I read a nice variety of stories this past month. Here are my top picks and recommendations:

A Spark Unseen by Sharon Cameron (novel; sequel to The Dark Unwinding)
Pipers by Christopher Golden (short story; included in Four Summoner's Tales)
Almost, Maine by John Cariani (play)
A Stray in the Woods by Alison Wilgus (graphic novel)
Fire With Fire by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian (novel; sequel to Burn for Burn)
