- Hild (Nicola Griffith): a brick of a book exploring and (re)imagining the youth of St. Hilda of Whitby. It's lush with detail, with a deep sense of time and place; contemplative, queer, and full of intrigue.
- Lavinia (Ursula K. Le Guin): a lyrical, numinous tale of the titular Lavinia from the Aeneid; less a retelling of the Aeneid itself as a resituation of Lavinia into her own story. "Historiography and poetry and domesticity and mysticism", as I've put it before.
- All the Ever Afters (Danielle Teller): a Cinderella retelling from the stepmother's perspective.
