Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Genre Freebie, with the prompt Pick a genre and build a list around it. You could do historical fiction featuring strong female leads, contemporary romance set in foreign countries, mysteries starring unreliable narrators, lyrical fiction books in verse, historical romance featuring pirates, Gothic novels with birds on the cover, etc. There are so many options!
After flipping between a few options, I’ve landed on science fiction for my genre… and getting more specific, I’m focusing on sci-fi books with clones, cloning, or other similar genetic shenanigans!
Here are a bunch I’ve found fascinating, including a few oldies:
- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Archetype by M. D. Waters (review)
- The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey (review)
- Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty (review)
- The Boys From Brazil by Ira Levin (check out this Flashback Friday post for more on this book and #6)
- Joshua Son of None by Nancy Freedman
- Micky 7 by Edward Ashton (the only one here that I haven’t read yet — the book is on my TBR, and I really enjoyed the movie!)
- Y: The Last Man (series) by Brian K. Vaughan
- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
- Extinction by Douglas Preston (review)
Have you read any great books about clones? I’d love to hear recommendations!
