The Sci-Fi genre can be intimidating so I decided to film a “Beginner’s Guide to Sci-fi” to be able to give you some recommendations! Here are books I would recommend for beginners who want to read some sci-fi books. Wether you usually read more contemporaries or action-packed books, you should be able to find the sci-fi equivalent here!

ALL 3 WAYWARD PINES BOOK ARE ON AMAZON FOR $5.37 (all 3 books on kindle) 3 books for $5!
Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the galaxy is a great book for beginners because it’ll just make you laugh. If you like action I’m in the middle of reading Ready Player One and I love it.
I always thought Sci-fi was not my cup of tea but I’ve realised how many I actually love. I mentioned on another video that I was stuck in a rut, reading 5 books at the same time but not finishing them. I picked up Sleeping Giants and that seemed to solve that issue.l, such a fast read. I also would suggest The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; very zany and funny.
I have a ton of screenshots with funny Emily-faces haha whenever I want to save a recommendation for later I just do a screenshot instead of writing it down haha 😛
What’s the best Sci-Fi book you’ve ever read?? :D`
I read Dark Matter because of you and I loved it 🙂 reading now Illuminae, so let’s see. So many of those are on my tbr you have no idea
I remember starting sci-fi by picking up “The Robots of Dawn” by Asimov, in my school library at 13. It was groundbreaking for me. Afterwards I was reading a lot of his short robot stories. Another great starting book was Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke.
Emily, this makeup look fits you PERFECTLY! I just watched your tutorial and I want to do it so badly! Hazel eyes are really beautiful on you too. I just added Flowers for Argenon to my TBR because that book sounds INCREDIBLE.
Thank you a lot for the recommendations. 🙂 Station eleven and the humans and replay and the fifthte- okay…..maybe all of them sound interesting ^^’
I’ve added a few books to my TBR that I am pretty excited for from this. Thanks for the recs. I LOVE that you have Wool and Dark Matter on the list. Two of my favorite Sci-Fis.
currently listening to dark matter because of your recommendation
Emily, have you ever read the Imperial Radch trilogy (first book being Ancillary Justice)? It’s by far the best sci-fi I’ve ever read, and I recommend it to everyone !!
I just started The illuminae Files. I am on Gemina and loving the series. It’s mind blowing. I was always afraid of Sci-Fi but I find myself reaching for it more often.
Hi Emily! I picked up the humans by matt haig because of you and i’m LOVING it! Thank you!
Great recommendations! The Humans is one of my absolute all time favorites! Flowers for Algernon is up there too. I also love dark matter and station eleven. The first 15 lives of Harry August is high on my list to read.
I really enjoy these kind of videos 🙂 I have the pines trilogy and dark matter, I really need to read them soon. I’ve watched seasons 1 & 2 of Wayward Pines already but I really need to read the books. Great video ☺
The Binti trilogy, especially the first book, are so so so well loved and definitely approachable. I think I’m the only one in the world who didn’t love it, so I suggest other folks try it out. It’s a good beginners book, features a black main female main character, and a pretty exciting world. It’s more space-focused in its genre than the ones you showed in your video though.
I’m so glad you mentioned the U.S. title!
My first sci-fi book was The Day of the Triffids and it is still one of my most favourite. I read Flowers for Algernon too and I fell in love with the story. Yesterday I started Dark Matter so I can’t wait what’s gonna be 🙂 Hope you will make fantasy recommendations too 🙂
I would love, love , love a reading list of the best post-apocalyptic reads. I just finished Zone One and I want more!
Thank you for list. Now for post-apocalyptic book recs
I really really love your recommendations! I have read half of the books you mentioned and I enjoyed all of them. The other half sounds so so interesting as well, especially The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I like that the books you recommend all have unique premises that are not generic sci-fi. I don’t know whether you’ve made a video like this but about thriller recommendations before, but if not I would be very interested in watching it!
One other book that have similar premise that I also enjoy is Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, although it’s more of a historical novel with a slight sci-fi twist.
Hey there! You mentioned you’ve been in the post-apocalyptic genre reading mood lately. I think you might enjoy The Passage by Justin Cronin (I noticed you marked that as TBR on goodreads). It has the Stephen King vibe. I haven’t completed it but from what I’ve read so far, it’s really great.
This is such a helpful video! I usually read mystery/thriller books but have been wanting to branch out. Thanks for the recommendations!
Flowers for Algernon was better as a short story. The movie, named Charles, is better than the book.
Silo is pronounced Sigh-Low
Can you do one where it’s more out space themed… like that kind of sci-fi? I don’t know where to start but I wanna read a few of those kinds of books.
I literally just received my order of The Humans in the mail today. So excited to read it
Love your makeup <3 I bought a yellow eyeshadow right away to try to recreate your look :p and thank you for this video, I want to read all of the books you recommend!!
Oh well this is just perfect! I’ve been looking for some sci fi recs here and there because I don’t read much of this genre but lately I’ve been seriously feeling like it, so thank you so so much ✨ also, I recently bought The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and I can’t wait to dive into it asap
I got so many new books to read!
Also, love your makeup 😀
Dark Matter is terrible.
