I've talked a lot about #Science today (and I have a lot more I want to say about science, but one can only handle so much tooting in one day!) but I'm also very into #reading!

I recently finished my 50th #book in 2022. I've used this year to reprioritize things and refocus on myself, which includes more self care through reading ❤️ 📚

So I'd love to get connected with more #readers! While my to-be-read pile continues to grow at an alarming rate, I am still always looking for suggestions!

@_astronoMay Avid reader here, though I'm nowhere near 50 books for 2022! Currently several books behind my current reading goal...What are you currently reading? North & South by Elizabeth Gaskell for me, a reread mostly inspired by my longing to rewatch the BBC adaptation. 😅

@hawksquill I'm currently reading Dawn by Octavia Butler! Then I plan to go back and finish the Broken Earth trilogy

@_astronoMay Nice. The Broken Earth trilogy is on my miles-long to read list, though I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I have read Jemisin's short story collection How Long Til Black Future Month?, highly recommend!

@hawksquill I've heard great things about all of her books! I've also been told that the Inheritance Trilogy is better than Broken Earth, so that's on my list too!

@_astronoMay @hawksquill If your enjoying Dawn, check out Nnedi Okorafor. Her Binti Trilogy gave me a Dawn vibe to it. I’ve also read Noor and Who Fears Death, which may be one of the most memorable books I’ve read or it just hit me a certain way. I’ve also heard it’s turning into a TV series by George R.R. Martin

@raukaraka @_astronoMay Love the Binti series! Her Akata Witch series is also great.

Broken Earth was going to be the top of my recommend list. Do it!

It's dark, but sooo good.
