Ah, one of those dreaded “best of” posts. As you can see from my Books page, I managed to read/listen to 71 books this year. Granted, several of them were short stories or novellas, but still, a new record for me! Given this new PR, I thought I would post my 3 favourite books from this year.

While many were good or very good, and a few terrible, these 3 make my best of list because they had super characters, great storylines, and unique twists and turns that kept me thinking about these books long after I finished reading them. All three of these fit into the hard science fiction genre, which is one of my favourites in addition to non-fiction science books.
