- Thriller - Nine Elms by Bryndza
- Suspense - Home Truths by Seskis
- Contemporary fiction - Holly Banks Full of Angst
- Historical fiction - Once Night Falls
- Suspense - In the Dark by White
- True crime - If You Tell by Olsen
- Picture book - This Book is Gray by Ward
- Non-fiction - That Wild Country by Kenyon
I'm not a fan of thrillers, suspense, or true crime, so that knocks my options down a lot. Once Night Falls is about Nazi-occupied Italy, and I'm kind of over WWII historical fiction. Holly Banks Full of Angst sounds too fluffy. That Wild Country actually looks interesting anyway, so I guess that's the one.
