Top Five Books I have Or Want To Read Set In Space
From Devouring Books (Linked In Title Above):
This Top 5 series started back in October and I kind of lost motivation for making it every week. But it’s back! This is a series of books that I want to read that all have a common theme. Previously on the blog I have focused on witches, werewolves, thrillers, faeries, fairy tale retellings and high fantasy. I am going to try and bring this series back for every Saturday.
The upcoming schedule is:
8/24/19 — Books about Dragons
8/31/19 — Books with a Road Trip
9/7/19 — Summer Reads
9/14/19 — Set in Space
9/21/19 — Over 500 Pages

5) Spellhacker By MK England
England returns and I couldn’t be more excited! The Disasters was a BLAST (pun intended, ok?! #rimshot)! I expect nothing less from England’s sophomore effort!
Released: January 2020
Publisher: HarperCollins
Synopsis:
From the author of The Disasters, this genre-bending YA fantasy heist.
In Kyrkarta, magic—known as maz—was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that’s tightly controlled—and, of course, outrageously expensive.
Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever.
But when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they’re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague—and possibly save the world.
No pressure.
AND THIS WEEK I’M GOING TO TAG:
Who hopefully will start joining us every Saturday!!!
Let’s Chat!
What did you think?
What are your favorite books set in space or that you want to read that are set in space?
Did any of my choices fall on your list?
I want to read A Wrinkle In Time too! I love that cover of it.
I’ll never forget the first time I read it!
I loved Artemis! I didn’t even think of how A Wrinkle in Time would fit! I need to read The Martian, so you and I are in reverse situations!
Hahaha!!!! We will have to get that done then!
Ikr! I loved Artemis so I would probably like the martian
I’m suprised that you don’t have. Illuminae or Aurora Rising on this list.
Illuminae won the poll lol so I will read it after the ARC wave, Ninth House and Kingdom for a Stage. But I refuse to let Kristoff to haunt me anymore than he already is otherwise hahaha ????
I hope you enjoy them! I have A Wrinkle in Time audiobook on loan atm, looking forward to starting it!
Can’t wait to hear what you think after you are finished with it
