In the distant future, a ship’s AI, isolated in a mortal body, finds itself stranded on a distant world. The first book in an award-winning trilogy that does amazing stuff with language, gender, intrigue, and worldbuilding.

A podcast host returns to her high school alma mater to teach a course… and try to find who killed her roommate. A strong mystery backs a thoughtful story on changes in life and the nature of memory. One of my top two fiction books of 2024!

Powerful Magicians, unsettling Faery weirdness, Napoleonic wars. Delicious.

From a master author who won pretty much every major literary award in Japan comes a short story collection focusing on the inner lives of Japanese women in their complex, disturbing, and intoxicating glory.
