2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hi all, back in the day I used to love reading. Life has got in the way but I'm hoping to get back into it. I'm setting my target at 12 so one a month. If I do more even better. Does anyone have any good recommendations that they think is a must read? Xx

Welcome to the group, Lisa, and best of luck with your reading goal for 2022! What genres do you like to read?

I like ya, dystopian, but pretty much anything. As long as its not a soppy romantic lol

Margaret Atwood has some really good dystopian books, or you might enjoy the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness, which is YA dystopian.

oh super, i'll have a look now. Thank you xx

Margret Atwood's Oryx and Crake is pretty good if you don't mind different timelines. I have not read beyond the first chapter yet, but the The Prison Healer seems good. I have to warn for sexual assault in the book (I don't know if there are other triggers). The Road is good but has a mile-long list of serious trigger warnings (it was a favorite (though not fun) read of my high school dystopian lit class).

Books I haven't read, but thought of based on the previous discussions: Foundryside, Skyward, Renegades, Project Hail Mary, and the Iron Widow. Though these is more sci-fi ya than fantasy ya or just ya, I felt that they matched the dystopian point better.
