7. Next of Kin by Kia Abdullah https://t.co/nFLWpbbNo9 Abdullah specialises in dark legal thrillers where no one comes out looking good. Fair warning, this one involves the death of a child, making it a hard read at times, but it is worth it if you can stomach

And finally... 1. The Cult of We by Eliot Brown, Maureen Farrell https://t.co/uBaQKBtze1 WeWork flew under my radar until it imploded, so most of this was new to me. It's an outrageous non-fiction thriller and I couldn't read it fast enough

This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub https://t.co/40fSOCTWPW I'd describe this as Groundhog Day with more heart, as a woman finds a way to revisit her 16th birthday over and over again, changing the past in an attempt to reach an ideal future

@john_self Dialogue with no speech marks has to really really justify itself for me, and in most cases I just give up. I think The Road by Cormac McCarthy is the only book I've read where I felt it actively works

The Black Prism by Brent Weeks https://t.co/n1ir2qIxcf I've been meaning to start this fantasy series for a while and I'm glad I finally did. An intricately-built world with a magic system based on colours, and a mid-book twist that had been re-evaluating everything so far

Billy Summers by Stephen King https://t.co/5Uz2RemF4m King's pivot to being a crime/thriller writer as much as a horror one has been great, simply because he is so good at pacing. This book makes a shift in tone and scope halfway through that a lesser writer would fumble

3. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin https://t.co/WogwkZlsHz A landmark book, the first true novel about video games, but one I think everyone could enjoy, as it's really about the pitfalls of ambition

Injustice: Gods Among Us, Vol. 1 by Tom Taylor https://t.co/Ye7wnnQKUF Look, a comic book adaptation of a video game adaptation of a comic book should just be terrible, right? But this is actually one of the best evil Superman stories I've ever read. I raced through four of them

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan https://t.co/phEf5VuR4A It's hard to talk about this family drama/legal thriller without spoiling it, but I absolutely loved the characters and devoured it. My first Picoult, and I'm now keen to read her back catalogue

4. Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky https://t.co/zCqUqWEaBv I ready a few Tchaikovsky books this year but Bear Head stood out as a totally unexpected sequel to my favourite of his, Dogs of War, taking the story in an entirely unexpected direction (to Mars!)
