While the power was out I read a lot. In addition to a lot of excellent non-fiction for my work like Working With Style, Never Use Futura, and Making and Breaking the Grid, I cleared out some of my backlog of novels including The Memory Librarian, Blackfish City, Consulting Detective, Murder by the Book, Lost in the Never Woods, and Cemetery Boys

I recommend:
"The Memory Librarian" by Janelle Monáe: an anthology of stories set in the world described by Monáe's music albums, each one by a different author in collaboration with Monáe
"Blackfish City" by Sam J. Miller: a thriller about the people living in a floating dystopian city in the near ecopocalypse future, and how they threaten its status quo
"Cemetary Boys" by Aiden Thomas: follows a teenage brujo who, while trying to prove himself to his skeptical relatives, falls in love with the spirit he clandestinely summoned to solve a murder
