Finding what books to read next can be a challenging endeavour. With broad interests, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the numerous choices available. Luckily with the help of some recommendations, it is possible to narrow down the list of what should I read next.

Recommendations come from all kinds of sources such as friends, browsing a book store and blog posts. Most of the books have been on my Goodreads “To Be Read” shelf for a while. Unlike my last “What Will I be reading” post, this list focuses on the first books in a series and a much more diverse genre pool. All the titles mentioned are in my possession and I look forward to checking them out and giving you my review on each one.

Be sure to let me know if you have read these titles and what you thought of them. If you haven’t, are you adding any of them to your TBR list?

A Darker Shade of Magic

by V.E. Schwab

Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.

Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, travelling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.

Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.

After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive.

Fans of fantasy (adults and young adults) will enjoy A Darker Shade of Magic, the new novel from Victoria ‘VE’ Schwab

Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir

A lone astronaut.
An impossible mission.
An ally he never imagined.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission – and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.

Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.

Or does he?
