I'm doing something new this holiday season; I wanted to give book recommendations that would make good gifts! So I'm going to pick themes and list books that I think are the best of the best, making great gifts to the book lovers in your life! I will preface this by stating most of my recommendations will be YA, so keep that in mind!
Books to Buy for the Science Fiction Book Lover!
Sci-Fi is my second favorite genre. This has a lot to do with my dad, as he is a sci-fi nut! He got me watching Star Trek really early, and from that point on I was done for. My favorite book all through high school was Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, which is one of the preeminent sci-fi books (and an extra suggestion!) Below I've listed some of my favorites and some ones that I've heard great things about!
Feed by M.T. Anderson -Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains.
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow - He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: "M1k3y" will take down the DHS himself.
Mothership by Martin Lecht & Isla Neal - Teen pregnancy is never easy—especially not when extraterrestrials are involved.
Across the Universe by Beth Revis - A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.
Earthseed by Pamela Sargent - Can Zoheret and her companions overcome the biggest obstacle to the survival of the human race—themselves?
Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill - Durango is playing the cards he was dealt. And it’s not a good hand.
172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad - Who knows what's really out there?
Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan - What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?
Starship Academy: The Pearl Wars by Nick James - Jesse and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth about their new powers, the past they didn't know they shared, and a shocking secret about the Pearls.
Losers in Space by John Barnes - It is the year 2129 . . . and fame is all that matters.
