In 2020, I read some mediocre, some good, a few great and a couple of amazing books. These are the ones I feel comfortable recommending you.

The Lathe Of Heaven is a sci-fi novella (or a short novel?) by the great Ursula K. Le Guin. It tells the story of George Orr, a man who believes that his dreams influence reality.

I’ve gathered 7 sci-fi books of different sub-genres that you can get for free on Prolific Works. Enjoy!

Blossoming of Callisto is a short story, which is not what I normally review, but I was so interested in the author that I had to read something ze wrote. I’m glad I did!
