Book 77 of 2026: "Kiss Slay Replay" by @rachelharrison.bsky.social. I am biased toward time-loop stories and genre-smashing, so I may be unable to judge this fairly. But I think it's a great time-loop genre-smashed story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The cover of "Kiss Slay Replay" by Rachel Harrison. The title is printed on a wedding cake with a knife stuck in the middle tier and blood dripping from the wound. The image is echoed three times to drive home that this is, as noted, A Time Loop Novel.
The blurb at bottom is "Harrison's feminist horror novels are some of the most original and entertaining out there." from the New York Times.

Book 78 of 2026: “A Closed and Common Orbit” by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers #2) Similar enough to but different enough from TLWtaSAP to stand on its own while building the galaxy even further. Just a fantastic series so far. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

The cover of “A Closed and Common Orbit” by Becky Chambers. Two humanoid figures stand in silhouette at bottom left, looking up at a huge planet and star beyond it.

For me, this is by a comfortable margin the peak of the series

Jane's scrapyard chapters are some of the best survival writing in modern SF, and it's all a kid learning to fix things. Record of a Spaceborn Few is next: the quietest of the four, everyday life in the Exodus Fleet, and lovely for it.

Book 79 of 2026: "HellSans" by @everdundas.bsky.social. I thought this was horror, but it's not too much (despite lots of blood and vomit (no, really, sooo much blood and vomit)). It's good, though. A little long, but also deeply meta in all the right ways. A solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The cover of "HellSans" by Ever Dundas. The title is in big letters on two lines, with "HE" and "SA" in a sans-serif typeface, and "LL" and "NS" have serifs forming out of the fragmented corners of the letters. In the top curve of each S, women's faces look at each other.
The blurb is from Joanne Harris, author of "Chocolat": "This terrific book; a dark and clever sci-fi social satire."
