Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, our #ScifiMonth2025 read-along. It’s been wonderful to rediscover it and I’m excited to continue the trilogy in the new year!

#ScifiMonth2015 Day 30: My goal this month was to read Stanislaw Lem's The Invincible. I managed it and....WOW! This is one of the best sci-fi books ever!. And why the heck hasn't it been adapted a million times?!

#SciFiMonth2025 has been a lot of fun! My favorite thing since last week was the Korean Netflix animated sci-fi romance film, #Lost#InStarlight. It was absolutely beautiful. never-anyone-else.blogspot.com/2025/11/scif... @scifimonth.bsky.social #filmsky #booksky #bookblogger

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 29: I like Star Trek Voyager. I think that covers my comfort zone tropes. Competent women, adventure, exploration, camaraderie.

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 28 The Friday five I always take with me, especially going out -- mobile phone, house keys, handkerchief, a story idea, and anxiety at our modern world.

This was my fourth book for #SciFiMonth. Books two and three were one star duds. It was my vintage read and I loved it. I'm glad I have the sequel. It's a duology. 🌌 www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...

This was my first title for #SciFiMonth I have had the ebooks forever from $1.99 sales and decided to start them. After a slow beginning the story blossomed into something wonderful. I am excited to read the next one, but am going to wait until I read the other Sci-Fi books I have on on deck.🚀

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 26: There are so many stories that have tales of not coming back. But the two that immediately came to mind are horror; the movie Pandorum and the game Signalis. Both tales born from one-way trips.

Day 26: no going back - deliberately open to interpretation today, but consider stories about one way trips, exile, getting out of dodge (in any sense), trying to get home or coming to terms with what was left behind…#ScifiMonth2025

Today's Book Quote Wednesday is 'run'. A confrontation arises over whether to continue a dangerous journey, or turn away and face the consequences.

The two nodded and left, but Syndac lingered. She watched as Solet picked up a datapad and began scrolling through a report. Finally he looked at her, giving his weary eyes as much steely command as he could muster. “Is there something else?” “Yes. You’re thinking of quitting.” “Wouldn’t you under the circumstances?” “I suppose. But think about what you are about to give up.” “Yeah. Our ship running out of fuel and being abandoned, and us not getting home. Or worse, running out of fuel and just being left behind by those other vultures we had to partner with. Remember, I agreed to this because it looked like a good deal. If this thing starts getting out of hand—” “Can it!” Syndac leaned forward and slammed both hands on the table as she glared into her captain’s face, her voice switching abruptly from snappish to formal. “I grow sick of your whining. Listen to me. We both knew what this trip might risk, we both did it for one reason and one reason only. Money. With the money we can get from this, we can finally dig ourselves up from this miserable pit of sick that stands in for a career. Sailing a junk around the Outer Worlds, picking up the dirty jobs no one wants to, taking duff deals because they’re the only deals we can take, being outrun and outshone by every other freighter in the whole Cluster!” “I don’t need that kind of talk from you.”

November is a month stuffed full of reading events, and today on the blog I take part in #scifimonth with a classic work from the Strugatskys - "Roadside Picnic". More here! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/11/26/s...
“Suddenly, he seemed to be in another world.” #roadsidepicnic #scifimonth
As if November didn’t have enough reading events on the go, I discovered at a late stage that it was also Sci Fi Month!! Now, I don’t read *huge* amounts of that genre, but I do like cl…

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 25: I'm usually thankful for those bull-headed people who just..forget the stuff we're lumbered with today and see what needs to happen. The cosmopolitan, utilitarian streak of the far future.

Favorite Science Fiction of 2025 So Far #scifimonth2025
We're nearing the end of SciFi Month—how did November fly by so fast?? So it's time to share my favorite science fiction books of the year so far. To be honest, I have not read a lot of SF this year, so this list includes some four star rated books (unusual for my Best Of lists). But I enjoyed all of these and recommend them!

Of course, Present Me has absolutely no idea what other brilliant Sci Fi Future Me will discover in bookstores, libraries, Bluesky, and generally out in the world! I'm sure there will be plenty more. :)

Hit me with your recs. if you're going crazy with anticipation for something!

Platform Decay, the next Murderbot novel by Martha Wells

Since I tend to devour Murderbot as soon as it comes out, it's been a while since I've read the last one!

Cover for Platform Decay by Martha Wells. The image is of a suited astronaut figure holding onto what looks like the outside of a space station, or perhaps a deep inside chasm.

The Faith of Beasts, #2 in the Capitve's war series by James SA Corey

I loved the Expanse, so dived into the first of the series - The Mercy of Gods. It's an engrossing read, despite the fact that I usually don't like too many aliens in the story! Now I'm invested!

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 24: Space horror. I...don't read it much, and I don't write it consciously. So here's one I read, and one I apparently wrote. Although screams are heard in both.
