Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller
Read a satisfying satire after ages!

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
No longer my kind of book, but this should be fine for romcom fans.

The Same Bright Stars by Ethan Joella
This book doesn't disappoint! Ethan Joella is one of the few male authors to write characters' emotions so well.

Shanghailanders by Juli Min
A literary fiction with reverse storytelling, going from 2040 to 2014. An innovative structure but a bit tricky to read. Good for those who like character-oriented writing.

Taxi Ghost: A Graphic Novel by Sophie Escabasse
A cute Canadian graphic novel for tweens and teens. Loved the story and the approach.

In This Ravishing World by Nina Schuyler
Might have worked better for me had it been advertised as a composite literary fiction than as a short story collection.

Troubled Waters by Mary Annaïse Heglar
Great intent, average execution.

The Curse of the Flores Women by Angélica Lopes
An English translation of a Brazilian novel (written in Portuguese originally.) A good option for literary fiction readers.

T.J. Klune fans who have enjoyed In the Lives of Puppets might also enjoy this new short story, which is set in the same universe and acts as a precursor. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!

The Phoenix Ballroom by Ruth Hogan
If you know Ruth Hogan's writing, you know what to expect from this. A nice, soothing found-family story.

The Echoes of Us by Emma Steele
Hate to be so tough on a debut work, but this was challenging in every way.

Living With Viola by Rosena Fung
An amazing middle-grade graphic novel tackling the topic of anxiety disorder.

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center
A mixed bag for me, though it does work as a light read.

Garden of Her Heart by Zoë Richards
A very cheesy title, but a good story for romance-drama readers.

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
I'd have liked it even better had I know it was a literary fiction and not a thriller as promised. Still, could be a great read for fans of the author. (I am not one yet as I have read only this one book.)

The Afterlife of Mal Caldera by Nadi Reed Perez
Great title and cover. Weird story! But might work for the right reader.

The Legendary Mo Seto by A.Y. Chan
Though I did have some minor issues with this middle-grade fiction, I still enjoyed it a lot. I'm sure kids will love it even more.

Embroidered Worlds: Fantastic Fiction from Ukraine and the Diaspora by various writers.
Might work better for those who like hardcore SFF.

Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise: A Novel by Lin Yi-Han
This was so, so difficult to read, and I am still not sure if I am advocating it for the content or the author. But if you can handle the traumatising topic and like literary fiction, do try.

Olivetti by Allie Millington
Who would have thought that a book with a talking typewriter would be so boring!
