* Pierce Brown - Red Rising extract
Seems like competent post-apocalyptic YA writing, I may pick up more at some point.

* Brian Niemeyer - Strange Matter
A rather weak _Groundhog Day_ knock-off in which the protagonist gives up on saving the world in order to get laid (but he can always save it later, a break's probably not a bad idea. Not acknowledged by the story though!).

* Brian Niemeyer - Nethereal
Effortlessly dull fantasy of the type that feels like a perpetual memory test of made-up names. Didn't care, gave up.

* Alyssa Wong - Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers
* Alyssa Wong - The Fisher Queen
* Alyssa Wong - Sampos de Sanpaguitas
* Alyssa Wong - Scarecrow
Creepy supernatural stories told from the POV of someone who is a non-human being or is turning into one. Well-written and effective.
