PAGE TURNERS: 15 binge-worthy Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books!
PAGE TURNERS: 15 binge-worthy Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books!
From sci-fi thrillers to LitRPG and progression fantasy – these are books we could not put down!
We’ve got 15 books and series here, so there should be something to love for almost every reader (although we need some traditional fantasy page turners – send us some recommendations in the comments please)! Plus, at the end of the episode we each rank our personal top 3.
We intentionally excluded YA and military sci-fi books, although those are often also page-turners - look out for episodes about each of those soon!
Brent’s brother, Alex, joined us for this episode, and brought us a whole new batch of books (and frankly a couple new subgenres) to enjoy. LitRPG / progression fantasy just keep getting more popular, and we can see why – the books we’ve picked up have all been so, so fun to read (although it probably helps we’ve been reading Alex’s recommendations so far, the best of the best from the hundreds of LitRPG books he’s read).
No spoilers anywhere in this episode.
