It’s a great time to be a speculative fiction reader. We’re spoiled for choice—with masterful writers reworking classic tropes, challenging cultural perspectives, and taking us beyond our wildest imaginations, the landscape of SFF has never looked more bountiful. And the best part about it is that nerds love hard, so there is no shortage of shouting from rooftops about the books that we love. Part of the joy of loving a story is sharing that love with others.

1Q84did a lot to help my book get to where it ended up going. I even quoted a line from it at the beginning. This was my first foray into Murakami, and I was never once intimidated by its 1000+ page count (and I try my best to stick to 300-page books). Quite simply, it’s maybe my favourite book of all time.
