I just finished a really good book, and it made me think that I'm sure we all read books that are non book club books that we think the rest of our friends should read too.

For me, my most recent read like that was Vicious by V.E. Schwab. It was such a good book that I'm sad I'm done reading it now. (Review - http://yepireadthat.tumblr.com/post/1...)

What are some of your favorites?

Ooooh, I *love* recommendations! Thank you!

I just said it on Twitter, I'll say it again, here and EVERYWHERE: you should all read Becky Chambers' The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet. I, too, am sad it's over!

Three cheers for diversity in science fiction! This is like one big, wonderful episode of Firefly. Only Captain Ashby isn't a swashbuckling space cowboy and Kizzie doesn't have to shag a mechanic to replace him, and the pilot is an alien (a female alien!) and everything is awesome. The world building is wonderful, it's a mature universe (galactic coalition style), post-scarcity-exodus, post-first contact story with real people in it. Breezy narration, simple, straightforward plot, nothing but likeable characters, I loved it. LOVED IT. I shall recommend it until I go blue in the face.
