Today Chelsey and Sara explore speculative fiction and sci-fi in anotherTBR toppling episode. We're not big sci-fi readers, but we have a bunch of grounded, page-turning books to recommend today. Even if you're not an avid speculative fiction reader, we think you'll find at least one book to interest you among these titles.
