Currently, I have the following books on my wish list that I am thinking about buying.

Salvation by Peter Hamilton. I have read everything he has published except his short stories and love them so this is next on my to-read list.

Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. Seems kinda cool.

Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. It seems like a book in a similar vein as Jurassic Park, Dan Brown, Clive Cussler type stuff.

Pernasi By Susanna Clarke. I read her first book nearly 20 years ago and thought it was good. I really like creative sci-fi stuff. I am re-reading the Ninefox Gambit series again currently so this seems right up my alley.

Brandon Sanderson Way of Kings Book 3. Yeah, I probably need to start with Book 1 again and catch up. Has anyone read his Secret Books yet?

    I enjoyed the salvation series. Read them all through Libby with my library card

    As for Sanderson I love those too (as my username suggests)

    I’ve read all of the secret project books and they’re all great.

    Tress, Numi and the Wizards Guide are safe to read but I’d hold off on the Sunlit Man as it does slightly spoil where a certain character from the Stormlight Archives ends up.

      I read those 25 years ago. I gotta say, I was a rather underwhelmed but by all means read Book 1 and form your own view.

    I’ve not read most on yours bar Piranesi which is genuinely wonderful. I really enjoyed that.

    My wishlist is an absolute mess. Every time I finish a book, instead of removing one from my list, I find a new book and occasionally add to it. Here it is:

    • Echogenesis

    “Ocean At The End Of The Lane” by Neil Gayman

    Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson

    A discovery of witches.

    The witching hour.

    The Circle

    The god box

    Project Hail Mary

    Bloodsworn book 3 - when it’s released

      I have to look up a bunch of these ones. Gaiman is excellent and the Ocean book is good but not his best. Mistborn is simply outstanding though and I devoured them. Hail Mary I know about and want it on sale. I don’t recognize the rest.
