Welcome! Nice categories and list so far. I took some German awhile back and am glad I remember enough to translate some of the titles :)

Welcome to the Challenge! As for classic Sci-Fi recommendations, have you read Dune? That's one I always suggest in this category.
I like Urban Fantasy as well so I'll be checking out the ones you have listed. Two of my favorites are War for the Oaks and Angels On Fire.

@katelisim: I though about adding just the English titles but I've read the books in German so I wrote down the German titles but I think they are all linked to the English originals as far as there are such

@VictoriaPL: Well, no, I haven't read Dune yet but I just looked it up and it sounds quite interessting, so I guess I'll try it ;)
And as for the Urban Fantasy: The books in the category 'Next book in a series I've already started' are also Urban Fantasy (at least those from 1. - 7.)

Anybody knows why all the touchstones in a post are killed whenever I try to edit the post?

Hi and welcome to the challenge. I'll second VictoriaPL's recommendations of Dune and War for the Oaks.
I also have Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing in my 999 challenge next-in-series category.
