Hello fellow book buyers!

I'd intended on writing a long and insightful article about my feelings on 2021.  Then I went through the list of books I've read so far in 2021 (85!), and I exhausted myself trying to figure out how to rationalize ranking a top ten out of those.  

So, you lucked out.  I don't have the energy to be witty or introspective, but I did make a list!  

Note:  Not all 2021 releases

Here ya go:

10:  Autumn Bleeds into Winter by Jeff Strand.  

9:  Wormwood by Chad Lutzke/Tim Meyer

8:  There Comes a Midnight Hour (collection) by Gary Braunbeck

7:  The Between by Tananarive Due

6:  Along the Path of Torment by Chandler Morrison

5:  The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

4:  Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey

Another note:  Ranking these top 3 was impossible, but I tried.

3:  Songbirds and Stray Dogs by Meagan Lucas

2:  The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

1:  Ormeshadow by Priya Sharma

This list will undoubtably change by the end of the year, but I think this is a good showcase of what fiction currently has to offer, even if you're picky (like me).
