It’s been a while since I’ve had enough time to sit down and gather thoughts about the books I’ve read recently and enjoyed. Here are some of my favourite reads from this year and late 2019. Every title in this list is available either as an eBook, eAudiobook, or both!

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
