Four novels:
- The City Where We Once Lived, which Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven, called "an eerie, beautifully written, and profoundly humane book.”

- Shimmer, an IndieNext Pick likened to the work of Don Delillo and David Foster Wallace.
- Something Pretty, Something Beautiful from Outpost19, which The Millions called a "remarkable book … where cars are freedom, stories are everything, and home is thick with ghosts."
