Location: Neither here...nor there		I've finished (and I didn't even start until June!). These are the books I read, listed in order of my enjoyment of them:

Beauty by Sheri S. Tepper (5 Stars) Based on this, I am planning to read all of Tepper's books (and there's a lot of them!)

Solitaire by Kelley Eskridge (5 Stars) This totally blew my mind and is tied with Beauty for first place. I wish this wasn't the only book that Eskridge had written.

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin (5 Stars) Ok, I read the Earthsea series multiple times in my early teens. But that was a long time ago so LeGuin is almost a new author for me. This book was so fabulous I can't believe it's been so long since I've read any of LeGuin's work.

The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan (5 Stars) This was about a million times better than I expected it to be and I definitely want to read more by Kiernan.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke (5 Stars) I was left completely in awe of Clarke's talent.

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin (4 Stars) Wildly original, both in plot and style. Very impressive.

The Rapture by Liz Jensen (3.5 Stars) I've read 4 of Jensen's books this year and she has definitely earned a place on my Favorite Authors list.

The Birth of Love by Joanna Kavenna (3.5 Stars) Thought provoking and creative. It's rather sad how few people have read this book; it deserves more recognition.

The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox (3 Stars)
Damiano by R.A. MacAvoy (3 Stars)
The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord (3 Stars)
The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee (1.5 Stars)
