I thought I was so clever waiting until the last minute so that everyone else would nominate all the things I loved. Now I'm down to the "no one else has nominated it and if I don't probably no one will" ones--still so hard! So here's a list of some things I've liked as it stands right at this moment.

Kalpa Imperial: The Greatest Empire That Never Was by Angelica Gorodischer

Dark Matter: a century of speculative fiction from the African diaspora edited by Sheree Renee Thomas
Movies
