This month was #SciFiMonth, something I've been looking forward to for weeks! I've beens squirreling away some backlist reads for this occasion and was determined to make this month as ARC-free as possible. I did surprisingly well, though now I have a stack of (amazing) ARCs in front of me to tackle before the year... Continue Reading →
Confession time: I have in my possession all 54 books of the ANIMORPHS series by K.A. Applegate, in addition to ancillary materials including THE ANDALITE CHRONICLES, two Choose Your Own Adventure-style books, and a handful of super-sized MEGAMORPHS.

This week I'm doing a freebie topic for Top Five Tuesday and talking about my favorite AI in sci-fi books!

I've noticed recently as I've perused my shelves that the YA space is surprisingly light on science-fiction. YA skews heavily in favor of magic and dragons and medieval settings (all of which I love) but space ships and robots are few and far between! So today, I'm rounding up some of my favorite YA sci-fi... Continue Reading →
Last year during #SciFiMonth, I wrote about a trope that is near and dear to my heart, spaceship crews that double as found families. I love when misfits come together, when they bicker like there's no tomorrow, while simultaneously putting their lives on the line for each other without hesitation. So it should come as...
