Angel of the Blockade - Alex Wells
Doctor Who: Deceit - Peter Darvill-Evans
Bernice Summerfield: Old Friends - Jonathan Clements, Marc Platt and Pete Kempshall
Sparks Fly - Llinos Cathryn Wynn Jones
Captain Vorpatril's Alliance - Lois McMaster Bujold
The Mislaid Magician, Or Ten Years After - Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer
Smek for President! - Adam Rex
The Hate U Give - Angie Thomas
Doctor Who: Deceit
This was at least better written than last month's offering, and a more enjoyable read, hence the extra star, but it was also suuuuuuper sexist, and I really didn't enjoy the direction it took Ace's characterisation, so not recommended.
Sparks Fly
QUEER LADIES IN SPAAAAACE
Such a lovely, absorbing, satisfying romance! I really enjoyed watching the protagonists fall for each other. And the zero gravity art form was inspired - there's a sequence towards the end that's just magical. Highly recommended!
(The author's a friend of mine, but I'm pretty sure I'd have loved it even if she weren't.)

I haven't read either since about 1993, so I feel very vindicated by your verdicts!
