I have awesome, brilliant, prolific friends. Here is my list of books by friends for 2013: Note–these books weren’t necessarily published this year, only read by me this year. And if your book isn’t on it, it’s because I’m a terribly slow reader (as many of you know)…or I secretly hate you. In no particular order:

1. Wild Life by Kathy Fish

2. Taxis and Shit by Jonathan Montgomery

3. Paper Thin by Rob Geisen

4. Marvelous Things by David Wagner

5. From the Umberplatzen and The Merrill Diaries by Susan Tepper

6. The President and Other Jokes by Sommer Browning

7. The Boy in the Well (forthcoming) by Nick Morris

8. Godless Comics by Kona Morris, Jon Olsen, Chris Henry and Nate Jordon

9. Blood a Cold Blue by James Claffey

10. Her Skin is a Costume by Meg Tuite

11. AND…The Tenth of December by George Saunders, who is nice enough to return my emails.
