I’m really glad this blog event exists or else I might forget to read enough sci-fi.
Last year during November I read:

During the rest of the year I read:

That’s… not good. Maxine Justice was a re-listen to the audiobook because I knew my husband would like it so we read it together.
Then October came around and the first reminders of sci-fi month came out. I realized that I had hardly read anything and went on a requesting frenzy at the library. Of course they all came in at once. So since the beginning of October I read:

A Rip Through Time was another re-listen with the husband. Then I read Starter Villain on vacation and knew within the first few chapters that he would love that one too. I got a copy of the audiobook that we listened to on our drive back from vacation.
The Kaiju Preservation Society has been on my TBR for a while, I really should get around to it soon 🙂
I’ve just started in on Starter Villain and it’s a lot of fun! Looks like you’ve read some good ones!
Sometimes I forget to read more scifi too. Fantasy does tend to be my easy go to. Even though scifi is really great as well. And woah you read a great amount in October. Thats great. I’ve really enjoyed Aliette de Bodard’s books so far.
