Let’s begin, shall we?
I’ve been meaning to read this one for a year or so; my brother read it for an English project (the same one that lead me to Frankenstein) and liked it. And the new trailer got me SO excited, so of course I’ll have to read it before December! (Did that Pink Floyd cover give anybody else chills, or was that just me?)
Seven Devils, Laura Lam and Elizabeth May
I’ve been eager to read this for a good year and a half, ever since the first tiny synopsis compared it to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. (Star Wars? Of COURSE you have my attention, shut up and take my library card…)
Unearthed, Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Two words: Amie Kaufman. I put this one on hold at the library recently, so I might get to read it next week!
This one’s been on my TBR for years, and I really need to get around to reading it…
Landscape with Invisible Hand, M.T. Anderson
I almost picked this one up about a year ago, but I set it aside because of how short it was. Nonetheless, this still sounds like a unique and fascinating sci-fi!
I TAG ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PARTICIPATE!
Today’s song:
That’s it for this week’s Top 5 Saturday! Have a wonderful rest of your day, and take care of yourselves!
The Bookish Mutant 
I haven’t read a lot of science fiction- I should probably read more. All of these book sound great! I’m excited for the dune movie though.

Thank you so much! YES Phoebe Bridgers is the best 🥺I haven’t listened to much of Lucy Dacus or Julien Baker, but I loved most of the boygenius EP 🙂

I really want to read more sci fi and so this post was really helpful! I’ve added these to my tbr list. Seven devils sounds excellent and the cover is beautiful. I also like the sound of unearthed. Thanks for the recommendations

Brilliant review! I first heard of Dune through the 2021 movie ( I couldn’t watch the film without reading the book!) and I’m so glad I did. I think I had a similar experience to you, I enjoyed it even if it was a little longer than I normally read. The world of dune was so rich and the political tapestry was so vibrant. Here’s my review 🙂 https://hundredsandthousandsofbooks.blog/2020/11/23/read-dune-soon-a-book-review/

Thanks so much! Now that I’ve read it, I can definitively say how much I liked it. It took me a solid week to read (far longer than usual for me), but it was such a breath of fresh air to see the sheer amount of detail and love that Herbert poured into it.
I’m glad you liked it too! I read your review earlier today, as a matter of fact, great job! 🙂
