Sci-Fi Summer Readathon

Sci-Fi Summer Readathon

The Sci-Fi Summer Readathon starts tomorrow. Thanks, Michelle, for hosting again this year. From Season of Reading: Read-a-Thon dates: June 1 at 12:00am EDT until June 30 at 11:59pm EDT. Since science fiction is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to the genre (often grouped together), if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine. To check in on social media, the hashtag is #SciFiJune. I’m going to try to keep my updates below, but I’m also on Twitter and Instagram. My potential to-read list: Mai Tais for the Lost by Mia V. Moss Arkhangelsk by Elizabeth H. BonesteelThe City Inside by Samit BasuHer Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno DawsonA Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine Books Read: A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine (review)Mai Tais for the Lost by Mia V. Moss (review)Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse (review)...

Sci-Fi Summer Readathon Wrap-up

The Sci-Fi Summer Readathon ended last night. From Seasons of Reading: Since Sci-Fi is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to science fiction, if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine. I enjoy genre specific readathons. They either give me a chance to wallow in the genres I love or pull books off my shelf that I've wanted to read but are a little outside of my box. Sci-fi falls into that second category. I finished one of the four book I started, but should finish the others within the next few days, so I consider that a success. Totals: Time listened: 11 hrs 31 mins Pages read: 151 Finished: The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi Started:  The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (at 2 hrs 8 mins), Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty (on page 131), and Sign of the Unicorn by Roger Zelazny (on page 20; only started...

Sci-Fi Summer Readathon

The Sci-Fi Summer Readathon starts today. I don't tend to read a lot of sci-fi, but I've got a couple I've been looking forward to so this gives me the perfect excuse to pull them off my shelf. From Seasons of Reading: Readathon dates: Thursday, June 1 at 12:00am CDT until Wednesday, June 7 at 11:59pm CDT (adjust your time zone accordingly). We do a different day configuration (rather than starting on a Monday and ending on a Sunday) to go along with the weirdness of Sci-Fi. 👽 Since Sci-Fi is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to science fiction, if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine. To check in on social media, we'll use hashtag #SciFiSummerJune As usual, you do not have to have a blog to participate...feel free to link up and check in from Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, etc. These days, it seems most...
