2025

The Faithful Place

Re-read because I was hankering for a good procedural and picked-up the entire Tana French collection.

The Nearest Exit

I wish Berlin Station got more seasons.

Hard Light

Cass keeps being Cass, but now in the UK.

Stardust Grail

A fun space heist that could turn into a space opera with sequels.

The Tourist

A spy thriller re-read.

Same Bed Different Dreams

Learned a lot about Korean history and wild novel experimentation.

Surface Detail

Ah, space hell!

Consider Phlebas

Diving into the space opera. This definitely ended in a way I didn’t expect.

Negative Space

What a weird fucking novel.

Titanium Noir

Good mix of hard-boiled and speculative fiction.

Red Moon

This felt like a very realistic breakdown of how poorly colonization might go, and just how hostile Mars is to life.

Ghost Station

Really loving these space horror books.

A Haunting on the Hill

Spooky! A weird little update on the classic.

Pilgrim Machines

Philosophical take on exploration and galactic civilization. Felt like a more upbeat and optimistic Three Body.

Orbital

A little too florid for my tastes—read more like poetry about space than a space novel.

The Last

The best post-apocalyptic fiction I’ve read in a long time. Somehow both realistic and hopeful.

My Murder

A very strange, unique thriller. Much better than my initial worry it was a bad murder podcast book.

Unraveling

Cool Caribbean fantasy all about labyrinths, immortality, and self-knowledge.
