The group voted to read the Science Fiction nominee, Dark Matter in May. The winner for this genre was Morning Star (Red Rising, #3). Have you read any of the other nominees for this award? Which have you read and what did you think? Which was your favorite?

Do you plan to read any of them in the future? How about setting up a buddy read of one that you are interested in this month? Use this thread to discuss and find a buddy!

Schedule buddy reads here, then set up a separate thread to discuss.

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments So far I have read Dark Matter, Morning Star, A Night Without Stars, Death's End, Written in Fire and Sleeping Giants. I plan to read Remanence, Star Nomad, A Closed and Common Orbit and Too Like the Lightning.

I loved Dark Matter, Morning Star was a great finale to the trilogy, as was Death's End. Sleeping Giants I liked as an interesting concept, and I want to read the second installment in the series. A Night Without Stars was a second book in space opera duo and it was also gripping. But, as I'm a great fan of sci-fi genre, I might be a little bit biased :)

Rachel Poynter (rachiesue) | 62 comments I cannot even believe I'm saying this...but I haven't read anything on this list. I have already checked out Dark Matter from the library so that will happen soon but I'm going to have to get on the rest of this list!

Janina (sylarana) | 692 comments The only two that I've read are Dark Matter and Morning Star and I was disappointed with both of them. I think a 4th part of the Red Rising series is going to be published this year .. not sure how it's connected to the previous ones though.

I theoretically love sci-fi, but many sci-fi books just don't seem to be well-written? Or maybe I love something that's not truly sci-fi?
