I only have a minute so I’m just leaving Aliette de Bodard here as a heartfelt rec - I love everything I’ve ever read. Teamaster and the detective is a favourite!
And for (alt history, kinda steampunk) fantasy: P. Djeli Clark, specifically A master of Djinn, which is one of my very fav books ever.

"You will tell the whole world that there is such an offence, to bring it to the notice of women who have never heard of it, never thought of it, never dreamed of it." There will be "a perfect outburst of that offence all through the country."

bc if Nalini Singh gets me into a chokehold I’ll just reread both series AGAIN for 3 months instead of gettin ON WITH MY TBR.
Let’s see if writing it down actually helps with that.
I put my StoryGraph goal for this year at 30 books, but ngl I’d like that to be without the regular 20+ rereads.
