Fiction:

"Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" and "Tress of the Emerald Sea" - Two of Brandon Sanderson's "secret projects" that he released this year and easily my favorites of the bunch. Tress is just such a fun adventure and Yumi left me an emotional wreck by the end.

"There Is No Antimemetics Division" - I had a brief period where I wanted to read some stories about clandestine operations around odd anomalies, SCP-adjacent if you will. This, alongside "Agents of Dreamland", is rather short and great for getting through in a couple sittings. It's all about taking on an entity that you actively can't remember the existence of.

Non-Fiction:

"Letters to a Young Poet" - This is a collection of ten letters sent from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke to a younger aspiring poet in the early 1900s. As a creative that sometimes struggles with the whole "what am I doing this for?", I found this a highly inspiring and comforting read.

"On Writing" - I'm sure most of you know the book, or at the least know Stephen King. The info in here on writing (at least in the style of King) is fantastic, but I think the memoir portions are the killer part of this book. The man certainly has a storied past, for better or worse.

"There Is No Antimemetics Division" is a bit of a mind bender, it is definitely worth a read. I hadn’t read any SCP stuff before fwiw.

+1 for Yumi and Tress. You don’t have to be deep into the rest of his books to appreciate them. (Unlike Sunlit Man) The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England was a total hoot—if you want something light and silly, go for that.
