MODERATORS
Since you asked specifically for books I will list some of my faves, but I highly recommend all works by the authors I'm sharing!
Post Apocalyptic fiction:
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel Centers on the aftermath of a pandemic, following the survivors through a changed world.
Moon of the Crusted Snow, and Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice some of my favorite reads this year, focuses on survivors of a societal collapse, living in a northern Anishinaabe community
Historical Fiction:
The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue based on real events, creates a story based on people who witnessed a catastrophe
The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield (the astronaut!) set during the space race, follows a group of astronauts in their mission to to moon. Very gritty and technical, but still interesting!
Anne Of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery the coming of age of an orphan on PEI.
Non Fiction:
Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga heartbreaking stories of seven indigenous children who died while living away from their families in Thunder Bay, On. to attend high school.
The River Saints https://www.goodreads.com/series/356333-the-river-saints Canadian author, but printed by Amazon. Series is not yet completed, but the author is much younger than GRRM and, barring a very unfortunate accident (knock on wood), I expect he'll actually complete it.
Is it only available through Amazon? I can't find it on either of my library apps, nor at my local library.
Anything by Peter Watts. More sci/fi, but dark and often depressing. I really enjoyed his Sunflower series. You can download some of the books for free.
From my highschool required reading courses, most (all?) of the required Canadian books were dark and depressing, so it fits.
Sci/fi, space fantasy, or space opera: We Are Legion. It's a cheese-tastic book about a guy who gets his brain uploaded into a spaceship and becomes (effectively) a small scale deity with lots of plot armour. It's fun to read, but fairly predictable. In the same vein as Andy Weir.
Oh thanks! That sounds perfect.
The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erickson is among the all-time greats of epic fantasy.
I really enjoyed Elizabeth May's "Losing Confidence" if you're into nonfiction.
