It's Science Fiction & Fantasy Week on Goodreads!

I'll be reading the third hardcover of Saga (no spoilers please!) and hopefully finally digging into "Huntress" by Malinda Lo. And I'll be working on more books in my own fantasy series, "A New Age of Magic"!

wow great when you done hit me with some of it okay

Currently reading one called Modern Magick by Charlotte E English.
Next up is a re-read of Ginn Hale’s Lord of the White Hell series.
(That series is m/m so if that is not your thing don’t buy them, if you don’t mind though, she has some awesome world building going on and an interesting plot).

Just wrapped up "The Fountains of Paradise" by Arthur C. Clarke, and now about to start in on Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy of books. I'm also working my way, slowly but surely, through Dune.

I'm reading Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams and Roadside picnic by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky this week. For starters... :)

Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor (Comics)
Red Sonja: The Ballad of the Red Goddess
TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo

Good Omens
Whispers Underground
His Majesty's Dragon

Ah, James, you are a brave man. I didn't even get to chapter 5 of Dune and I was already asleep.

I'm going to start on Rebel Seoul soon, the Korean dystopian.

I'm reading The Murderbot series. So far so good!!!!

Currently reading Parallel and almost completed half of it. Mind blogging sci-fi romance thriller, got me feel crazy. Surely giving it 5 star irrespective of whatever happens at the end. Last week, it was Semiosis, which left a heavy impression in my thought zone. Thinking 'bout some planetary adventure for next. Will keep updating. Until then...

No spoils from me but Saga is *amazing.* Enjoy!!!

Si hay algún lector hispano hablante, Victoria Stardust es una obra nueva que hace homenaje al género space opera de los 70. Si buscan una aventura extravagante, se las recomiendo ;)

I'm currently diving into an ARC of SERPENT AND DOVE!

The way of Kings (currently reading)
The Fifth Season ( starting this week)

Working my way through Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series.

I'm reading An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.

I just started Sleeping Giants this week.

Based on all the recommendations, think I might dive into Saga.

Currently reading Empire of Bones, an (IMO underrated) first contact novel by Liz Williams. Next up is probably The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty.

I'll probably read Twenty-One Arrow Salute by Kasia Bacon. Fae warriors in luv. :)
I don't think I will have the time and energy for a longer novel. Sadly.

It's always science fiction and fantasy week to meeeeee.

I guess I'll be reading In Green's Jungles by Wolfe and Ted Chiang's new collection Exhalation: Stories, because that's what I'm currently reading.

El libro me parece interesante. No tengo fluidez nativo en español, pero puedo leer la mayoría de literatura en el lenguaje. Necesito leer más ciencia ficción global

Just finishing a re-read of Kings Of The Wyld (which isn't talked about nearly enough!!!) Cleansing my pallette with a little Christopher Moore (The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove) and then, on to the ARC I received this weekend, Into The Crooked Place by Alexandra Cristo

I've just read the Touchstone trilogy - first book Stray, plus the wonderfully titled Gratuitous Epilogue and then the follow-on In Arcadia. The first trilogy is the older end of YA, but I found it perfectly readable as an adult. An Australian 18 year old on way home from school accidentally walks through a portal and finds herself on an alien planet - right in the middle of the countryside with dangerous alien animals around and all she has is what she had in her school bag - mostly her pencil case. She is a practical soul who works on surviving, even though she was not exactly into the great outdoors. One thing she does is keep a diary, and that is the form in which the book is written. So nice to read a book based on a character who isn't a super hero, but equally doesn't go into melt down. Things get considerably more complicated. Gratuitous Epilogue is the happily ever after. In Arcadia is a third person account of her mother's story. What I particularly liked about these books is the author has really thought through the implications of her world building and plot, and has a really busy imagination. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had picked up The Left Hand of Darkness some time ago, and it's still waiting to be read. An apt time to get to it!

Terminé "Borikai" de V.M.Granda mientras sigo de a poco con "Marte rojo" de Kim Stanley Robinson.

y también comienzo en lo pronto "Resurrección" de Alberto García Briz.

Y si alguien busca Hard Sci Fi puede leer alguna de mis obras...

¡A seguir escribiendo!

Prepare for your life to change forever with Saga. I'm still reeling!

I just picked up the collection 'The New Voices of Fantasy' edited by Peter S. Beagle. I'm pretty much game to read anything he puts his name on!

Brandon Sanderson (and Robert Jordan to a lesser degree) barely get mentioned once. I have no idea how these lists are made. Are top books based on ratings or popularity (or marketing payments)?

I'll keep banging this drum: time and time again Goodreads doesn't promote Sanderson like they do other (less talented) authors. I don't know why. Sanderson's Words of Radiance is one of the highest rated books (for the amount of readers) I've seen.

Crazy.

Just finished The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin, and I'm completely blown away! AMAZING fantasy/sci-fi series. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I'm currently re-reading the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmonds. Wonderful piece of SF with a strong literary pedigree and a sizable amount of horror thrown in.
Wasn't surprised to see that Simmonds also wrote "The Terror," the fictionalized account of the lost Franklin expedition which played last year on AMC.

disappointed to not see The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. All Systems Red is the first book... I love this series.

Currently working through the book of short stories, The Gray Wolf and Other Fantasy Stories by George MacDonald, who inspired C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. It's always interesting to read the authors who inspired the authors who inspire you.

I've read books 1 & 2. Have you read the Inheritance series?

Working my way though European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman.

Finishing up Autonomous and loving it.

Assuming you're talking about the top 50 fantasy list? Both Mistborn and Way of Kings are on there, you must not have looked very hard. Also none of this has anything to do with quality, it's just a popularity contest (which often runs counter to quality, imo). Of course Sanderson is going to be on it, considering he's one of the most popular, best selling fantasy writers around right now. I can think of hardly anyone who needs promotion less than he does. Him, Goodkind, and Jordan's Wheel of Time series are probably the only things paying for Tor's operation at the moment. I believe Sanderson has said something to that effect himself.

i have had a sci-fi week all week every week since the beginning of this year, actually
here goes - current reading list of unanimous awesomeness:
'the penultimate truth' and 'ubik' by my lord and master, bearer of an embarrassing surname: philip k. dick
also jeff vandermeer's 'borne' which kind of clicks with me but doesn't so i'm putting off wading further into it for this very reason - but it's still kinda-sorta interesting? i mean..
(also: philip k dick is a priority, ngl)

i will be reading some classic stanislaw lem, finishing the second book of the expanse and first book of silo, and now i'm thinking about bringing some peter f. hamilton from the library, maybe the second book of void...

Did you know that, I read it some place recently, that the Foundation series by Asimov is on some discs in the glove compartment of that car that guy sent into space?

I am not sure spreading all this crap all over the galaxy, with the bacteria and some other things just spilt all over the Moon, is a good thing. What if future humans somehow get ahold of those discs and think that this was an actual history or an actual past?

It would be like this whole damn christian religion crap or scientology.

Crazy.

I'm reading Ursula le Guin's The Dispossessed - brilliant sci fi that you can really sink your teeth into. She is fantastic as ever.

Currently reading the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier. Love it!

I'm almost finished with Stars Uncharted by S.K. Dunstall

Hmmm

Isaac Asimov author of both fiction and non fiction works know works Foundation Series,, Nightfall etc.


Tom Corbett Space Cadet series by Carey Rockwell (from at lest 50's so might be hard to find)

Of course Star Trek and Star Wars novels/comics etc

Doctor Who

Frankenstein

The Man in the Moone and other Early Science Fiction Tales edited by David Lear (in my opinion fantasy too.)

Will add later.

I am also reading How long til black future month by Jemisin and it is amazing!!!

I'm reliving the 60s New Wave and just finished Brian Aldiss's amazing Barefoot in the Head. Now I'm reading Kate Wilhelm's Juniper Time.

خب! من قصد نداشتماین کتابو الان شروع کنم، با توجه به این که سه تا کتاب دیگه دارم می خونم؛ اما به مناسبت این هفته، برجیس را بخر از آیزاک آسیموف نیز تو قفسه ی کارنتلی ریدینگم قرار می گیره.

Roadside Picnic is interesting! The movie is pretty out there too :-)

Sci-Fi & Fantasy? You mean "Business as Usual," right?

I just took a sci-fi break to read Recursion by Blake Crouch and it was excellent. Now I'm jumping back into Mistborn at Alloy of Law to finish the series without interruption. Every week is sci-fi and fantasy week for me!

Finishing 1984 in the following day or two, and then it's not decided yet, it's gonna be either Neuromancer or Altered Carbon.
