(Caveat: Here is listed what Margaret A. Davis has just read plus books of general interest to science fiction and fantasy. I will include books by authors I do not personally read but which patrons at my library do read and tell me how much they love them. (Hint: I do not read horror. Sorry, horror fans may peruse the Horror Writers Assn. Recommended Reading List for suitable suggestions.)
This list will be maintained alphabetical by author and consists of books which have already been published in January-December 2019 and which previously appeared on my New Releases and Forthcoming Books list.
Fantastic Futures Books, in
association with Amazon.com Books, brings you the best in Science Fiction and Fantasy.
