Tyler’s comments from the Beyond Reality group.

For fantasy I'll nominate The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea M. Campbell. It's a young adult superhero novel that I've found to be quite good, that I think deserves to be more well-known. It's kind of on the fence between sci-fi and fantasy but it is shelved as fantasy more so that's what I'll go with.

And for sci-fi I will nominate A Darkling Sea by James L. Cambias. This is one of my favorite books. Some really original ideas

For fantasy I will nominate Cinder by Marissa Meyer. It is YA but in my mind it kicks off a great fairy tale retelling series. It's really a science fantasy but it has more fantasy shelvings so that's what I'll go with.

And for sf I'll nominateCity of Pearl by Karen Traviss. I love this book and Traviss is an author I wish was more well known.

for sf I'll throw in Stealing Light by Gary Gibson. Great start to an underappreciated space opera trilogy.

For SF I'd like to nominate Stealing Light by Gary Gibson. Pretty entertaining space opera.

And for fantasy I'll nominate Child of Fire by Harry Connolly

For fantasy I'll nominate Sasha by Joel Shepherd.

And for scifi I'll nominate The Darwin Elevator by Jason M. Hough.

I'm currently reading Carrie which is my first Stephen King novel. Really like it so far. Next up is The Hobbit.

Have yet to read any Gaiman. This might be when I start.

Read this last year and loved it. One of my all-time favorites.

For sf I'll nominate The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu.

Recently started Overdraft: The Orion Offensive. So far a pretty solid sci-fi adventure.

I'm reading Empire of Light, the last book in the Shoal trilogy. Great so far, my favorite in the series.

I read this in November and its one of my favorites. I didn't guess Steelheart's weakness but I did figure out the professor was an epic and that Meagan was more than meets the eye. the universe Sanderson created is awesome. I could picture the setting so well. Looking forward to Firefight

This was my first Sanderson and I absolutely loved it. Felt main character's voice was executed perfectly. I'm now starting to read his other works.

For fantasy I'll renominate Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton.

And for sf I'll nominate Stealing Light by Gary Gibson. An under appreciated space opera.

I'm currently reading Independent Study and I plan on getting to Cress, Burn, A Darkling Sea, and The Martian.

I'm really excited to read this one. will start as soon as my copy's available from the library.

Just finished this and I loved it. one of my all-time favorites. It has a great what-if scenario and is very well-written. The descriptions of the setting and changes made to reality were my favorite parts. They were so vivid and easy to imagine.

For sf I'll re-nominate Gridlinked byNeal Asher.

For fantasy I'll nominate Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton.

A few chapters in and really enjoying it. Looks like it could go down as one of my favorites.

I'm currently reading Dust by Hugh Howey. Other books I plan on reading this month are The Lathe of Heaven, Control, and We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves.
