Reading Roundup Wrapup: May 2020

Pick of the month: A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. I will talk about this book in full on its own and in the context of being a Hugo finalist, so I won't say much about it here, but suffice it to say that I really liked it.

All books read:
1. The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders
2. LaGuardia: A Very Modern Story of Immigration by Nnedi Okorafor
3. Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
4. The Deep by Rivers Solomon with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes
5. Monstress, Volume Four: The Chosen by Marjorie Liu
6. The Wicked King by Holly Black
7. The Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein by Farah Mendlesohn
8. Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor, Vol 2: Fractures by Robbie Morrison [with George Mann]

All books acquired:
1. Deeplight by Frances Hardinge
2. Babylon's Ashes: Book Six of The Expanse by James S.A. Corey
3. Exhalation by Ted Chiang
4. Middlegame by Seanan McGuire

With a couple small exceptions, all of my reading and acquisitions this month were in pursuit of the Hugo Awards. It's not the heaviest reading rate I've maintained, but it is pretty steady, and much faster than I have been!
