The Fair Weather Friend by Jessie Garcia

This was basically pretty good, but as is often the case, there was just one too many coincidences.

The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave

 

Disappointing.

The Guncle by Steven Rowley

Super funny. 

Godfall by Van Jensen

 

I really liked this -- it was a good mix of science fiction and mystery. My one quibble would be a plot point that is quickly becoming overdone (avoiding more detail to avoid spoilers).

The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey

 

First, the cover suggests a cozy mystery, but this was not that. It's much darker. Second, any book narrated by Joanne Froggatt is +1. And, overall, this was very clever and well worth reading.

The Edge of Sleep by Jake Emanuel, Willie Block, and Jason Gurley

 

Super weird and kind of funny.

Murder on Bamboo Lane by Naomi Hirahara

 I really liked this.

The Storm by Rachel Hawkins

Normally, I like Rachel Hawkins, but this was not good. Inexplicable characters, way too many coincidences, etc.

A difficult and sad read, but one of th best books I've read in a long time.

Sky Full of Elephants by Cebu Campbell

 

Interesting.

The Story She Left Behind by Patti Callahan Henry

 

Meh.
