A smaller number than I would have expected hearing the title of the list, but about what I expected after having read sideways's list!

There are three series on here where I started a book but have not finished it, and kiiiiind of intend to read more? The Broken Earth series by N.K. Jemison, The Imperial Radch Trilogy by Ann Leckie, and the Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal (which I marked as having read at least one book, because I think I got the farthest in that one and also own it, so there's a likelier chance of me continuing). I didn't mark the other two because they're kind of in a middle space between two of the options I had to mark, and it's not as certain if I'll continue them.

I'm delighted that Wayfarers is on this list! Series of my heart. I've already read The Galaxy, and the Ground Within three times this year, and it...might be time for another.

There's a number of books on this list that I haven't heard of! And another number that I've heard of but haven't read. Might use this as a personal recommendations list as I try to find more books to read.
