Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates
3.5
While I correctly guessed the killer's identity fairly quickly, it was still an interesting read that I would recommend. Loved seeing the main character, Christa, try to predict what her "cabin mates" would do or how they would react, and what would happen because of her assumptions (like what she would miss).
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.5
This story, particularly the excerpt of fan mail Le Guin received about the story written in the afterword, will stay with me for a long time.

I don’t think listening to plays is for me, or maybe I just got bored.
The Apparitionists: A Tale of Phantoms, Fraud, Photography, and the Man Who Captured Lincoln's Ghost by Peter Manseau

While the premise is something I really wanted to read, I can’t bring myself to continue. You can tell the author has a lot he wants to say, and so each sentence is long winded, and each new character we meet has such a long exposition you forget the main point of the book.
The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya
4.0
While I spent most of the first half waiting for the pin (or in this case, the subtweet) to drop, I devoured the second half of this book, dying to know what came next. Other reviews calling these characters messy is partially true- it’s how people act and react when they’re unsure of the security of the connections they’ve made with others. How nothing is black-and-white, how calling in is more important than calling out.
