The Gilded Wolves
by Roshani Chokshi
If you enjoyed Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (awesome book at the bottom of this page), you will love this. This is a fantasy set in Paris when the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) is about to be held. This is mostly a heist (an elaborate scheme where thieves try to steal something precious and supposedly impossible to steal) mixed with some political intrigue, found family, and with some magic thrown in. The amazing world-building will pull you in and the snarky, hilarious characters will keep you turning the pages.
Starstuff
Stories collected by Wade Roush
This is a collection of ten science fiction short stories that are hopeful (contrary to most dystopian tales). The unique factor here is that the science in these stories works and reflects what we know about physics and biology today. The characters in these stories are champions of optimism and use what they know of science in the most adventurous ways.

People believe their 100-meter-high walls will protect them from the Titans, but the sudden appearance of an immense Titan is about to change everything.
