Read it now Adela it's brilliant! One of the best sci-fi books of the last decade.

Be prepared to have your mind bent! Some of the time-jumpy aspects are pretty eye-crossing!

Why are they keeping Sci Fi & Fantasy together😣? Whatever I'm happy to see Sci-Fi get more attention.

Currently reading A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Why do they ALWAYS get grouped together? I mean they're totally different genres, one is about possible things and one about impossible things, right?

I guess so librarians don't have to worry about where to shelve the crossovers...

Ahh those damn librarians come on, get it together for ffs. I guess if it's a crossover then I suppose treating it as a fantasy would make more sense? I mean I could be wrong maybe the crossovers are a completely different genre.

Librarians aren't actually the ones who stick stickers on the spines and decide the genre. But I guess crossovers are Science Fantasy? Like Star Wars. And there's the problem of whether things like faster-than-light-travel and androids-with-consciousness are fantasy or "science"...

A sci-fi and fantasy week? Nice~

Woah! Sci-fi and fantasy makes up the majority of my reading - I'm loving this😁

Hell yeah! It's about time this happened & these lists are looking really good!

I've already added a bunch of new books from here to my Want to Read shelf!

Me too! This is just awesome and I can't wait to read all those books!

I've been looking for new books to read so this is perfect.

Yes! I’m so happy that it’s si-fi and fantasy week! They are literally all I read! (Has anyone here read the maze runner.)

i'm currently reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and once again I'm amazed by how creative and imaginative his mind is. Really enjoying it so far!

Yes! I've read The Maze Runner series. I really enjoyed the first two books( check out the review if you wish). But last book, The Death Cure was terrible!!!

Yeah Death Cure was very bad but still it made me cry in those final moments😔.

Yesss some love for my favorite genres! I'm on a sci-fi high, I've read Aurora Rising and can't wait for Aurora Burning, I've also recently read Brandon Sanderson's Starsight. I'm all for outer space and alien, starships and alien life!

Does anyone know if the C.S. Lewis series, Space Trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength is ski-fi? I have yet to read them. Anyway, I know that The Chronicles of Narnia is fantasy, I love and highly recommend those!

I'm reading Reached from the matched series! So far good! :-)

Another fantasy series I like is Fairy Realm, starting with the first of the ten books, The Charm Bracelet. I also saw that The Hobbit, or There and Back Again and The Lord of the Rings are there too, I also recommend those.

Female authors like Le Guin inspired me to write SFF. Earthsea is brilliant.

Loving these lists. There are so many to chose from. My TBR just grew exponentially.

The Fantasy Hive are running a women in SFF month for the whole of July.
There are some decent giveaways on there too.
My own interview is 30 July with a chance to win a copy of Dagger Path.

Haven't read it either, but it's definitely dystopian which I'd consider a subgenre of sci-fi. But the lines are often blurry when it comes to genres.

So this week I'll re-read some of my favorite fantasy novels. Thanks for the prompt, GR.

Currently reading Red Mars and Sister of the Sword.

If you like fantasy, the SPFBO (self-published fantasy blog-off) contest is presently under way. I submitted my first novel and it should be reviewed shortly.

Those are my favourite genres so I loooove to see a week about them ♥

I really dislike Goodreads inclination to already promote popular books. I get that its an advertising site owned by amazon, but so many incredible books go unread because advertising algorithms are against them. Let me discover those hidden gems easily, instead of jumping between lists that share those small books

My genre!!! Yes! I am excited to get to so many books.

1. Three Body Problem
2. Lilith's Brood
3. Medusa Uploaded
4. Downbelow Station
5. Canticle for Liebowitz

and many, many more

Thanks! Is it a good read?

I will be continuing my Brandon Sanderson fix and reading Starsight.

Fabulous book; I’ve read (and loved) the whole series !

I'm currently reading Dune on my Kindle and listening to Children of Virtue and Vengeance on Audible.

Iain M. Banks

Yesss I just finished that! I love these books so much

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

75% of what I read is SFF. This week I happen to be reading Network Effect by Martha Wells, book 5 of the amazing Murderbot series.

I read this and liked it although I'm not a sci-fi fan I got hooked! now I'm waiting for book 2 almost out!

I will be reading The Fellowship of the Ring

I've been wanting to read wings of fire I have the first five books and maybe 2020 is the year I should start them?

Totally going to read science fiction & fantasy! I am, in fact, reading some right now!
Love this week, btw!

I feel very much like promoting Mother of Learning. I believe this is one of the most underknown young adult fantasy books of our time.

Good luck!

I'm currently reading Prince of Thorns, Child of Flame and Cloak of Shadows, all fantasy.

Currently reading 'Pulp Sci-Fi From The Rock', Engen Books. Very good collection of short stories, often from first-time writers, inspired by pulp-era tropes. Pulp Sci-Fi from the Rock

I just started The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, part of The Wheel of Time series. It's wild so far.

Head of an Apostle is free on unlimited, if you like unusual, out of the ordinary science fiction.
