Stoked to see this book mentioned here; it's among my favorites. Stegner's "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" is good too; IMO it has higher highs but is a weaker effort overall.

#6I enjoy easy page-turner sci/fi or fantasy because it helps me unwind after a stressful day at work. Some of my favorites this year:
- Vengeful and Vicious by VE Schwab - Collapsing Empire by Scalazi (late 2017, but close enough to 2018)
Not released in 2018, but still fun and new to me this year. - The Red Rising series by Pierce Brown

#9Three Body Problem (this one's probably going to get mentioned a lot, and it absolutely deserves it). The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi. Red Rising (series) by Pierce Brown.
I almost gave up on Three Body Problem because it starts off a little slowly and it's difficult to see where the book is going. Absolutely worth it in the end, though. The second two are the kinds of books you can rip through quickly if you've got a little extra reading time over the holidays.
