Sci-Fi Reading Challenge

[Adriana]

For the next three months December til March one of the reading challenges is to read as much Sci-fi books as you can! Set up a goal to help you out and discuss and review books when you are finished. Post recommendations too!

[Adriana]

I don't really know what books I want to read. Dystopian is under Sci-Fi so I'll say:



What would you guys recommend?

[Adriana]

I didn't know steampunk was considered Sci-Fi either.

[Adriana]

Also

[Viv]

Im going to try to read:

[Adriana]

Oh yeah. I have to read the whole Maze Runner trilogy again before I read the last one.

[Viv]

I haven't read it at all. Its good that I am reading it now because I won't have to wait a year for the next one to come out :)

[Adriana]

I know someone who does that on purpose. They wait til all the books are out so they don't have to be in anticipation. Who does that!? I rather suffer.

[Viv]

I think I would rather suffer too. I burned through the Hunger Games books in 4 days and I was left with that feeling of "it ending too quickly"

[Adriana]

I've done that before too. It's better to drag it out. You can get just more excited and it will be just better I guess. I don't know why. Wow. Hunger Games in 4 days!

[Viv]

Haha yeah I was running on little sleep but it was so worth it

[Adriana]

Yep!

[Adriana]

Read

which is considered sci-fi.
Put what I thought about it on the Matched discussion thread.

[Viv]

Read:

[Adriana]

How was it?

[Viv]

It was a really easy read. The main character to me is really relate-able. And the action scenes are really detailed. The book also shows that the author really knows her information when it comes to fencing.

[Adriana]

Oh wow. I didn't look at the summary earlier and now that I see it I kind of want to read it. So randomly cool. There aren't really that many pirate books out there other than the obvious ones.

[Viv]

That's very true. I'm hoping I find some more out there.

[Adriana]

I only know about Peter and the Starcatchers but...

[Adriana]

I just got Steel from my library today <3

[Viv]

Yay! Tell me what you think of it after reading it

[Viv]

Finished reading:

[Adriana]

Where do you find these books! :D CCompund sounds interesting.

I read

[Viv]

I found some of them in my recommendation page. But the compound has a really crazy story line. And it was a first time in a while that I read a book with a male protagonist.

[Adriana]

I don't think I ever think about whether my protagonist is male or female. It must have been awhile!

[Adriana]

This is supposed to be considered a Sci-fi book. It's supernatural... I never expected reading a book about angels but I really liked it. Love Triangle <3

[Viv]

oooh it looks really interesting and there is a love triangle. I love love triangles.

[Adriana]

I loved it! One of the guys and her relationship is so cute! And yes. Love triangles are the best!!

[Adriana]

Another angel book. I didn't read it till now because of the whole angel thing but Unearthly proved me wrong. It was sooo long! It was really worth the read and now I know why people have been raving about it. I don't have to wait that long to read the whole series because the last one is supposed to be coming out soon. *evil grin* suckers!

[Adriana]

Read again because it's awesomeness and a witch book XD

I also read .

[Adriana]

Oh yeah. reading me some Steel right now. So far so good. (:

[Viv]

Tell me how you like it when you're done with the book. :D

[Adriana]

Steel was pretty good. I kind of disliked the whole her feeling pressure thing and wanting to get away. And then she saw that she could have it much worse. It seemed fake, unnatural the way it was put in there. I did like it though. It was so weird reading a pirate book. It was a nice fun read.

[Adriana]

Read The Scorch Trials and FINALLY read The Death cure. Wasn't as satisfying as I hoped but still pretty good.

I can see that too. I guess I liked the book because I can relate to her feeling under pressure in the competitive sports world.

I still need to read the first book. There is a wait at my library for the last book. I'm going to try to get all three at the same time so I can lock myself up in my room and read it all in one go :)

[Adriana]

Did the same thing with the last two. (:

[Viv]

Read:

[Adriana]

oh yeah! fantasticness!!!

[Viv]

YES! you've finished it. So what did you think?

[Adriana]

loved it. better than the first. i still can't decide!!! i have so many scenarios in my head with what's going to happen next. What if the Eye is there with her mother!?

[Viv]

(view spoiler)[ I think so too! I cannot decide between Archer or Cal. I am still rooting for Cal though. as for the Eye, I think they are going to team up with her in some way. I read the synopsis of the next book and there probably is a connection between those Irish sisters and her mother. Her mother might even be one of them O.O I'm just glad it is coming out soon. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

Just read the summary. I don't know how you got that about her mother??? But I think (view spoiler)[she'll be able to get her powers back on her own. Something major might happen to someone she cares about and she freaks out with crazy demon power!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

I still don't understand why she would be one of them. Her mother isn't going to kill her own daughter... I'm confusing myself.

[Viv]

It's okay, I was only trying to guess what was going to happen. But you scenario sounds way more interesting.

[Adriana]

It's probably way off though (:
