Adult Science Fiction Book Recommendations by SFF Booktubers

[@WhatCassRead]

I LOVED this collab!! So many of my fave booktubers, but I found some new ones!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it

[@BookInvasion]

Haha! I KNEW Becky would pick that one. I need to get on that. Got some goodies to add to the TBR AND I found a couple new channels even (That's So Poe and Tori Morrow)! Thanks so much Rachel!

[@BeckyM]

Oh no, am I getting predictable?

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks for participating. I loved your intro

[@JasonsWeirdReads]

Fantastic video, Rachel! I’m surprised in that I am subbed and watch regularly almost every one of these booktubers. I did manage to find one or two new ones, though. I also added out my tbr with some great new to me books as well.

[@unity151]

I’m subbed to you and most of them too. The sci fi KZbin community is very small. I’ve only just started doing a booktube and with watch your videos and these guys has helped me.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks Jason!

[@BeckyM]

This was so much fun to be part of, thank you for inviting me! I'm looking forward to investigating all these books!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks so much for participating! I love your reviews

[@ToriMorrow]

Super late to this, but thank you so much for including me/pulling this together. There are so many amazing recs here! ☺️

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks Tori. I love your channel so I hope I was able to send some new subscribers your way.

[@ToriMorrow]

TheShadesofOrange Booktube Channel Thank you! 💚💚 I love yours too!

[@leah492]

Cool!! I'm always looking for more adult science fiction and fantasy book tubers! Science Fiction is my favorite genre though I read a lot more fantasy. So I'm excited to check these out!!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Excellent! I hope you find some new favourites.

[@TheBookishMom]

How fun! I loved your Horror Video, and I have been wanting to read more SCi-Fi so this is great! my friend Monica at Moonie reads is a big Sci-Fi reader and I get a lot of my recommendations from her. Embers of War sounds super interesting! That is one I will need to pick up for sure! The Humans is one I have been wanting to pick up for a while now, so I definitely need to make it to that one! I just finished the Binti Series, and while the books were all very short, it was a really great adult sci-fi story!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'll have to look up her channel!

[@FinalBlowJoe]

I couldn't help but smile whilst watching this; a few people that are new to me and a few I've met and spent time with. Having to film this and keep it short and concise and still cover everything was an interesting experience. I have a feeling I'll be subscribing to a few new channels shortly

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks Joe! And yes, I realized the time constraint made it tough. Glad you found some new channels to check out

[@krakentoagoodbook]

I love these videos! It can be so challenging to find SFF people sometimes. I know most of these people, but I'm always happy to find more! This is a good reminder that I need to read Embers of War ASAP. I was also thinking about picking up The Light Brigade recently..had no idea that Angela had read it lol. I've heard of Do You Dream of Terra-Two, but I didn't remember what it was actually about.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes,I really want to read the Light Brigade and Tera Two. Both sound awesome

[@horror-sickness]

This video series is one of my favorites on your channel. Thanks so much for putting the time and effort to bring us new booktubers and new books to discover 🖤🖤

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Aww thank you! I definitely have to plan another one!

[@LiteratureScienceAlliance]

Thanks again for putting this together Rachel!! I have found new books and channels ☺️

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Excellent! I have accomplished my goals!

[@SFF180]

Hey look it's all my friends! 😄 Thanks Rachel!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Haha thanks for sending in your video... twice! I adored your clip

[@ThatsSoPoe]

That's exactly how I felt, Thomas! It was so cool to see all the people participating. 😆

[@sandylewis1459]

I did add Dark Matter to my BOTH box for June and I recently purchased The City We Became so I’m slowly trying to add science fiction to my library

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Dark Matter is SO good! I hope you enjoy it

[@beccaconsumesbooks4118]

Really nice list of both books and booktubers! I know a few of these but most are new to me. Really excited to check out The Humans!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad you found some new ones!

[@jamesmitchell2114]

Hello my friend I love your channel and the way you present your analysis.

[@grafffuller3265]

Wow, what a wonderful collaboration. Thanks. This gave me some great book recommendations and some hear channel recommendations, too. I also saw a couple of friends, Jade and Shannon. Two very thoughtful and great reviewers. Definitely check their channels out. Like one of the gentlemen suggested, I'd recommend James S.A. Corey's Levuathan Wakes (The Expanse), Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries...and I would also suggest John Scalzi's Old Man's War series and Steven Gould's Jumper series. All very thoughtful Science Fiction. Thank you for this video.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found some new channels to check out. (I also love Jade & Shannon.) I'm a huge fan of The Expanse series and most of Scalzi's work, so we definitely have overlap in our scifi tastes. I will have to look up those Jumper books

[@grafffuller3265]

@@TheShadesofOrange - Stephen Gould's world is really interesting. There is a great TV series on KZbin Premium called Impuse. It is not exactly drawn from the books, but VERY similar. There was a movie many years ago (Jumper), but they didn't do justice to his world. I hope you like it.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

@@grafffuller3265 oh yes, I watched that movie. I had such a huge crush on Hayden Christianson after the Star Wars prequels lol

[@grafffuller3265]

@@TheShadesofOrange - I actually enjoy the movie, but it took liberties with the mechanics of the world that are inconsistent with the books. The books are better (obviously).

[@ThatsSoPoe]

So many amazing recommendations! I love the variety in what everyone chose to recommend. Such a fun collaboration - thanks for inviting me to participate! I love that you do these collaboration videos since it makes it so easy to find new channels based on a shared interest.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thank you so much for participating... and sending me multiple exports!

[@alibyebaby2064]

Yeaaa everyone seems to love fantasy but sci-fi reviews are tough to find. Thank you!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I completely agree... I feel like it's so hard to find enough scifi reviewers on booktube

[@oklahomaread4477]

I know I'm late to the party on this video. I discovered your channel somewhat recently, and I've really enjoyed the content. I'm always looking for more booktubers talking about science fiction, and I love that you collaborated with and linked so many of them here. I was already following a few of them, but I subscribed to several more you listed and have been enjoying those videos as well. Booktube seems to be overflowing with fantasy and lacking in science fiction and horror (other than Stephen King, of course). I really appreciate your channel and the work you put into your videos.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Ahh yes I agree... I feel there is not enough sci fi representation on booktube. Most creators I find read 80% Fantasy and only maybe 20% sci fi

[@xiaodejao1567]

I love this video. Thank you, Rachel. Also, I subscribe to all the channels in the vid.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks! So glad you found new channels to subscribe to!

[@thathorrorshow4126]

The only science fiction novel I read was Contact by Carl Sagan. All I read is horror and suspense but since this quarantine I`ve been on the hunt for other themes for my amusement. This was a good video.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thank you! I really want to read some Sagen.

[@thathorrorshow4126]

@@TheShadesofOrange start with Cosmos. Good luck.

[@Ramseyreadsandreviews]

I subscribe to most of these guys already and like the recommendations that they had. Thanks for doing this.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Awesome!

[@IvoLouro]

Where is Media Death Cult? That is a top recommendation imo.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

This video was compiled back in Feb 2020...he wasn't on my radar at the time. Now I obsessively watch his channel

[@DalCecilRuno]

I'm one of those who wants more sci-fi reader friends. :)

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Always happy to find fellow scifi fans!

[@maunderbrainsplasticity1409]

I know. I have a grand total of one other person in my real life I can discuss Anathema or Blindsight with.

[@effloress]

Wow! Thank you for this! :D

[@luca.giardinazzo]

Amazing video, thank you!

[@StevenSeril]

Subscribed! This is so awesome!!! I think I found the Twitter as well. We're having the #IndieAuthorChat there every Wednesday (I'm a regular there now), so I'll try to remember to tag you!

[@AmandaPelland]

Thanks so much for posting this video. I'm always open to reading more Sci-fi.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad to hear it! I have some of my own scifi recommendation videos planned

[@AmandaPelland]

@@TheShadesofOrange Wonderful! I'm looking forward to your next scifi recommendation video. I've been slowly building up my library and it's not so easy to find good scifi.

[@AnaluzMarinho]

I also feel people mostly recommend fantasy books and forget a little about science fiction. My favorite science fiction of all time is contact, by Carl Sagan!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes! I feel like the scifi genre does not get as much love on booktube

[@redforrori]

Oohh, Stories of Ibis sounds fab.

[@michaelbooker6142]

One of my favorite science fiction books is Dawn by Octavia Butler. It's the first in the Xenogenesis trilogy.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oooob I've been meaning to read that one forever!

[@SufficientlyAdvancedLena]

This was exactly what I wanted last week, more Scifi creators! Thank you so much!!! I have to say I'm pretty basic, my two favorite science fiction books are Caliban's War and Pines 😂

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh awesome! Yes, we can be hard to find.

[@kristyl6578]

One sci-fi book I just started is The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.....just a few chapters in currently, but I am enjoying it so far. Have you heard or read this one? If so, thoughts?

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Ooh yes, that's a great one. I think it's very accessible if you are newer to scifi because it doesn't have any hard science

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Update! A 4th book was just announced! (Out in 2021)

[@kristyl6578]

@@TheShadesofOrange that's awesome news!! Thanks for letting me know. 😊

[@marktracy1721]

For your own sci fi book list you might want to check out Media Death Cult Bye

Oh yes I like his channel

[@DarkBetweenPages]

Awesome channel recommendations!!!!

[@QuestLegacy]

Hey! I know some of these people! They are great! Now an opportunity to meet some new ones too!

Awesome! If I ever do a fantasy version, you'd definitely be on my list
