I read this book because it was mentioned in The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. I thought, that's a good book and they say this is a good one too. Well, they were right!! Amazing book!! I love it! It's set in Russia and at the intersection of the old gods and Christianity. That makes it sound heavy, but it's not. It's sweet and magical and a joy to read.
12. Eleventh Grave in Moonlight by Darynda Jones

13. Dusk Or Dark Or Dawn Or Day by Seanan McGuire
I really enjoy reading Seanan's books and this one has a ghost theme. Right up my alley!!! She does some things with the genre, I didn't see coming and really enjoyed. I won't say more, but it's good!
14.The Original Dream by Nukila Amal
Set in Indonesia, this interesting book switches back and forth between a dream world and reality. It's also mostly in the second person! It really got me thinking about my dreams. When I was younger, I used to remember my dreams pretty well. But over the last decade or so, I remember them less and less well. They're still vivid and engaging, and when I'm in them or first waking from them, I'm convinced I'll remember them. Alas, they are ephemeral and disappear with the opening of my eyes. With that said, I don't know that this book gave me any insight into dreams, but it definitely did give me insight into Indonesia and into Islam. Though, that would not be a reason to read this book. It is mostly the dream world and not overtly about Indonesia or Islam.
15. You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day
I don't really read memoirs. I've only ever read a handful. While I find Felicia Day funny, I didn't really get into the memoir until it was about the part of her life I knew about- eg The Guild. Then it was super fast and engaging.
