chuck Wendig.

Evolution

Evolution
by Tenea D. Johnson
Absolutely superb. Gutting, terrifying, and hopeful.


Flora & Jim

Flora & Jim
by BP Gregory
Multi-layered masterpiece, as grim as it should be, and eminently quotable in any climate change conversation.


Gold and Jasper

Gold and Jasper
by Michelle Kan
It's absolutely beautiful, with delicate, precise writing that perfectly encapsulates a sense of place, of culture, of magic.


In the Sweep of the Bay

In the Sweep of the Bay
by Cath Barton
Why do we make the choices we do? Social and family pressures, personal beliefs of our place in society and of how our lives are supposed to be. This is a book that lets you look inside the lives of one family, and gives you the sense of understanding that a bitter or reserved exterior can hide losses that no-one else knows about.


Let's Play White

Let's Play White
by Chesya Burke
Thoughtful collection of tales that stay with you for months afterwards. Beautifully written, sensitively conceived, a series of set ups for injustices, love, and pain with a backdrop of the Black cultural experience in a white-oriented world.


Muti Nation

Muti Nation
by Monique Snyman
A nail-biting introduction to South African magic and a nice bit of terror into the bargain. No reading this one on a dark stormy night unless you're bigger and hairier than the sorcerer!


R/evolution

sakina recommends
R/evolution
by Tenea Johnson
Mosaic novel: a set of vignettes that link together beautifully to create one of the possible scenarios for the grinding end of the world as we know it.


The Devil's Trill

The Devil's Trill
by Rhoads Brazos
Fun, light read, crazy and innovative, plenty of intrigue and weirdness. Takes a sudden left turn towards the end of the first chapter and never looks back.


The Fury of Blacky Jaguar

sakina recommends
The Fury of Blacky Jaguar
by Angel Luis Colón
Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.


The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
As fab as everyone everyone said it was.


The Inconvenient God

The Inconvenient God
by Francesca Forrest
Fabulous and imaginative story in an unusual setting, with themes of oppression, lost language and spirituality. Reminded me of Terry Pratchett, though very different from his work.


The Naseby Horses

sakina recommends
The Naseby Horses
by Dominic Brownlow
The Naseby Horses by Dominic Brownlow is a beautiful, haunting read - lots of layers. It deals with families, trauma, and poses questions about the validity of beliefs, be they religious, superstitious or scientific.
Absolutely gorgeous writing.


The Postman

The Postman
by David Brin
Bloody loved it! Epic story with a vision for the future that is possibly more relevant in 2020 than it was when the book was first published.
