I am thinking either picking Bunny by Mona Awad or The Secrety History by Donna Tartt. TBH I want to read alot of Dark Academia, I haven't read enough and am SO intrigued!

The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin is sooo good.

Rosewater by Tade Thompson

The Prey of Gods and Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden

The Record Keeper by Agnes Gomillion

Do You Dream of Terra Two by Temi Oh I think is going to be my pick for this one.

A friend recommended Survival Quest by Vasily Mahanenko.

I think I am going with Blackfish City by Sam J Miller for this one. Been really intrigued by it and this is a great excuse to finally read it. The description on Amazon says that it deals with the consequences of climate change among other things. Pretty excited for it.
