The meme occurs weekly, on a Friday. Each week, a specific prompt is chosen, a book-related question for participants to address.

This week’s prompt: What fantasy or Sci-fi should be part of the literary canon?

I would have so many to suggest here, but I will go with a few in both genres since I love fantasy and sci-fi.

FANTASY:

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
The House in the Celurean Sea by T.J. Klune

SCI-FI:

Homunculus by Joe Sparrow
Eating Robots: And Other Stories by Stephen Oram

These are all books that I think about to this day after reading them ages ago… Some are well-known, the rest not at all, and I hope more people get to read the Sci-fi ones because they really touched too close to my comfort with their speculativeness, but that’s what made them great, at least in my eyes.

What are your picks? 🙂

I have yet to read Strange the Dreamer but I know how beautiful Laini Taylor’s writing is. Daughter of Smoke and Bones is one of my favorite books.

I’ve not heard of the two sci-fi books, but Ireally enjoyed the House on the Cerulean Sea, and I constantly hear great things about Strange the Dreamer! 🙂

Yay for TJ Klune. I don’t read a lot of Sci Fi, but I’m always interested to see what is out there!

  I really wanted to pick lesser-known authors, and these two really did an amazing job at speculative sci-fi 🙂

I have Strange the Dreamer on my TBR. I am glad you recommend it! I haven’t read any of your others either, but I will definitely check them out. I have read another of Klune’s books and really liked it. Thank you for sharing!

What’s The House on the Cerulean Sea about? I’ve seen it around, but never actually knew what it’s about.

  In short, it’s about found family, love, peculiar children, accepting and embracing oneself, and just cosy vibes overall. There is MM romance but not going to spoil. I’d say it is a cosy fantasy
