I liked the first two or so of the Kim Harrison books… and agree with you
also Emma Bull and Charles de Lint… mythopoeic GODS
I am recommending any of Juliet Marillier’s books. She writes historical fantasy. I just recently finished Heart’s Blood which is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a bit of Irish history mixed in. I heard her Sevenwaters series is her best which is a retelling of The Six Swans.
I read The Martian and thought that all the scientific stuff was just too much and boring for me besides that I like the characters I haven’t watched the movie yet that was the reason why I picked the book lol
Any sci fi or fantasy recommendations for me???
The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin (not to be confused with the Inheritance Cycle). The premise is very different, and I absolutely love it.
There are 13 books to the Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series. That’s not the series I am going to be finishing lol. I thought it was. Anytime you need to know books in series then I highly recommend Fantasticfiction.com
I loved the Martian! So funny and clever, genuinely one of my new favorites. I liked Dead Witch Walking but if you were unimpressed I definitely wouldn’t continue with the series. IMO the first book was one of the best and although there are some fun romps in there I found the ending of the series to be intensely disappointing.
If you like ridiculousness I would try Steven Brust’s Cowboy Feng’s Space Bar and Grille though I will tell you that I wasn’t super fond of the ending and basically anything by Douglas Adams though obviously the Hitch Hiker’s Guide is his most famous work.
Loved The Martian! I was a little bored with all the math and Science but the rest of the book was awesome! I will be finishing the Kim Harrison books soon.
World War Z!!!! I loved reading this book, but listening to it was an experience I’ve never had before. It was amazing and I will definitely listen to it again =D
great video!
read the martian last year and loved it! I’ve owned the dvd for a little while now, btu still haven’t watched it.. Really should watch it soon!
I actually thought all the technical stuff in the Martian was very interesting to read! I love how much research was put into this book and I have a soft spot for science (even though I suck at it), so I didn’t mind those bits at all.
Have you read Mercedes Lackey? Her 500 kingdoms series is pretty decent.
I thought WWZ was more psychological, examining how diverse people react to a life-threatening situation – a blind man, a family, an air force pilot, etc.
Try “Ancillary Justice” or “Illusion” by Paula Volsky.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed World War Z, I heard kinda meh things about the book but liked the movie so wasn’t sure if I should go back and read it after the fact. Now I might! Thrilled to hear you enjoyed War of the Oaks, I read it recently and like it – especially The Pooka, why or why don’t we have more characters like him in books? And more interracial couples? Seriously! It was so good. I still can’t decide on if I should read Dead Witch Walking or not, sounds like it might be more serialized story over romance, not sure if that is a pro or a con!
I’m laughing at the fact that the 80’s are considered historical reading now….. seriously I am so old for booktube!!!!
I felt the same way while reading The Martian! I was also surprised by how funny it was in parts. I normally don’t laugh out loud while reading but I did with this one.
I listened to The Martian – which considering my tendency (for audiobooks) to phase out for minutes at a time, it probably wasn’t the best situation! After your review, I feel like I should read it again, just in print form this time. xD
I loved The Martian. I think I found the technical aspects so much easier to get through because I was listening to it on audio. The audio book is _so good._ The film was fairly well adapted – though the stakes weren’t quite as high as the novel – but oh my gosh, the ending. Gah. Why? Why did they think that would be a good idea? Hollywood…
