Book of the Month is… man, a really difficult choice this month, as there were a lot of really solid reads but no major standout. Ask me on a different day and I might tell you The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, Island Beneath the Sea (usually books I’ve not finished are ineligible, but I’m 30 pages from the end, so whatever,) or Black Water Sister, but I think this month’s winner is Nightbitch, for sheer staying power if nothing else.
