On the season finale of Everything is Canon, Steve is joined by author Rebecca Coffindaffer as they look back at their favorite books from the last 12 months!

She herself had a book release this year, her debut in fact, the excellent sci-fi thriller Crownchasers. They haven’t spoken since just before its release, so Steve and Rebecca revisit the book and talk about the reaction to it, and what it was like having a book debut this year!

And get your TBR list open and ready as we name a ton of books that we both enjoyed this year, so if you’re looking for book recs, I’m sure there’s at least one or two to write down.
