Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.

I'll say my favorite this year was "The People of the Deer" by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.

An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

My favorite book I read this year was "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin and the rest of her Broken Earth Trilogy was fantastic as well. It's such a uniquely dangerous and i I'mnteresting world full of mystery and horror. It really grounded with fantastic characters and a compelling plot. Plus it deals with issues like systemic oppression and climate change in a way that just doesn't just feel like it is copying real world but slapping fantasy/sci Fi paint over it.
