Recommendations

If the title of a book is linked, it is to a post with the reasons for my recommendation. Reviewed books are noted as such. I've broken this list down into 2 major sections - this year's releases and previously published books that I've read this year. If all of these were graded, they would be the equivalents of a B and up.
