Location: behind the 4th wall		We're about at the halfway point of the year so I thought we could share what books we've loved so far in 2018. (WWEnd is like a ghost town lately but hopefully some folks are still around!)

Yeah, I think that the broken Forum notifications really lessen participation. I have to keep reminding myself to come here and check for new posts.

My favorites thus far:

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon)
The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts
Artificial Condition by Martha Wells (Murderbot #2) 
Matters Arising from the Identification of the Body by Simon Petrie
From Darkest Skies and From Distant Stars by Sam Peters 
Forsaken Skies, Forgotten Worlds, and Forbidden Suns by D. Nolan Clark (David Wellington)
Elysium Fire by Alastair Reynolds

Location: behind the 4th wall		I haven't heard of many of the books on your lists daxxh and illiegible_scribble. I'll have to look them up!

(Hopefully the broken forum stuff gets fixed soon so WWEnd will come back to life. I really miss what it was in the early days.)
