Oh fun! I'm tentatively dipping my toes back into usenet after many years away (last time it was just too unmoderated, but I haven't posted in this group before I don't think, so we'll see!), so I'll play! No ratings on mine, but here are my favorite 10 books from this year in no particular order:
- "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" / "A Prayer for the Crown-Shy" by Becky Chambers (these are novellas in a series of two, so we'll just call them one book since they're short and the second picks up right where the first left off)
- "The Player of Games" by Ian M. Banks
- "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer
- "Record of a Spaceborn Few" by Becky Chambers"
- "Heaven and Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride
- "Bicycling with Butterflies" by Sara Dykman
- "Blood in the Machine" by Brian Merchant
- "The Terraformers" by Annalee Newitz
- "The Light Pirate" by Lily Brooks-Dalton
- "The Lost Cause" by Cory Doctorow
