All the Horses of Iceland
Sarah Tolmie
30) Okay, Sarah Tolmieβs *All the Horses of Iceland* was a real winner this year. Now I'm hoping there's a way to get her @baselinepress chapbookβ¦ A reminder that @tordotcom is bringing exciting work to the table! https://t.co/3aOColPOyL

The Art of Logic in an Illogical World
Eugenia Cheng
114) Cheng's *The Art of Logic in an Illogical World* was fun & had me going back to the logic I haven't though hard about in a very long time. A lot is colloquial, but that was perfect for an audiobook, really. https://t.co/p8nq6HlRWR

Ysabel
Guy Gavriel Kay
90) Guy Gavriel Kay's *Ysabel* was a book in a specific moment. His keep landing that way for me, & have for years. I don't know why, but it makes them stick⦠This one felt more like a romp, but I enjoyed it & it occupied me at a tricky moment. https://t.co/nuagFjLCOH

Word Virus: The William S. Burroughs Reader
William S. Burroughs
@digiwonk Living today is like watching William S. Burroughs collaborating with Philip K. Dick on the word virus in a public Petri dish & calling the children to scrunch in closer while billionaire man-babies get their LOLsβ¦

There Are Not Enough Sad Songs
Marita Dachsel
89) Marita Dachsel's *Divination* was another above/ground chapbook and made me think of her *There Are Not Enough Sad Songs* from a few years ago. Much to admire here. https://t.co/LhIceHwIg4

The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking)
Katie Mack
98) Also in my audiobook queue, Katie Mack's *The End of Everything*. It has an angle. It works it. She knows how to do this kind of writing well. I was entertained. (insert GIF) https://t.co/AptqWnxH4O

The Dark Is Rising
Susan Cooper
I finished reading *The Borribles Go For Broke* to my boys tonight (strewth!) & started in on *The Dark Is Rising*. I think Susan Cooper is trolling me⦠https://t.co/1GVxktULmw

Witchbody: A Graphic Novel
Sabrina Scott
92) I had a funny response to Sabrina Scott's *Witchbody*. The graphic novel format works very well, but I found myself engaging & hesitating in equal measure. More than anything, I wanted to think of its sense of magic as a critic, & that didn't help me. https://t.co/UhS4NwqMlA

Modernism: A Very Short Introduction
Christopher Butler
@bleakhousing Chris Butler's *Modernism: A Very Short Introduction* is great for its brevity. For your specific questions, maybe RabatΓ©'s edited collection *A Handbook of Modernism Studies*? But as @EmmettStinson pointed out, the new modernist studies opened the gates. WIDE.
