Top 50 Books since 2020 || Ranking my favorite books since being on booktube

This is a stand in for the entire Kosygin saga. I just picked my favorite book. I was between this and Cordelia's honor, it was tough to say.

But I've read a memory called Empire twice and I wholeheartedly love that book. I have a standalone review for it that is spoiler free and somehow 24 minutes.

Of course, of dragons. That's going up here. Oh, where does it go? Does it go there? Does it go there. That's tricky. I think that's where it's going. It's the whole all five books.

Next up is Arbor Reality. I am going to put that in science fiction. Oh, it's tough actually. You know what? I want to be bold.

Build your house around my body horror. Oh, it's such a good one. This one I almost. I could maybe put it on as if. Except it is directly horror.

Ooh, demon Copperhead. Do I love this more or less than a long petal of the sea? I believe I believe I love it a bit more, I believe, hard to say.

Ooh, drinking from graveyard wells. I think I like that slightly less than the arbor reality, but they're neck and neck and both of them are like they are reasons why I read the Ursula Kayla Gwynne Award in fiction.

This is short stories, and it is stronger for me than drinking from graveyards wells. But like exhalation is like my gold standard. I've read it twice.

Fool's Assassin by Robin Hobb. It's our first fantasy, so I don't have to think about it too much. This is completely and totally this one book, and I love it so much because of how it approaches grief.

Girl. Woman. Other. So this one, I think I should still put it in nonas if, if only because of how I treated Arbor reality. And this is currently my favorite in that section of our tier. Yeah, I just I love how this author writes.

Goliath is science fiction. That's going to probably be near the end, if only because it's so difficult. It's so good. I respect it so much.

Her body and other parties. Ooh, do I like that? More or less than drinking from graveyards, wells? Ooh, I think slightly more. Not by a lot. It's also I've read it twice.

Jackalope Wives is a kingfisher. It's going to probably stay near the end of short stories because I really like it, but it doesn't stick with me. I do find it like a really great representation of how t kingfisher can play in short form.

Jade City Fantasy this is representing all of Green Bone Saga, which I do like more than Fool's Assassin as a whole. Yes, I believe so.

just for the summer. So this is probably the only romance series that's ending up on this list. This is the part of your World Series. I can't express how emotionally affected I was by this trilogy of books.

life from Uncommon stars. Now, this is a fun one where I'm like never know where to put it. It's probably more of a science fiction. I adore it so much and I don't know where to put it.

This one I am so nostalgic about because I like just had a lovely winter time reading this. I just really wanted to consume it. I wasn't stressed, I wasn't anxious and I simply had a good time and I loved what I learned.

Mask of mirrors. Like you guys know where this is going. This is the top of fantasy for right now. Oh yeah I literally weekly think of rereading this weekly.

Middlegame. Oh, this is also hard. So middlegame and masking are like they're like neck and neck, but I have I reread both of them a lot. I think middlegame edges it out slightly with Roger and Dodger.

My heart is a chainsaw. I think this is slightly above build your House or on my body, if only because I'm obsessed with Jay Daniels. As a character. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is my favorite, but it is representing the whole trilogy. I adore its project, I adore it.

Next up, needle and bone fantasy. I think this is going to go near the bottom, which I think generally really does represent like taking fissure is about a big part of my reading journey these past couple years. But she never quite elevated herself to like all time favorite status that I thought she would after reading Needle and Bone.

new Suns volume two. I'm going to put that right here. And my short stories this is representing both New Suns anthologies. I think they're the only anthologies I even put on this because anthologies are tough. But New Suns, I think they are immaculately curated for my tastes.

Nine Fox Gambit man, the sci fi is tough. All right, so I think this has to go here. Not because I don't love nine Fox, Gambit and The Machinery of Empire, but I simply have not read it in five years. But it is so unique, so cool.

Our share of night. Ooh, is that about build your house around my body? No, no it's not. I want it to be. But that's just the reading experience is so different. I do love our share of night. Like our share of night is a book that snuck onto this list.

Redemption and Indigo. Where does this go? I've read this twice and I love it's like a Senegalese folk tale retelling. And Karen Lord is so funny and witty and it brought me so much joy each time I read it.

Oh scarce girl. I'm also going to put this down here. It was another one I read from, Ursula Kayla Quinn Award in Fiction. Where do I want it? I think it's also down here. It sticks with me. I bought a copy for my book trophy.

Ship of magic. That's that's up there. That's going to be right there. This represents the Live Ship Trader series, not realm of the other things. The each book in that series is five stars.

Ooh, some desperate glory. That's one of our newest ones. I think that's gonna go right here. Time will tell if it sticks around. But I did enjoy this. This was also on a surprise this late that I upgraded because Emily Tesh is like becoming an author, that I really enjoy her projects.

We've got sorrow land. I love this one. I'm going to put this one here, though, because I don't know if I'll ever reread it. And it doesn't stick with me like our share of night. I do love it, though. It's a sci fi horror about motherhood. It was engaging. It was absolutely captivating.

The best of all possible worlds. This is obviously, no question, probably one of the top books of my science fiction list. I've read it twice. I just it's so uniquely everything I love about storytelling.

Echo wife. Let's see. This one's going to go to the low end of science fiction. I really loved reading it, I truly did. I don't know if I'll ever reread it. I loved the ending.

Oh, the Good House, that was a fun horror. I'm going to put that one right here. That one was a fantastic time. That was just purely just fun. I had such a good time.

We've got the Jasmine throne. Oh, that's a good, that's a good. And I'm going to put that one right here. I do love the first book more than any other book in that series. I read it three times, read the second book twice. But man, Tasha Suri, just like I felt the humidity.

And to like the lightning. That whole series, it's going. I think it makes sense over here.

Oh, the memory please. Now, I'm not going to put this in science fiction because I, I think just because you're a dystopian, I don't think that counts. But I do really like this book I want to put right here. There are things I don't like about it, but I think it's really timeless.

All right. Only good Indians. Was that my favorite horror? When did that happen? I remember Stephen Graham Jones, obviously a new favorite author. I think right now. Gun to my head it's more, but I'm not sure.

Ooh, the Paper Menagerie. The paper menagerie. I need you guys to understand how absolutely goated these top four short story collections are like. These are short story collections where I'm like, the lowest rated story is four and a half stars.

All right, next up, the past is red. Oh, technically, I love Tetley. This one, actually, I think I want to be surprising people that it's like going right here. I do think resilient climate sci fi is interesting to me. I like it.

The sentence is going to go, I think, with a long pedal to see slightly behind it. That feels right to me. I love Louise Erdrich. This is just the one that happened to get on the list, but I've loved everything I read from her since being on BookTube.

moving on the space Between worlds. Oh, that's nostalgic to me. That's that was a debut. That was stupid strong. I want to put that right above some desperate glory. I still think about the space between worlds, and I think about how tight that was and how solid it was.

Spare cups of water. I need to reread this to really, like, settle my opinion on it, but I think it's currently here. Yeah, I think it's currently here. It suffers slightly from me having read it and maybe one of my worst months since being on BookTube. But I do really love it.

Ooh. Sort of. Again, I want to put that right above Jade city. I need to reread it. If I reread it, it could skyrocket up. It was literally one of those books that, like, from the minute I started reading it, I'm like, I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed.

Similarly, the unbroken where am I going to put you? I think you are also here. Yes, I'm about to reread it, so I might go up, but I think it's around here. Like it makes it to the top 50 because it's so surprising to me.

Wall of storms. Oh, God. Over here. I think it goes there. That's what I think. Yeah. And that's representing all of Dandelion Dynasty. But that was difficult. That was tough.

Who the Devil in Silver? I'm going to put that above. Man. I really like the devil and the devil in silver. I don't think it's above your build your house around my body. This is my favorite picture of all. And I think people are sleeping on it.

we got The Inheritance Kingdom by N.K.Jemison. So this is representing the whole series. I really like it. I love its project. I've read it twice since being on BookTube.

Ooh, the last metal. So let's see. Remember now opener. I don't know where to put this probably here. I really like how cinematic it is. I thought it was really a fun cinematic time. I was stressed, I didn't know what would happen, but I don't remember anything from it.

All right, Nikki Drayton okay, so the Prey of Gods is just I'd just pick my favorite Nikki Drayton. It was tough because I love all of them. Read Nikki Drayton. Come on guys, read Nikki Drayton.

Beautiful, I love you. You're going right here. Yeah. That's when I know. I know, it takes no questions. Like. Yes, Simon Jimenez's sci fi right there. I love it.

Warm hands of ghosts. What genre am I putting that in? I'm putting that in fantasy, and I'm putting it right over here. That feels right.
