    You got me interested enough to start reading Murderbot on KU, and I'm now on the fourth one. I'm so obsessed, it's so good and Murderbot is the most relatable character I've ever seen.

    Best book of the year is a tie between Ship of magic by Robin Hobb and The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty and the worst is probably Bunny by Mona Awad but that’s just because it’s not really my type of book. I haven’t done as much reading as I want so far but I’ve still got time to turn it around.

    My favourite book so far has been A Court Of Silver Flames by SJM! I loved the romance and Cassian is definitely my new favourite batboy! I loved how we got some adult moments here too. Another favourite is of course my rereads of Shadow Of Night and The Book Of Life by Deborah Harkness. I’m going to pick up Time’s Convert this afternoon for my reread of it before The Blackbird Oracle releases, next month.

    I need more sci-fi after completing the wonderful murderbot series, I just finished an older series - wayfarers by Becky Chambers and I loved it. Never been a sci-fi fan until these 2 series, now I’m looking for my next adventure.

      If you like Wayfarers by Becky Chambers I think you might like The Salvagers by Alex White! It’s a space opera science fiction trilogy with fantasy elements. Has a large cast of super lovable characters, good representation, lots of action. I just finished the third book literally yesterday and I was very satisfied.

    Hi Regan. Have you considered listening to the audiobooks for the Red Rising Trilogy? I had a harder time reading Morning Star physically and found the audiobook so much more enjoyable and faster paced. Worth a shot if you continue the trilogy. Also, I'm looking forward to reading the Fox Wife. So many good recommendations.

    Me watching one of your videos and frantically searching for books on libby and audible 😅 Thank you for so many great and diverse recommendations!
    I also did not enjoy Red Rising, so I'm grateful to have another person sharing my opinion. I really couldn't get into the ACoTaR series as well- don't get me wrong, there was a lot to love about the first book. My favourite fairy tale is "East of the Sun, West of the Moon,' so I'm always up for a retelling of that story, I enjoyed Lucian as a character and I LOVED the ending where the main character had to go through those deadly trials. But I just couldn't connect with most of the main characters at all and I am bored by all the hot fae and their hot fae culture. The romance aspect just didn't click at all for me as a result, and so I couldn't bring myself to finish the second book because the characters and romance were really grating on me. What she went through to get her man back in the first book, only to quickly realize she doesn't love him in the beginning of the second book is like?? Not that I was that into them as a couple, but it makes the stakes of the first book fall so flat. I just wanted more Lucian and deadly trials I guess 😂
