I am so excited about this challenge because it's about my very favorite type of books! After changing my mind 86 times (approximately) I've settled on these six books as my selections.

 

1.      The Chimes by Anna Smaill (nominated for the Booker Prize, a British literary award) 

2.      The Great Glass Sea by Josh Weil (described as a "sui generis novel" - an artistic work that goes beyond conventional genre boundaries) 

3.      The Life of Elves by Muriel Barbery (literary fiction, with elves) 

4.      The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley (won the British Costa First Novel Prize, a British literary award) 

5.      Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt (literary fiction, with ghosts) 

6.      Not on Fire, but Burning by Greg Hrbek (described as "not exactly a thriller, not exactly sci-fi, not exactly speculative fiction" )
