Hunger Games

Gideon the Ninth is at the top of my to-read list but it wasn't on any of the three library ebook apps I use so I have to actually track down a copy.

My latest read is Binti and Home by Nnedi Okorafor. Pretty good!

Probably my favorite recent reads have been Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie and the Broken Earth trilogy by N. K. Jemisin. I need to pick up Jemisin's new book, The City We Became -- I read the short story she expanded it from and it was great, so I'm pretty excited for the full novel.

 

Okay that IS a hard one, okay let's see...

Slated Trilogy -- Terri Terry
Folk of the Air -- Holly Black
Pan's Labyrinth -- Guillermo Del Torro
My Sweet Audrina -- Virginia Andrews
Flowers in the Attic -- Virginia Andrews

 

Jeanine Frost Vampire Huntress series. Cat and Bones are my goals.

Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu 天官赐福 Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

My absolute most favourite book of all time ever and I re-read it almost yearly and have for ages is "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein who is also my favourite author.

I also have a bit of a heart on for Time Enough for Love (Same Author)
