Your annual recap inevitably adds more great stuff to my TBR. Love it.

So many great books on that list!!

📌 List of 2024 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books

mediajunkette.bsky.social•99 days ago

“Annie Bot” and “The Practice, the Horizon and the Chain” were two of my favorite books this year. So brilliant.

charliejane.bsky.social•99 days ago

This is one of my favorite things all year. I love to shout about the books I've read, but it's especially great when I get to celebrate the books that have been living rent-free in my head for months <3

Was looking for the well-regarded Saint of Bright Doors, but I guess that was 2023.

I'm so behind! ;)

templetongate.bsky.social•98 days ago

It may have come too late for your article, but Nghi Vo's The City in Glass is at least tied for my favorite of the year, with Premee's The Siege of Burning Grass.

charliejane.bsky.social•98 days ago

Loved The City in Glass so much! I reviewed it for my column last month.

singsinthecar.bsky.social•99 days ago

Ooh, I enjoyed The Fox Wife! @bbdoc.bsky.social and I also met Yangsze at Tucson Festival of Books in March.

Ninetails was a bit disjointed for me with the variety of stories, but it tackled social issues in a creative way that I appreciated.

sdtsanev.bsky.social•99 days ago

Loved The Butcher in the Forest!

fredfred.bsky.social•99 days ago

Oh crap I’ve only read one!

charliejane.bsky.social•99 days ago

You have so much amazing reading ahead of you!!!

fredfred.bsky.social•93 days ago

Well I started with Annie Bot and it was a painful read. I’m glad I read it but really fuck Doug and toxic masculinity.

Hey Charlie Jane, good to see you again!

charliejane.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hi!!!!

gegnome.bsky.social•91 days ago

Well that’s 11 more books on my TBR list

charliejane.bsky.social•91 days ago

hahaha my work is done!!!! :)

daleleeack.bsky.social•99 days ago

They're all fantasy.....

charliejane.bsky.social•99 days ago

Uhhhh no

daleleeack.bsky.social•99 days ago

So what do I pick if I want sci-fi and not fantasy?

charliejane.bsky.social•99 days ago

I guess you would pick the science fiction books, of which there are several.

krelllabs.bsky.social•99 days ago

I haven't read any of these. Serves me right for spending my year reading crime fiction and 19th century Gothics.

benschu.bsky.social•99 days ago

"Best books of the year" lists are so funny to me. I am so far behind in my TBR that I almost never read anything the year it comes out. Out of like 25 books I've so far this year, only one was published this year. (Lucy Foley's The Midnight Feast, which was excellent btw.)

benschu.bsky.social•99 days ago

I need a "best books of like three years ago" list. 😂

eviltwinzzz.bsky.social•99 days ago

Would you like to know the truth about aliens and their agenda?? It's not what you thought. Do you want to know why they abducted me, you and other people?? Need a good laugh? Or just want to help a guy fighting multiple sclerosis??

One of the fun things about the last decade or so has been
"Women I actually know are doing the 'best books' discussions in Major Newspapers and NPR"

This is a great list - I’ve read some of these already. Now I have more to try.

karenmusings.bsky.social•99 days ago

THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST was one of my faves this year too!

jennifermach.bsky.social•99 days ago

Came here to say the same thing––it's the only one on the list I've read...so far. Can't wait to read the whole set.

Ooh, I just started 'The Wings Upon her Back'! And I've been planning to read a Premee Mohamed for a long time. If this one has creepy-ass fairies, I'm absolutely sold.

andy.wtf•99 days ago

Ahhh I've been waiting for this. Thank you!

wobblingvoid.bsky.social•99 days ago

"Metal From Heaven" was such wild ride. I picked it up on your recommendation and loved it.
"Someone You Can Build A Nest In" was equally fantastic and heartfelt.
"Things Wings Upon Her Back" pretty sure I picked this up after seeing you talk about it. It made me cry a great deal but was so good.
