  Shinn, Sharon

  Add Mystic and Rider to your for later shelf

  I couldn't decide which Sharon Shinn series to add to this list, so I chose the Twelve Houses world, full of mystics, political intrigue and a bit of romance. This series has 5 novels and several short stories that I loved.

  Wells, Martha,

  Add All Systems Red to your for later shelf

  Amazing new series I stumbled upon, so glad I did. I've hooked my husband on this as well. Told from the POV of a part robot/part organic Security Unit that has hacked it's controls.

• The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind

  Ford, Jackson,

  Add The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind to your for later shelf

  Awesome present day "thriller/novel" with a genetically engineered young woman with telekinesis. I enjoyed the 2nd one as well, but had to put the 3rd one down unfinished because of the offensive swear words.

• Walk on Earth a Stranger

  Carson, Rae,

  Add Walk on Earth a Stranger to your for later shelf

  Interesting historical setting during California Gold rush, where a young woman has a magical power to sense gold. I enjoyed the fantasy parts and learned from the history parts.

  Add The Girl of Fire and Thorns to your for later shelf

  One of my top 10 favorite books of all time. So glad there are more in the series.

• Terrier

  Pierce, Tamora

  Add Terrier to your for later shelf

  I can't believe I never discovered the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce until my 40's! I loved the Alanna series as well. This triology follows a young female "policewoman" of a fantasy medieval world.

  Add Life as We Knew It to your for later shelf

  First in a YA series about the disasters that occur when the moon is knocked closer to Earth.

• Ancillary Justice

  Leckie, Ann

  Add Ancillary Justice to your for later shelf

  The first in a series. The main character is a many thousand year old ship's AI stuck in a human's body. Interesting twist on AI that I won't give away in a synopsis.

• Scorpica

  Macallister, Greer,

  Add Scorpica to your for later shelf

  First in a new series of a fantasy world where women are the gender in power. Warriors, magic, brigands, secrets, an engrossing read.

• Lost in Time

  Riddle, A. G.,

  Add Lost in Time to your for later shelf

  Time travel - slightly slow build up in first 1/3, but keep with it! Super suspenseful and twisty last half! Can't think of what to say without giving away the plot.

• Dragon Bones

  Briggs, Patricia

  Add Dragon Bones to your for later shelf

  This author is famous for her Mercy Thompson paranormal series, but I really enjoyed this fantasy duo. It had some plot twists that were new to me after 45+ years of reading!

• The Familiar

  Bardugo, Leigh,

  Add The Familiar to your for later shelf

  By the author of Six of Crows, an adult novel set in the time of the Spanish Inquisition with slight magic and compelling characters.

• Silver Queendom

  Koboldt, Dan (Daniel C.)

  Add Silver Queendom to your for later shelf

  Not a well-known author, but really enjoyed this fantasy "heist" novel with just a hint of magic.

• Furies of Calderon

  Butcher, Jim, 1971-

  Add Furies of Calderon to your for later shelf

  First in The Codex Alera series of 6 books. Was the result of a challenge to combine "Pokemon and a lost Roman legion". Don't worry, there aren't Pokemon animals, but "furies" that let the magic users fly, heal and move earth. Very well written…Read moreRead more of this annotation
