Yep, I have a sci-fi list too. It’s not as big as my fantasy list, but I think there are some gems in this group that I’ll be getting into. This was a tougher list to create because I love science fiction books, but I haven’t narrowed down what I like from science fiction books. Some of these are hardcore space operas while others are journeys through quantum physics. And of course there are science fantasy stories where it feels like a fantasy, but set on a distant planet.
A small, but mighty list with a lot of stories on here that I cannot wait to sink my teeth into. Same rules apply; these are only new series or standalones being published. I do have some books that are continuations into series (like A Memory Called Empire!), but I’ll share those on pub days when they arrive.
