I've been meaning to (eager to) read this title since maybe even before 2023; why I hadn't I don't know). So yes, I am definitely here for this. 😀

Just-finally- received this as Library e-book this AM, jumping right in as soon as I finish
Northwoods, so should be later today, or tomorrow. This will be my third Scalzi read, following
The Kaiju Preservation Society early in 2023 (I adored), and
A Very Scalzi Christmas (delightful) a few weeks ago. I plan to read quite a few of his others as well, soon: sort of a "Scalzi catch-up."

Yes, I'll be rereading. Will probably start November 2 or 3 as I'm reading
Century Rain for my first read of #SciFiMonth. I adored
House of Suns when I first read it, so I'm eager to jump in again.

#SciFiMonth so I'm starting with
Century Rainand rereading
House of Suns!

So far the SF (or SFF) I've read are:
Trident's Forge (read Book 1,
The Ark end of August);
Tides of Fire SF Thriller;
Permafrost (Group Read, and Must-Read Author);
Lacuna's Point Cosmic SFF/Horror;
Audio of
Alpha Wave.
Reading
Alpha Wave, 751 pp., and
XX, 992 pp.

Just read this evening, stunned speechless....AR is just so good!! Every title of his reiterates for me why he is a never-miss author!
I'll have more to say; at the moment my mind is so stretched with all the Thought and Imagination and (almost forgot to spoil)
(view spoiler)[A.I. in transition and shades of Hal in 2001 and the total destruction of the world-as-we-know-it and this-is-the-end-folks-no-coming-back-from-this, and the Apocalypse Now final act of Director Cho, and the quantum entanglement of Valentina and Tatiana at the very end and.....I'm totally over-the-moon!! (hide spoiler)]

I'm in (and will be for November 's
House of Suns, as AR is one of my absolutely-never-miss authors!

My first 2023 read was
Children of Memory, which I adore (and will reread first in Series and read second), but I only got to 16% and read 6 others in the meantime. (including catching up on some past entries in Charles Stross' The Laundry Files Series). Started
The Thing in the Snow last night, adoring it! (January 3 release)

June was a SciFi Readathon at another group, and for July I have set myself a personal Challenge: Einstein in Fact and Fiction. (It's also Aliens/UFO's at another group.) So in addition to some Review books, I'm heavily into Physics and Quantum Physics this month. So far:
Upgrade,
THE LAST HOUSE ON EARTH,
Einstein's Bridge,
From Beyond, A Train Through Time by Richard Blanco (ARC, SF Fantasy),
Lovecraft in a Time of Madness,
Twistor.
I've probably loaded up enough suggestions to last till 2023!:))

I'm back from Hospital and reading again, want to participate. I very much admire this author.

Jumping back in and catching up! Sidetracked by numerous review requests.

I nominate the Revenger Series by Alastair Reynolds:
RevengerShadow CaptainBone Silence

I purchased this 28 October when it was a potential BOTM, knowing I would read it soon whether or not. I first "discovered " AT during Space Opera September, with
Children of Time (which Today is a Kindle Daily Deal!). He immediately became a top favorite author. (Today I bought
The Expert System's Brother and pre-ordered
The Expert System’s Champion, so yeah, a top favorite:) .)
I read 20% last night, and as well as I can say without spoilering, there is incredible Synchronistic connection with
Evolution, which I purchased on New Year's Eve, and commenced New Year's Day. Reading both is akin to turning a prism to view at a different angle.
Additionally, I ADORE
The Doors of Eden!!

I am so excited to read this! I knew of AT, but 2020 was my first reading (the incredible
Children of Time). I'll start on Doors right away!

I read this fantastically riveting and terrifying novel on Election Day and the following day,
(view spoiler)[and I'm certain the chaotic goings-on contributed to my reactions to the novel, not to mention that living in the Coronavirus Pandemic since what, March?, strongly resonates with the horrifying pandemic of the Noocytes. This may be near-future Science Fiction, but it is also implacable Horror. (hide spoiler)] Nonetheless, I found the novel utterly fascinating (and yes, realistic) and am so pleased it is a Group choice so I was inspired to read it [had owned it for quite a while:)].

I read the blurb and just purchased this. So I'll be reading too.:)

I'm reading! I quite admire Greg Bear's work and fortunately own
Blood Music!

I've actually never read any Brandon Sanderson I don't think, so I'll give it a go.:)
