- Grounded by Neta Jackson: a Christian novel quite a cut above the usual, and not the ubiquitous romance.
- The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake: a literary read of contemporary life with a main thread of fantasy woven in expertly. The end wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted.
- Spin State, Chris Moriarty: I tried, I really tried to get into this recent sf work, but I couldn’t.
