The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
Book 37 of 2026: ⭐️: Actively disliked this one; a rare instance where I came very close to bailing out and DNF'ing, and only stuck it out because it's part of my Hugo Best Novel reading project.
Night of the Living Trekkies by Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall
Book 36 of 2026: ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Apparently, my suspension of disbelief is fine with zombies, but insufficiently pedantic Trekkies is over the line.
