Andy Weir's new book comes out this fall and I'm SO EXCITED!<br /><br />"The Bear and the Nightingale" and "The Fifth Season" were both really solid reads! Plus, the next book of The Bear and the Nightingale series comes out in a few months and the last book in the Broken Earth trilogy just came out! I've only read the first book and I hope to read at least book 2 this year.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-86982227264854163962017-08-18T20:28:26.236-10:002017-08-18T20:28:26.236-10:00"Red Rising" was my favorite book the ye..."Red Rising" was my favorite book the year I read it too! Definitely check out "The Bear and the Nightingale!" I really enjoyed it, especially since I've gotten more interested in books set in Russsia. I really enjoyed the elements that came from the original folktale. And book 2 in the series comes out in a few months!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-33519997858166516602017-08-18T20:26:47.735-10:002017-08-18T20:26:47.735-10:00"Bitter Greens" has been on my to-read l..."Bitter Greens" has been on my to-read list for years! I love that cover!<br /><br />Of the sci-fi picks, I think "Dark Matter" is the most likely to appeal to just about anybody, so you might want to make that your next science fiction book!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-91839834800810265732017-08-18T20:24:07.181-10:002017-08-18T20:24:07.181-10:00I haven't read "Version Control" yet...I haven't read "Version Control" yet but it IS on my to-read list!

Or for those of us who just haven't read some of them yet. :-) I haven't read The Martian, but I might. I really liked the movie. The Bear and the Nightingale is on my TBR pile. I really enjoyed the audio of Ready Player One. I have so much love for Written in Red. And I can't wait to read Fifth Season. Uprooted is another really good one!
