A heart-stopping story of hope from the bestselling author of The Marrow ThievesYears ago, plagues and natural disasters killed millions and left survivors unable to dream, except for the Indigenous people of North America. Now, residential schools are set up—or re-opened—to harvest their dreams. Seventeen-year-old French is traveling with a group of other dreamers, trying to build and thrive as a community. But when French awakes alone in a pitch-black room, he knows exactly where he is—and what it will take to escape. Meanwhile, his found family searches for him, dodging new dangers. When their paths finally collide, French must decide how far he’ll go—and who he’s willing to betray—in order to survive. During the fall, I usually rotate my bookshelf so I can refocus my reads, and if it isn’t obvious, sci-fi and fantasy titles are my top priorities. This year, I wanted to do something different and explore sci-fi books that color outside the lines. I am finding that genre-bending sci-fi books make my heart flutter immensely. Whether it’s sci-fi mixed with mystery, thriller, or romance, I’m embracing them all with love and excitement. There are lots of books coming out this fall, but I wanted to highlight some of my favorite titles that I had to push to the front of my never-ending TBR pile. Recently, I’ve been into space adventures, witches, monsters, and historical timepieces. Maybe because it’s also the creepy season, but I hardly pass up a sci-fi book that doesn’t have an interesting twist to it. So here, I’ve rounded up ten must-read sci-fi books you have to check out this fall. If you are looking for more sci-fi and fantasy reads, check out this post about interesting, funky sci-fi and fantasy book covers.
