Book tastes
I’ll give most things ago and am not tied to any specific genres, but favourites tend to be Sci-Fi, modern fantasy, well-written fiction (literary or popular), popular science, crime and I’ve recently enjoyed more nature writing. Books I’ve read/listened to and really enjoyed in the past couple of years: Rivers of London series (Ben Aaronovitch), A Memory Called Empire/A Desolation Called Peace (Arkady Martine), Lessons in Chemistry (Bonnie Garmin), Washington Poe series (M W Craven). Favourite authors: Iain M Banks, Robin Hobb, Terry Pratchett, Ursula Le Guin, Jasper Fforde
Don't get this!
Romance, westerns, vampires, horror, "misery memoirs", evangelical/strong religious moral-themed.
Other notes
Would prefer being introduced to something new/a less "safe" choice than, for example, a book by an author I've read but haven't got. Would like to read more poetry, and more graphic novels. Left-leaning feminist who loves cats, walks, photography, science, tea, gardening, podcasts like 99% invisible. Happy to get one beautiful edition or multiple paperbacks.
