Each year, Locus magazine publishes their “Recommended Reading List”, a consensus by Locus editors, reviewers, readers, and industry professionals of some of their favorite genre books and stories of the year. These are the books and stories they think EVERYONE should read.

The Stone in the Skull, Elizabeth Bear 

The House of Binding Thorns, Aliette de Bodard

The Stone Sky, N.K. Jemisin

Horizon, Fran Wilde

Novelettes:

‘‘Children of Thorns, Children of Water’’, Aliette de Bodard 

Congratulations again! And if we somehow missed anyone on the list, please let us know so we can add their name.
