Tags: Sci Fi Month 2016, The Broke and the Bookish, Top Ten Tuesday
Every Tuesday over at the The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic. The topic this week is :
Top Ten Books To Read If Your Book Club Likes ‘X’
And, given that November marks the start of Sci Fi Month 2016 – I’ve gone for sci fi reads. Here’s my top ten (and, yes, there are a lot of good books not on this list but I had a limit!) A mix of classic novels and recent additions to the genre so hopefully something here for all:
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
- Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A Heinlein
- Dune by Frank Herbert
- The Time Machine by H G Wells
- The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
- Red Rising by Pierce Brown
- The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This is just a quick update to make you aware (if you’re not already) of Sci-Fi month 2016. Hosted by Rinnreads and Overtheeffingrainbow since 2013 this is an event that celebrates all things sci-fi.
Details of the event and the sign up page can be found here. Stop on over and check it out – this is a really great event with lots of interaction with other bloggers.
If you’re like me and sci-fi tends to take more of a back seat then this is a great incentive to pick up more books. It’s is a really chilled event – it takes place for the whole month of November and you can pretty much review/blog/chat/tweet/write discussion articles/host giveaways, you name it – you can do it! And, as much participation or as little as you want. Plus twitter
Come join the fun.
