psocopteraI'm running late with these, but better late than never. I'm also posting as I go to my Twitter, TheBookLouse, feel free to follow that if you're interested in this sort of thing. My lj will probably continue to have the occasional bit of extra commentary or "if you're only going to read one or two" recommendations.
Vacui Magia, L.S. Johnson. Painful story about generations and caregiving and infertility and magic.
Noise Pollution, Alison Wilgus. Neat urban fantasy in a vivid voice.
Nine Thousand Hours, Iona Sharma. I like a good magical disaster story. Reminded me of L Waldman's story Silence.
Cloth Mother, Sarah Pauling, in Strange Horizons. AI parenting, both sharp and sweet.
The Visitor, Karen Myers. Aww, a nice little close encounter.
Probably Definitely, Heather Morris. A pop-star ghost visits a non binary teenager. Neat premise about ghosts.
Beyond Sapphire Glass, Margaret Killjoy. A romance with neat worldbuilding.
20/20, Arie Coleman. Doctors and personal sacrifice, reminded me a bit of Yeyuka, a Greg Egan story I think about a lot.
Needle on Bone, Helena Bell. This didn't really work for me as a story but it has a couple of really powerful lines/emotional metaphors.
Liminal Grid, Jaymee Goh. Trying to live, in the surveillance state.
