@krakenapocalypse Oh Drake, you are mean directing me to all these books.
Show threaddrake (he/him)Dec 26, 2022
@Blanco 😂 you’ll have to let me know if you end up checking any of them out!

@krakenapocalypse I like Sci-Fi. Which one would you recommend first?
Show threaddrake (he/him)Dec 26, 2022
@Blanco All Systems Red by Martha Wells is a short read but really engaging, and there’s quite a few in the series! Also The Tarot Sequence is phenomenal if you like gay stuff and magic, I’m dying for book 4 to be released 😂

You've probably at least heard of #NKJemisin, what with the whole triple-Hugo thing and all, but what's not necessarily talked about as much is how sprawlingly queer some of those books are.

@stevegis_ssg I tried starting #TheFifthSeason a few years ago but school ended up taking precedence. I’ll have to try again :)

@law_geek how was A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians? It’s on my shelf because I liked the title but I haven’t heard much about it since :)
Show threadLaw GeekDec 26, 2022
@krakenapocalypse I absolutely loved it! It's a brilliant blend of history & fantasy. The second book is on my tbr for next year.

@krakenapocalypse I am going to check some of these out thanks. I love Sanderson and the Murder Bot diaries were soooo good!
Show threaddrake (he/him)Dec 27, 2022
@Cynthia hey thanks! I’ve only read through the first two Murderbot books, can’t wait to see what happens next :)
Show threadDream A Little  Dec 27, 2022
@krakenapocalypse My only complaint about MurderBot is the books are too short! :)

@krakenapocalypse I just finished Winter's Orbit and it was excellent!

@krakenapocalypse I found this post by hunting for some authors I love. :-) Last book I loved was Piranesi #susannaclarke … not perfect (moustachio-twirling-villains-problem), but so different and delightful. I noticed Sorcerer of the Wildeeps (#kaiashantewilson ) on your list too… such a wonderful, disarrayed book.
Show threaddrake (he/him)Jan 16, 2023
@paige I loved Wildeeps! The world building was phenomenal especially for such a short book.
Show threadDream A Little  Feb 7, 2023
@krakenapocalypse Thanks for the list. Just finished the Tarot Sequence. The first book was just Eh but the second and third were great.

@krakenapocalypse I just read the entire #AdamBinder trilogy in under a week. Loved it! Looks like I have a few more to pick up. Thanks for the recommendations!
