I went on a reading blitz in 2023 but haven't done much since then, which kind of sucks.
I did Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy, loved it. Becky Chambers? Read everything she wrote. Love.
Some other things in there that were kind of dumb but enjoyable (Rysa Aoki's Light From Distant Stars) or just shallow (Legends & Lattes) or forgettable (Alice Oseman's Loveless) but I have tried several others and it isn't sticking.
Too bad; I really do enjoy reading but nothing's really taking hold.
I really liked Broken Earth too, and I have Becky Chambers on the TBR.
You could try sci-fi magazines or short-story collections (like The New Yorker's Century Of Fiction which is over 1000 pages!) to find new authors you like and check out their work. Or you could double-down on Jemisin's other books.
