This week we are suppose to talk about characters I’d name pets after but I still feel like I did that recently (last year at least I think) so I am just going to do something else.
So instead I am going to be talking about the Sci-fi Books I enjoyed since the last sci-fimonth, for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). I do this every Sci-Fi Month and it didn’t feel right to skip it this year regardless of my semi-break.

The Expanse Book 1 & 2 by James S.A. Corey
I was unsure about picking up this series initially but at the end of it I did enjoy the intricacies of the world and the characters. There is also a tv show that I am slowly going through season 1 so there are various ways for you to give this one a try.
Bone Silence (Revenger 3) by Alastair Reynolds
The conclusion to the Revenger Space Opera that I truly enjoyed. There is a lot one can say about this conclusion, and I’d probably agree, but I still enjoyed it. And I really hope that the author will continue on in this world because there is so many left to discover.
The Electric Heir (Feverwake 2) by Victoria Lee
The conclusion to this great duology. The Fever King was one of my favorite reads of last year. The Electric Heir was once again good and had so many interesting ups and downs to consider.
Killing Gravity (Voidwitch Saga 1) by Corey J. White
Killing Gravity is a much mentioned sci-fi novella I’d seen around before finally giving it a try. It’s a little jarring at the start as you try to get your bearing but once you do, it works great.
Exit Strategy and Network Effect (Murderbot Diaries 4 & 5) by Martha Wells
I finally read the last Murderbot novella just before the full novel came out. It was good. But not as good as Network Effect. It was all the same feels but with much more story to put your teeth in. I can’t wait for the next one!
Seven Devils (Seven Devils 1) by Laura Lam and Elizabeth May
Seven Devils is a recent release and one that I truly enjoyed. There is so much to discover in here and I can’t wait for the sequel to come out next year.
Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee
This wasn’t entirely my novel but don’t let that stop you from picking it up. This is a high revolutionary story with a robot dragon. Who doesn’t want to read that?
What is your favorite Sci-Fi Read from the last year?

Oh I’m watching the Expanse show right now! I need to read Network.

There are like 9 books out and I’ve been told that season 3 still only deals with book 2 mostly and a bit of book 3.

Sci-fi is one of those genre’s that I rarely ever reach for, but whenever I do I really end up liking the books. I think I’m just super intimidated to pick them up because they’re so different from my usual reads. Do you have any recs for light/beginner sci-fi books?

I totally understand that. I’d say that Becky Chambers is a good place to stars. She focuses a lot on character relationships.

This post couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I’ve been on the lookout for some new science fiction, and you just reminded me that I really need to finally get around to the Murderbot Diaries.

I’m big on changing it up with TTT’s, as you can see from my TTT post… Hahaha!
I’ve read the first two Murderbot books, but none of these on your list. I feel like a bad sci-fi fan. Oops! I didn’t realize Feverwake was a duology– and I’m excited about that! I hate waiting for series to all come out. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check them out.

Right? It is great when a book is a standalone or a duology and you are just able to finish it without waiting too long.

Oei, ik denk dat ik dit jaar geen enkele scifi gelezen heb. Nu ja, wel de detectives van Eve Dallas die zich in de toekomst afspelen maar niets anders dan dat.

Ik heb er inderdaad nog niet veel van gelezen. De Alien series van Gini Koch vind ik wel tof maar dan vooral door de plottwists en humor.
