Escaping ExodusNicky Drayden
Loved it

We have Siosis and Escaping Exodus, which are about spaceships, different types of culture on a whale in space, and it's about like the changing of the guard and changing of culture, and it's cool.

Lonesome DoveLarry McMurtry
Mixed

I really loved part one and I really hated part two and I found part two was just there to punch us into the ground. ... It's just very long and I was bummed and I don't love it that much.

New SunsUnknown
Loved it

First, NewSun's short story anthology. Freaking love the New Suns anthologies. ... they are so tight.

Shuggie BainDouglas Stuart
Not a fan

I read this for book club and it is to this day the only book that has caused me to go into a depression spiral anxiety attack. I hate this book. I hate it and I think I hated it even more after hearing how people talked about it...

SorrowlandRivers Solomon
Loved it

Next up is Sorrowland by RiverSolomon, who is an author I love. This is probably still my favorite by them. ... I couldn't put it down.

TemperNicky Drayden
Loved it

And then Temper, which is just like a really dark horror time. ... I just think, like I said, I can't put her books down.

The Poppy WarR. F. Kuang
Loved it

I really like The Poppy War. I have people who watch that review video that like miss the fact that I say I give the first two books four stars...

The UnbrokenC.L. Clark
Loved it

Starting with The Unbroken. ... I was instantly captured by SeelClark's writing, which is coincidentally the thing that some people don't like.

Vita nostraMarina Dyachenko
Loved it

Next one is Vita Nostra, which wasn't even remotely near any of my top books, but I think about this one a lot. ... it's like kind of that psychological horror.
