15. SPREAD ME by @sarahgailey.bsky.social
absolutely the most bizarre read i’ve had this year; Sarah Gailey is a master of the surreal and this one is SPICY! as many others have pointed out, this book reads a lot like if John Carpenter’s The Thing was erotica and horror at the same time

14. TOKYO UENO STATION by Yu Miri
i actually read this 9th, so the numbers are off, but it was an incredibly affecting story of the never-ending heartbreak of existence, of pain, of disillusion and hardship without end.

13. THE LAST MANAGER by John W. Miller
an absolute treat, and a reminder that baseball managers used to be real characters in the drama of MLB’s seasons. i hope to see a manager with even half as much character on the field in my lifetime

10. CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD by @adamcesare.bsky.social
an absolute banger of survive-the-night horror, small town hysteria, and the age-old fear of progress. twists, gore, and theatrics abound, and i’m immediately putting the sequel on hold

9. THE MACHINE by @joeposnanski.com
i am a lifelong reds fan who knows the machine only as a legendary, larger-than-life team that existed before even my mom was born. that being said: i’m also a lover of baseball history, and this book brought that team to life for me. spectacular

8. I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN by Jacqueline Harpman
this book is like if THE ROAD (McCarthy) crossed with Z FOR ZACHARIAH (O’Brien), and then added meditations on collectivism for good measure. it was beautiful and heartbreaking.
