Jim Higgins
Wicked Local
Nearly half of my favorite new books of 2020 were science fiction and fantasy. But I don t see that as escapism. There was no way to escape the anxieties stirred up by the deadly pandemic, demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, and the most contentious election of my lifetime.
In reading SFF, I often see determined and resourceful characters facing dangerous and constantly changing circumstances with courage. I wish I saw more of that in the world around me.
As usual, your mileage may vary. My choices are listed in alphabetical order by title. Big Girl, Small Town by Michelle Gallen (Algonquin)
