A few fiction books I've loved recently:
-NK Jemisin's "The City We Became"
-Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's "This is How You Lose the Time War"
-Kevin Wilson's "Nothing to See Here"
They're all beautiful writing built on fantastical premises. Got any more recommendations? – source2020-07-20T08:55:42.000Z

Given the state of things, it's even harder for me to lose myself in a book--but @nkjemisin did it. Three straight days of stealing time to read. This was so weird, and so ambitious, and SO DAMN GOOD. – source2020-06-26T04:25:04.000Z
