I'm so over how everyone's obsessed with sci-fi right now I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great to have some exciting new ideas in the genre, but can we please give a shoutout to some amazing fantasy books too? They're like the unsung heroes of the literary world! And what's up with all these celebrity memoirs ? Can't we just have some good old-fashioned fiction novels that transport us to new worlds?
I'm kinda surprised by all the sci-fi stuff making it to the list this year. Like, I get why memory-eating aliens and cyberpunk cyborgs are a thing, but can't we mix it up a bit? Don't get me wrong, Adam Roberts seems like a cool dude who knows his SF, but some of these books sound super niche . Still, I'm stoked to see Imogen Russell Williams on the YA list - her stuff always speaks to me . What about you guys? Any favorite picks from this year's best of list?
