Time for Top 5 Wednesday! T5W is a weekly book meme hosted by Samantha and Lainey over on YouTube. Each week there is a new book-related topic to answer! If you’re new to Top 5 Wednesday and want to participate, check out the Goodreads group for information and weekly topics!
This week’s topic is Favourite Science Fiction/Fantasy Books on your TBR! *Booktube SFF Awards Babble Crossover Topic!*
*click on the book covers to be directed to the Goodreads page*
- Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: I bought both Illuminae and Gemina a long while ago but I just never get around to reading them! I don’t usually read many sci-fi books but the format of this one is DOPE!
- Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi: Can you believe I don’t even OWN Furthermore??? Smh I’m such a FAKE Tahereh Mafi stan. Is she really my favourite author if I don’t even own all of her books? (Who am I kidding, YES SHE IS!) I keep waiting for a good deal on Amazon for the hardcover but it never comes. You know what, I should just buy this already! And gosh, the cover of this is just gorgeous isn’t it? 😍
- The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember: This one comes out in May and I’m SOOO excited for it! It’s a Little Mermaid retelling and it has a f/f romance! I just know I’m going to love this one!
- A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray: When I read the first line of the synopsis “Cloud Atlas meets Orphan Black” I was SOLD! Orphan Black is such. a. fantastic. show! This book better be goooood!
- The Valiant by Leslie Livingston: Female gladiators. FEMALE GLADIATORS. I don’t think I need to say much more.
Thanks for reading!
