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.

Red rising, it's been so long since I read a book like ender's game but I do always enjoy the story of youth in a violent world coming to terms with the society they live in, but this one had so much more than I was expecting.

I was worried it was going to be some pale imitation of ender's game but instead it was an entirely new story that ended up providing a more brutal look into the viscera of a sick society.

Honorable mention: Logan's run which I finally read a couple days ago. Brief but wildly exciting.

You know I have this book sitting on my shelf for a few months but haven't gotten around to it yet. I heard good things about it, but I just kinda forgot about it

You'll dig it. I had to read the first three books in a row after the first one captured me.
