Favorite Reads of 2023

this is the book that stuck with me the longest this is the book that I think about all the time and really is is definitely in my top five science fiction books of all time

this book was written in the late 70s and really is well ahead of its time it has so many twists and turns there's a lot of intrigue and that last chapter really changed everything

this was literally one of the most disturbing books I've ever read and it really challenged a lot of what I understood about myself I highly recommend this book

this book made the original trilogy for me I just could not get over by the really clever twists that asmo put in the series and there's a brand new introduced character in this one that really got my heart

I really really thought this book was a very fresh perspective it was just a fun action adventure book that I had a really good time with and I don't think enough people are talking about

it does take a long while to start building but once the World building is established this world is unlike anything else you have ever read I really enjoyed it I felt like she is a sleeper author that more people need to talk about

this was a fantastic story and I highly recommend you go check it out I have bought the second and third books in this one and do plan on continuing the series

I really had a really good time with it I would highly recommend that if you're okay with having some mental health representation in your book you should pick this book up

boy is she just one of the most relatable one of the most strong female characters I have ever read I truly truly loved this character and I cannot wait to do a reread of this

this is the start to a Trilogy that I thought was only a duology that is a really cool first Contact colonize the planet multigeneration perspective book that was just a really good time

that third part in this book is the most controversial and I think one of the most fun that I have read in a long time

I really was surprised by this book I had a really great time with it I really recommend it if you're ready to be challenged in some different ways

I was really surprised by how cool the alien culture is I didn't really expect that from Isaac asof who usually has cool ideas but maybe not necessarily the best worldbuilding

I wasn't sure that he was going to be able to finish it satisfactorily and boy was I blown away I was super wrong this book was fantastic

I would highly recommend this book it was a lot more feminist than I ever expected and it really gave me a lot to chew on

I freaking loved ubic and I was so surprised because I've had a really tortuous relationship with Philip K dick and by tortuous I mean maybe tortured this was the third book of Philip K dick that I've ever read and it's the only one that I really enjoyed
