Liu is one of the most famous Chinese sci-fi writers (we are actually from the same province!) The imagination of technology and thoughts on humanity in his books are intriguing. (Goodreads)

"Her Broken Earth series made her the first African American author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, as well as the first author to win in three consecutive years, and the first to win for all three novels in a trilogy." (Goodreads)

Read the series after watching the movie Annihilation. The movie did no justice to the books. It is a very bizarre world the author imagined, almost like you are in a fever dream. (Goodreads)

The first story was adapted into the movie Arrival, one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I love the linguistic element - how languages can shape our ways of thinking. (Goodreads)

Good old space opera. Who doesn't like a strong, smart, and fun heroine?! I look forward to reading other books in this series. (Goodreads)

If you want to experience how crazy, violent, desperate, and cruel the world can be through the perspective of a Korean housewife. I was in shock for days after reading this book. (Goodreads)

The world is bizarre but with warmth. The structure of the book is interesting. Each chapter (pretty short) is written from a different person/object's POV. (Goodreads) I also highly recommend her Opowiadania bizarne.

Are we all passengers on a train?

If you love magical realism...(Goodreads)

I like how he describes his childhood home in the countryside of Russia. Very nostalgic.

If you like the show, you'll like the books even more! If you have not watched the show, you are missing out!

Seeing the world from a cat's eyes (but a satire)! I always think about how our pets probably think we are ugly because we don't have any fur on our faces!!!

I don't think many of his works have been translated into English, but I have almost finished all his novels in this series (in Chinese). (Goodreads)

I love her! If you have to read one history book this year, this is it!

Get Kleenex ready before start reading. (Goodreads)

I think people who film Ancient Aliens should read this book and get more creative.

Yes, this is adapted from the famous Sapiens. But when I get tired and can't focus on words, I go for pictures. (Goodreads)
