As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I keep notes on what I read and have been making an annual post here on Lemmy for a few years running. Here’s my 2025 post with links to the earlier ones. There are so many books across those posts that your eyes might glaze over (the earlier posts are a little lighter on notes, the later ones a little heavier), but I generally try to say whether I like a book or not, and why.

That being said, my favorite author currently writing is Adrian Tchaikovsky, and almost everything he writes is great (and he’s really prolific). I’m currently reading Cage of Souls by him, which I’m enjoying.

If you can tell me the kinds of things you like, I could maybe make more specific recommendations.
