Favorite Books of 2016

it had that same feeling of almost frustration and anxiety of like almost growing Panic that planet fall had for me which sucks me in it just I had to read page after page after page and I didn't want to put it down I actually think that after Atlas is an even better book than Planet fall was because it sticks The Landing

it's like a spy Thriller crossed with a science fiction novel and there's a Twist at the end and I loved the twist not everybody loves the twist but I did

the theme resonates with a lot of people it really resonated with me about not belonging finding that place where you do belong and then realizing that in the normal world you're not really supposed to be there anymore

I have a lot of affection for packing for Mars by Mary Roach but I think that grunt has eclipsed that for me I think it is possibly the best thing she's written to date

I think it is a really good example of queer characters and the use of sexuality and sexual orientation in a science fiction novel

I love them all but red Mars oh that was so good this is hard science fiction done right in particular it has very strong character development it has amazing characters

by far this is the best and my favorite character study or character driven story I read in science fiction in 2016 it is that good

it was fantastic not only did I learn a lot about genetics and I learned a lot about the history of it the ethics of it that I never even considered before but I was constantly reminded of this book and everything that I read after it

the book that I came to appreciate far more after the fact it was really good while I was reading it especially when I got past this kind of point in the Middle where everything started coming together and it got really interesting but it is written in a very challenging style like a 20th century philosophical Memoir

I already knew I was going to like this because it contains quite a few of my favorite science fiction stories by women things like Sor by Ursula win aftermaths by locm bold and firewatch by Connie Willis so it has some really great stories in it
