Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back to The Broke and the Bookish so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.
This week is Top Ten Bookish Items or Merch I'd Like To Have. Cool topic but for SciFi Month I decided to do a list of favorite science fiction books instead. So... these are some of my favorites. At the moment... I may change my favorites regularly, but for now here are some that I highly rec.

Much as I like sci-fi in movies, for some reason I've never really gotten "into" it in books. Still, I might try Lauren Oliver's... someday. The concept seems really unique. :)
ReplyDeleteLauren Oliver's was pretty good!
DeleteALL THE WAYFARER BOOKS! 💙✨
ReplyDeleteI really need to read the Martha Wells books. Hoopla has them. 🚀
Yes- all the Wayfarer books :)
DeleteYeay Wayfarer. I really need to jump aboard the Martha Wells ship.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like!
DeleteThe Wolves of Winter looks so cool -- that cover is really striking to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI love that cover- and it was really good!
DeleteI wouldn't even know how to pick a favorite when it comes to The Illuminae Files to be honest. Obsidio broke me so hard and I think it makes me unable to compare the books decently, hah. Maybe if I reread them one day, I'll be able to make up my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteObsidio was good...
DeleteI literally cannot wait for the next Extinction Trials book and I'm looking forward to the cover reveal-let it be green!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the new cover is out???
DeleteNice! LOVED Gemina and Replica! Still need to read The Extinction Trials and Contagion! Waiting until next year to binge read Contagion with its sequel because I heard of its killer cliffhanger! Trying to save myself some sanity by waiting! Lol! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I did too! Ha ha binging Contagion and the sequel sounds great- I'm sure they'll flow well together- and definitely try Trials!
DeleteI just added The Wolves of Winter to my TBR, and I loved Obscura, too!
ReplyDeleteYay I hope you like WoW, I thought it was great.
DeleteI love how you started and ended your list with Becky Chambers!
ReplyDeleteNoticed that eh? :)
DeleteI really need to make time for A Long Way to a Smal Angry Planet. I've had it for a while now and everyne loves it!
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like it!
DeleteThe Extinction is straight up book cover porn!
ReplyDeleteIt is- one of my favorite covers actually, and the sequel covers are amazing as well!
DeleteGreat list, Greg! I just featured the sequel to CONTAGION on my post today which is reminding me I need to hurry up and read it!
ReplyDeleteI can't WAIT for the sequel to Contagion
DeleteI hadn't heard of several of these books yet. I've added Replica and Record of a Spaceborn Few to my TBR. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Record of a Spaceborn Few is SO good.
DeleteOoh, good to know.
DeleteI still have the Illuminae series on my TBR list. I have heard great things. Hope you are enjoying Sci Fi month!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your thoughts when you read 'em
DeleteI want to read the Murderbot books, and I'm curious about Obscura.

The Murderbot books are so fun!
DeleteI'm not a huge sci-fi reader but I do love me some Murderbot - you're review is what made me start reading them.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Really? Oh cool! I just finished the last Murderbot a week or two ago and loved it.
DeleteOh, I like that cover for Dark Matter. I'll have to check some of these books out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. - Katie
It is an awesome cover
DeleteI keep seeing Contagion and the Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. They must be good.
ReplyDeleteBoth are really good
DeleteLove the covers and they all carry an appeal to me!
ReplyDeleteThe Extinction Trials looks an intriguing premise, and The Wolves Of Winter caught my eye. For some unknown reason I'm always drawn to cold cover designs
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing- some designs just grab my eye. Wolves of Winter was like that for me too!
DeleteI just finished THE LONG WAY this morning and it was wonderful! Such love for this book! Immediately bought the next one. :)
ReplyDeleteYay glad you loved it!
DeleteI really liked Replica! I need to read the next book.
ReplyDeleteI liked it too!
DeleteLove the cover for The Wolves of Winter!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post for this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2018/11/top-ten-tuesday-bookish.html
It's an awesome cover!
DeleteAh, I haven't read any of these yet so I still have a long way to go... I did love Illuminae so I want to continue that series soon. Replica, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and The Extinction trials are for sure also still on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteOoh gemina's the bomb. And Long way- amazingsauce.
DeleteMust check out The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet since you list it as your favorite. Great list!
ReplyDeleteIt is I'm loving that book right now
DeleteSome of these are still on my TBR! I cannot wait to get to them!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
DeleteI was surprised to see I actually read two of these. The Illuminae Files is one of my all-time favorite series, and I liked Replica. The ending was a little sad for me, but you can't always get an HEA.
ReplyDeleteTrue- and the sequel provides a little more closure? Also Gemina was amazing!
DeleteMy husband read the Dark Matter trilogy and really enjoyed it. The snippets he shared were pretty crazy!
ReplyDeleteDark Matter WAS a crazy book!
DeleteChambers book finally came in for me at the library - I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the recs! I feel like I haven't read much sci-fi which is a shame. Your note: murderbot! has me sooo interested in All Systems Red. I've seen your recommend or review Replica before and I know you like it a lot. I'll have to read it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Replica is good and yes- you must try Murderbot :)
DeleteVal still hasn't given me the 4th Murderbot. Clearly I know what I am doing after this. (Actually I didn't even wait, I just bugged her now hah.) Part of me wants to start A Closed and Common Orbit now but... I can't decide. Agreed about Wolves of Winter- such an unexpected gem and also I want a sequel. And I really need to read Dark Matter and Obscura! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteDark Matter- I need to know your thoughts on it! And Closed and Common- oh just read it!!!!!!
DeleteThere are so many on this list I want to try! I really enjoyed Dark matter! The Extinction Trials is one on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteThe extinction Trials was surprisingly good, and dark Matter=amazing
DeleteGreat idea! I usually do a top ten best sci-fi books I've read at the end of November too, thanks for reminding me. And glad to see Becky Chambers, Martha Wells, Illuminae series and Blake Crouch on here!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I really enjiyed The Extinction Trials! I really need to read the rest of the series. 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I read much SF, as witnessed by the fact that I haven't read a single book on this list. I do have the Becky Chambers books on my TBR list somewhere... and at least one on my Kindle. I recently finished listening to The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal; they were wonderful and I highly recommend them. I think you would really like them. It's worth doing the audio, because Mary Robinette is a professional audiobook recorder as well as an author, and she reads them extremely well.
ReplyDeleteI loved Gemina, too. A few of the other books on your list are on my TBR. I don’t read as much sci-fi as I used to.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
So many of these are still on my TBR. I still need to try a Martha Wells book too.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books. Onto the third Wayfarer book. And the second Murderbot. Loved both series. Who doesn’t love Kristoff?! ❤️❤️
