I absolutely loved this book about colonialism, generational trauma, and the concessions we make to get along in society.

I Have Some Questions For You
This book is about the murder of a white, teenaged girl, but it’s also about the dysfunctional “justice system” and every murder in which the victim is a girl or woman killed by a man.
Invisible
This is a perfectly serviceable cozy mystery, but a little conservative and a little slow for my taste.
The Uninhabited House
If you’re looking for a classic, Victorian ghost story that doesn’t take too long to read, this book is for you.
This Savage Song
For a dystopian/paranormal YA, you can’t do much better than this fast-paced romp of a novel. It’s so much fun!
Pemberley Shades
The only thing the author got right about this sequel was the characters, and I did love getting to hang out with them again.
No One Goes Alone
I’m a sucker for a good ghost story, and I appreciate that Larson stuck to his strengths while venturing into fiction.
My Plain Jane
This book manages to combine a retelling of Jane Eyre with an alternate history of Charlotte Brontë’s life with a ghost story, and it’s awesome!
Fuzzy Nation
If you’ve read and enjoyed any of Scalzi’s other books, I recommend this one – you’ll enjoy it just as much.
Gilded Needles
A slower burn than I would have liked, but it delivered on its promise and I enjoyed seeing a poor woman get revenge on a wealthy family.
