September Sci-Fi Link-Up
In the spirit of Me Month, I am picking a book for you without a democratic vote (a.k.a. last minute rush poll). Part of this sci-fi challenge was to challenge your preconceptions of the genre (how’s that working for you anyway?) and another group of…
August Sci-Fi Link-Up
I’m sure you’re all distracted with holidays and/or Olympics (I know I was) so I asked Twitter to suggest some easy and/or fun sci-fi choices for the August group read. After a quickie poll, you decided on The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas…
July Sci-Fi Link-Up
This month’s group read, thanks to those of you paying attention last last two days, is a classic in remembrance of the late, great Ray Bradbury; Fahrenheit 451. It’s another one with an array of different covers so do let me know if you find…
June Sci-Fi Link-Up
Thank you to everyone that shared their thoughts this month. Apparently you like the group reads even if you’re not actively taking part. However the linky entries were down after I announced the lack of monthly giveaways… Remember each review you link will count as…
Not Just For Stormtroopers: Sci-Fi Group Read #4
I will admit, I nearly took the poll down this month as I was not excited about the choices myself. I’d wanted to try and tackle something that was actually set in space so asked around for some suggestions. But, part of this challenge is…

Not Just For Stormtroopers: Sci-Fi Group Read #3
I’m sorry, I forgot to post a poll for March’s group read and have ended up grabbing a book off my shelves that I haven’t read yet either. This month, lets prove that genre and literary fiction aren’t mutually exclusive with one of Margaret Atwood’s…
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
“Stories written before space travel.” “How could there have been stories about space travel before-” “The writers,” Pris said, “made it up.” Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter on a futuristic earth, destroyed by war. His bounty is for androids, escaped from colonies by killing…
Not Just For Stormtroopers: Sci-Fi Group Read #2
The people have spoken. This month I set a poll with a few choices for our optional group read, with a trend towards classics. It looks like a lot of you want to read Philip K. Dick’s science fiction masterpiece or want to revisit it…
Not Just For Stormtroopers: Sci-Fi Group Read #1
Thanks to everyone who has signed up for my 2012 Sci-Fi challenge. As promised there will be a group read each month for those that want to join in. The first book is one I’ve been wanting to read for some time, the 2011 Arthur…
