Rachel you must read David Sodergren books soon. It's great horror I believe.
Jeez they all sound horrible lol
I do like these videos as I try to balance my reading between classics (I am reading mostly older books atm) and newer releases (newest has been the Children of series by Tchaikovsky and Eversion by Reynolds I believe). From this batch the most interesting to me would be the time travel book. But none really stood out to me that much, my current TBR is way more interesting :D
The Okorafor and the Fracassi book sounds intriguing 🚀
🚀🌊🌙🧀
Hello there hey there hey Hello hey
The Merciless is so f#$k up. The sequels aren't as good as that first pink one but they're still a wild ride. I highly recommand. But indeed... pretty gruesome for YA. 😅
Hey I've seen you on goodreads! 🙂
For everyone intrigued by All the Water in the World, I highly recommend checking out Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell. At the time of writing, it's the most recent recipient of the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize.
Added to TBR! Thanks!

SPOILERS SPOILERS Hello, I think the implications of the book ending were huge!!! Gigantic!! Everyone was cut off from each other. They could not travel to and from the Ring worlds anymore. Families were lost to each other for ever. Humanity did not have the capability to travel to the various worlds without the Ring space so the destruction of that capability was a sacrifice for all of humanity. Some colonies were still dependent on shipments from the Sol system. All of those colonies will die. Huge implications for all of humanity, not just the crew. And I thing Naomi is one of the strongest female characters I've encountered in literature. She leaves Marco AND he child because she must. Not because she can't take the responsibility of the relationships but because she knows what Marco will make her do. She leaves Jim when he is all self engaged. She guides Amos through issues of conscience. She goes out on her own in book 5 to find her son, has to leave him AGAIN and she has to kill Cin, who she likes, because he gets in her way. What she does in that ship to signal a warning to the Rocinante was ingenious, brave and nearly heroically suicidal. Her composure when she is held prisoner in book 3 or 4, with the first colony we see on a Ring world, takes a strength could not muster. And then there is she, rebel leader, from the shadows, being shipped secretly around using her brain to fight against humanities foes, well, she is just awesome. I think she is one of the strongest characters ever written because she IS flawed but her strengths shine through regardless of her failures. She stands next to Jim, yes, but she is her own person. I would argue he is more dependent on her than she is on him. They are my favorite couple in literature. Avasarala, my favorite character. Amos is a close second. I love his backstory in the short story, The Churn. I also love the presentation of science in these books. I felt smarter after reading them. It is just so well integrated into the writing.
I’m very interested in Philip Fracassi Sci Fi book! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these 2025 releases!🚀✨
I'm hopeful the cover finally being available means this release date for the Martian Conspiracy will be true too! 🚀
🤞🤞
So nice to have some sci fi recommendations! I'm participating in a reading challenge that I want to fill up with SF. One of the prompts is reading a new release the month it comes out, so now I know what to fill those slots in with. Love your channel! 🛸👽🌃
I'd suggest reading Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite before Drawing Blood. Enjoy!
It sounds from all the comments that Drawing Blood is not the place to start
Oh come on!! lmao. Lady, let kids swim and eat ice cream one final time. Can people hold off and let leaves change and school buses and college dorms fill up before we push summer out of the back door?
Have you read The Light Pirate? I really enjoyed that one and All the Water in the World sounds like it has similar vibes so will definitely be checking that one out next year, thanks for putting it on my radar :)
I've heard it was good but haven't read it
🚀
Stardustonboots-the moon is made of cheese-thst's there was such a rat race to get to it!..
👽🛸
Mine are: Richard Swan - Grave Empire - Book One of The Great Silence trilogy; James Islington -The Strength of the Few - Book Two of Hierarchy series ; Pierce Brown - Red God - Book 7 of Red Rising Saga (with some luck, maybe it will be released in 2025. They're more fantasy than sci-fi, but...
Just wondered if there going to make a Hollow Cocoon book (it's a great/mystery game)
I love when you give sci-fi some love. Space brooms sounds like a fun and funny book. Thanks for the great video
As you were describing the ridiculous sounding premise for the Scalzi, I was basically predicting and uttering the exact same thing as yourself about his older work and the silly-leaning modern stuff. I’ve actually given up reading him these days. I’ve got Powell’s “Future’s Edge” on my future preorder list though! February, I think… cover reveal happened earlier today (15th).
If you like spiders, or would like to read more about spiders, then Under Bethel is a great story.

"all the water in the world" sounds like one of those cozy post-apocalyptic books. The idea of having your own backyard garden in central park sounds appealing)))
A ball of cheese instead of the moon is not necessarily such a stupid idea. It could have been done by an alien civilization or a computer simulation we live in to test our psychology. From this point of view, it is even more interesting to see how all these diametrically opposed characters will react to such absurdity.
👽💩
I love how the ending music for your 🚀🪐🌠 videos and your 🎃🔪🩸 videos are different!
🛸🚀
⚛
Some of these sound interesting!👍👍👍🚀📚🤖🐲
💙
Space brooms sounds like a fun read and the cover looks cool. Thanks for your wonderful recommendations! 😄🚀
Added 'Death of the Author' to my reading list, thanks!
I hope we both enjoy it

These sound great! Thank you for the heads-up on upcoming sci-fi books! I enjoy your take on things!
Ooo nice. Love Octavia E Butler… he story Bloodchild truly messed me up. So visceral. And yet, I constantly think about it and its meaning.
I’ve never been the first view of a video! You posted 3 min ago! Nuts. Very cool. I’ve been bingeing your videos. I love how analytical you are, it really makes me trust your opinion more than if you just were like “10/10 I love it bc I do!” Hahaha
Robert Aickman and Brian Evenson will be my go to this fall.
I am currently reading White Pines by Gemma Amor. Cosmic horror mixed with occult elements in the Scottish Highlands. Check it out if you're into that sort of thing (I know I am).
For a horror series you might consider trying 'The Danilov Quintet' by Jasper Kent. Vampires during the Napoleonic wars!
As an avid comic book collector, some horror fantasy titles that I highly recommend are Monstress,Somna,Something Is Killing The Children, Postal,and The Me You Love 8n The Dark.
Appreciate the recs
