I loved, loved, loved Agents of Dreamland, the first book in this series, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I think I understood it less than I did Agents of Dreamland, but she has such a fascinating mind and OMG a million references. I feel like I need to reread both of the books, back to back to possibly understand them!
32. Want by Cindy Pon
This book is set in a dystopian future in Taiwan. An English language sci-fi book set in Taiwan. I'm in! I was happy visiting Taipei and seeing a possible future set in Taipei. It isn't the happiest future (see descriptor dystopian) so that was less exciting. This is definitely a novel aimed for teenagers.
I really found All Systems Red (the first book in the Murderbot Diaries) very compelling and so preordered this book and, like the first book, devoured this one in nothing flat. Martha Wells has truly created a captivating character in this murderbot/SecUnit, but she's also made such a rich and engaging world beyond the central character.
34. The Stolen Bicycle by Ming-yi Wu
I absolutely adored, adored, adored The Man with Compound Eyes. This book, which is a translation, felt written for me. It felt like someone looked into my heart and my head and said, "Teresa needs this book." So when I learned that this amazing author had another book that had been translated (and by the same translator!) I was so excited!!! It's a really good book but heavy! The animal cruelty depicted weighs heavy on my heart.
35. Late Eclipses by Seanan Mcguire
This is the fourth book in the October Daye series and reading it is like slipping into a comfy pair of yoga pants. Such a treat to snuggle up for a good yarn!
