Question: What were your favorite reads this year?

Answer: I read more than 30 books this year, which was my goal. Woot! Here are some of my favorite reads this year:

• Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce is a young adult romance about a girl who is forced to work at her dad’s game store and agrees to fake date a co-worker. This book/story is like a giant love letter to Dungeons & Dragons gaming and game/comic book shops. Boyce has another gaming-themed book, Dating and Dragons, coming out later in December.
• The Spider Heist by Jason Kasper focuses on a former FBI agent who gets tangled up in a complicated heist. I love, love, love books about thieves/heists, and this one was really fast-paced and fun.
• Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland is an epic fantasy about five people who join forces to try to kill a king and end up caring about each other more than they ever expected. Four Ruined Realms, book #2, will be out in January.
