The year is winding down (y'all, how is it November, and why does 2019 feel like the shortest and longest year ever, at the exact same time?). For me, that means I'm starting to think about my favorite books of the year and what will go on my best-of list. That feels so unfair, though, because there are still great books coming out in November and December even if we're past publishing's busiest months of the year.

To all of you already publishing your best-of lists, it's too early, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. To the rest of you, make sure you take a look at the amazing YA sci-fi and fantasy coming out this month to consider for your end-of-year lists!
