Year End Reading Roundup

I fell into a lot of great books and short stories this year. I explored a lot of non fiction about the oceans and my beloved whales (some of which will be included in the recommendations in my newsletter: “Wale Tales and Glitter”. Then there are all the incredible Speculative short fiction works, which I am late to in some cases. And then I discovered Cosy Fantasy, also late to the party, I know, and oh so delicious!

Here are nine books or stories that I really enjoyed this year.
