Great video! I'm planning to give Annihilation a shot very soon, it's been on my radar for a long time. As far as recommendations, for women writers of sci-fi, Ursula Le Guin is a great one - The Left Hand of Darkness would definitely be on my personal top list of sci-fi books. Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch Trilogy, beginning with Ancillary Justice, is also amazing, and Arkady Martine's Teixcalaan duology, beginning with A Memory Called Empire, is also a great recent read of mine.
The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown (I believe she/they is an astronaut) and I enjoyed Binti by Nnefi Okarafor. Binti may be YA but the writing was still very good.
Just added They Will Drown in Their Mother’s Tears to my TBR. I just love me a good time travel story. I recommend All Systems Red by Martha Wells. It’s the first book in the Murderbot Diaries which I recently started. Two books in and they’re super short but so much fun to read.
The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin; Parable of the Sower, Kindred, Dawn, and just about anything else by Octavia Butler; The Fifth Season and its two sequels (all three won Hugo Awards) by N.K. Jemisin; The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood; The Female Man by Joanna Russ; anything by Samuel Delaney. That should keep you busy.
0:09 Octavia Butler's Kindred and Parable of the Sower are excellent reads. N.K. Jemisin Broken Earth Trilogy won 3 consecutive Hugo Awards. Onyx Pages is an Afro-future booktube channel 📚
Vandermeer's coming out with a fourth book called Absolution in October. As for Sci Fi written by a woman, I really liked Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
Nice Selcetion! You got me hooked on red rising, I was looking for another modern epic scifi series after finishing the expanse... Looks like I found one :) as another commenter here already suggested, Octavia E. Butler is a wonderful author :) if the parable series wasn't scifi enough, maybe give the xenogenesis trilogy a shot :) Thats peak scifi haha. I also really enjoyed The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin. Samuel R. Delany is a famous black scifi author but I haven't gotten around to his books yet :)
@@oumniaraoui4868 I read this last month and it was pretty good! I’m excited to get to the rest of the series as I’ve heard it gets even better in the latter books

Great list. Luv your reviews. 😊
Glad you like them!
Octavia Butler's Wild Seed.
Dawn - Octavia E Butler + her other works!
Ohhh and the Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin as well
The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown (I believe she/they is an astronaut) and I enjoyed Binti by Nnefi Okarafor. Binti may be YA but the writing was still very good.
Adding They will Drown by their Mother's Tears and to Sleep in a Sea of Stars to my tbr for sure. ☺️
@@MariaDamnRulez hope you enjoy them!!

@@sgaston3969 I loved Parable of the Sower! Was curious if it was generally considered a Sci-Fi book because it feels like todays world
Thanks for the onyx pages channel recommendation!!

It's a heavy book but River Solomon's An Unkindness of Ghosts was excellent, and it was their debut novel as well
This title sounds amazing!
Samuel Delany
Joanna Russ
Ursula Leguin
you should read empire of silence one of the best sci fi series

I'm reading Empire of Silence now. Really enjoying it so far. About 200 pages in.
