There was a book tag trending on Mastodon (I’m there as @[email protected], and phasing out Twitter usage) that’s #7Books. I’m late to the thing as always, but let’s see mine, in no particular order:

1 - Enterprise Stardust (Perry Rhodan series) #

I’m adding the first book here, since it was my introduction to this wonderful series. I’ve read the first 39 or 49? Like, almost the first cycle. I really do wish to get back to it. Every time I watch/read some sci-fi with space-travel, I get reminded of it. Not only it was a lot of fun, but I’ve got some fond memories.

I was reading the original series, but J-Novel Club is releasing Perry Rhodan NEO, the 2011 reboot. I already have the 1st digital volume, and I guess I will check it out soon-ish.

2 - Hard Magic (Grimnoir Chronicles, #1) #

This is a really fun alternate-history-urban-fantasy trilogy, with one of the best magical systems - or at least, coolest ones - I’ve ever seen. Along with Perry Rhodan, this one was also responsible for me going to sleep late quite a few nights.

3 - The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) #

This is an absolute must read if you have any interest in astronomy, astrophysics, or just the space in general. Even though it’s astrophysics, the book is laid out in a way that’s very easy to understand, while still going deep enough to be very relevant. 11 out of 10, with a gold start sticker on it. Also go follow the author, Katie Mack, online (Twitter).

4 - House Of Secrets #

Besides Harry Potter and Twilight, this is a series that I share a connection with my mother. She read the first 2 books right after me, but then the 3rd one was taking too long to come out in Portuguese, so I ended up getting it in English on my Kindle. But then after it was released, of course I had to get it for her.

5 - Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things #

I was never a big non-fiction reader, but this was a book that kinda changed my perception about memoirs. It’s SO fun, heartwarming AND heartbreaking at times, Jenny Lawson is just too great of a writer.

6 - The Hound of the Baskervilles (or all Sherlock Holmes books?) #

Sherlock Holmes was a huge for me when I was younger. I just couldn’t get enough of it at some point. It definitely made me fall even more in love with mysteries, and this is one that not only was fun, but I do remember grabbing it at the bookstore when I was a “kid”.

Bonus here: I also like The Boscombe Valley Mystery a lot.

7 - Keeper of The Lost Cities (Keeper Of The Lost Cities #1) #

I’m fond of this series, but also one of the reasons is that, a while after I read the first 3 books that I got in a boxed set, I lent it to my late grandmother, and she also really enjoyed it. Even though we didn’t talk much about it, but some time after that I came to Canada, and she passed away a year and a half later 😕

I ended up reading book 4 (or 4 and 5) in 2018 while I was in Toronto, but only actually got back to the series this year. Maybe just something I wanted to do to reconnect? But anyway, I ended up almost catching up, and the latest one, Stellarlune was just released, and is on my shelf just waiting for me to start it. I just need to read the 8.5 novella first

So, I guess that’s it!

Of course, there are many more great books that I would love to talk about, but this is enough for you to have a glimpse on my reading. You can also always check my Goodreads, or even my Books Per Year page here on my blog.
