The Galaxy, and the Ground Within
Gora is a planet without resources, its only use is a stopover for interplanetary travel. The Five-Hop One-Stop is one such place for long distance travellers to rest and refuel. Run by a Laru and her child, it’s not the most glamourous of stops but…
Black Sun
Today he would become a god. His mother had told him so. The opening line may seem like something any mother would tell her son, but in the case of Serapio, his mother truly believes he will become the Crow God reborn. She blinds him,…
Legendborn
The day Bree gets accepted into an early college placement at UNC, is the day her mother dies. The last words they spoke were of anger. Unable to deal with her dad’s grief on top of her own, Bree goes ahead with the placement. Once…
Ninth House
Alex Stern does not belong at Yale. When she awakes as the sole survivor of a multiple homicide, presumed a drug deal gone wrong, she is given an unlikely offer. Come to Yale, join the House of Lethe and oversee the rituals of the other…
I can't wait to read "Do Androdis dream of electrical sheep?" but I haven't bought it yet and my pile of books will get bigger in a few days thanks to my family.
I'll let you know when I read it though 🙂 Promised!
I have Zoo City waiting for me, and I hope to get to it this month, but in the mean time I read All Clear by Connie Willis, time travel back to WWII.
I enjoyed it, but felt it was overlong & dragged in places unfortunately.
Always nice to start the year off with cyborgs!
I did the audio of Zoo City and reviewed it back in November. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.
My first ever encounter with proper sci-fi went quite well!
Thanks for choosing Zoo City and giving me the excuse to go out and get it. Loved it.
Done 🙂
Have just read it – and much to my astonishment actually quite enjoyed it!
I've just finished Zoo City, it is a great book. Thanks for the extra prompt to get stuck into it 🙂
A bit of dystopia done. Now on to spaceships in Embassytown by China Mieville and Suface Detail by Iain M. Banks.
Oh, I do like spaceships.
More dystopia with Wyndham's classic from the fifties. Next I plan to traverse the realm of cyberpunk with When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger. Thanks for the recommendation of Zoo City.
I decided this challenge was the perfect excuse to go for one of Jules Verne's books, so I read Journey to the center of the Earth this month. And I really liked it! I also add here the link to my review of The Walking Dead. I read it for another challenge, but it's Science Fiction too. It is OK if I link more than one review per month, right?
Yes as long as they were read in January. Each link gets an entry into the giveaway.
I finished Embassytown on Jan.31st., so I guess it belongs here 🙂
It's very good!
I have been trying to tweet everyone's links but have fallen behind. Thanks to everyone who's linked up, been a great selection so far.
Apologies for the tardiness, must do better with the next one!
And in my rush to post, I've forgotten to include that I read Zoo Story on my link. Sorry again…
