“Warchild” by Karin Lowachee – science fiction brave enough to confront what abuse and war does to a child.

“Summit Lake” by Charlie Donlea – gnarly plot and clever structure kept me turning the pages.

“Three Seasons” or “Ba Mùa” by Tony Bui a beautiful movie about unpleasant things

“Breeds” by Keith C Blackmore

“The House At Sea’s End – Ruth Galloway #3” by Elly Griffiths

“Cumulus” by Eliot Peper – near-future thriller that’s stronger on ideas than people

“Glass Houses – Morganville Vampires #1” by Rachel Caine – a YA vampire tale that is heavy on cute and light on reality.

Fun piece on building Trump’s “Great Wall”

“They May Not Mean To But They Do” by Cathleen Schine – excellent look at the experience of being old.
