Need a new obsession!
Hi, I’ve recently finished IT by Stephen King and I’m looking for my next book. I’ve been on a big horror binge the last few months and I’m looking to break away from that.
In terms of theme, there’s loads I’d like to read right now. Maybe something with space exploration star trek style, some kind of mythology, alternative history, dystopia or something homoerotic.
My favourite books are:
Contact
Hand maids tale
Never let me go
The Five People You’ll Meet in Heavan
1984
Thanks for your help and happy reading 😀

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is a good read. It’s post apocalyptic and has an interesting storyline that keeps you captivated.
*Demon Copperhead* by Barbara Kingsolver is well worth your time.
The Vorkosigan saga is a sci-fi series, one of the characters is Cordelia, a red-headed female space exploring captain like Janeway, and another character is Ethan of Athos, a doctor from a colony that has no women.
Sector General series,
Island in the Sea of Time and sequels,
The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne,
Til We Have Faces by C S Lewis,
