Reindeer Readathon - Announcement & TBR

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my TBR for the Reindeer Readathon which will run for the entire month of December.  It is hosted by Breakeven Books  with some help from Steff , Noelle , Savy , and Amanda  as the other team leaders.  I am officially a member of the Snowflake Team which is Noelle (noelle7pages).  You can also check out the official Twitter account here .  I saw this readathon last year and it looked like fun, so I thought I'd give it a try this time around.  Without further ado, let's get to the prompts: DASHER - 10 PTS - A short story (or collection) or novella My choice: My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon edited by P.N.

DANCER - 15 PTS - A book by one of your favorite authors (rereads count too) My choice: Battle Ground ( The Dresden Files #17) b...

  Happy Music Monday everyone!  Today, in honor of  Sci-Fi Month 2021  (Image credit: Photo by  Liu Zishan  on  123RF.com  with a quote from  Babylon's Ashes  by James S.A. Corey), I'm sharing some sci-fi inspired music. Rules: Every Monday share a few songs you've been enjoying lately.  It doesn't have to be a specific genre, new, or one of your favorites - just something you'd like to share with others.  If possible, share a music or lyric video of the song and your thoughts on the song(s), artist(s), and/or music video(s). If you would like to participate in Music Monday, please join the link up by sharing your post's url. This week I'm featuring a couple of cyberpunk synthwave mixes I've been enjoying.  I don't know about you, but to me this genre and music style go together very well.  Give a listen to The Upside of Dystopia and  Neo Tokyo : You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by  Freda's Voice , and Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader .  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.  Happy Friday everyone!  In honor of  Sci-Fi Month 2021  (Image credit: Photo by  Liu Zishan  on  123RF.com  with a quote from  Babylon's Ashes  by James S.A.

  Happy Thursday everyone!  In honor of  Sci-Fi Month 2021  (Image credit: Photo by  Liu Zishan  on  123RF.com  with a quote from  Babylon's Ashes  by James S.A. Corey), I'm taking part in the  Sci-Fi Month Challenge  and I'm sharing Well-Matured #ThrowbackThursday (at least 30 years old).  My picks down below are three favorite sci-fi novels released in 1991 or before.  These are books that I hardly ever talk about and I thought I'd finally spotlight how much I enjoyed them.  Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order: Annals of the Time Patrol ( Time Patrol #1-2 Omnibus) by Poul Anderson - This two book omnibus was released in 1983, but two novels it includes are put together from stories the author wrote from the 1950s through the 1970s.  I had never read this author before, but I really got a kick out of his take on time travel.  It's like an awesome combination of Doctor Who a...

Corey), I'm featuring Books To Read If You Loved Timeless .   Timeless was a recent favorite sci-fi time travel series that I really miss.  I wish it was still on, but at least what we got of it wrapped up well.  All of the books I've picked this week, remind me of that tv series and I can't recommend them enough for its fans.  Here we go, in alphabetical order by title: All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill Annals of the Time Patrol by Poul Anderson Doomsday Book ( Oxford Time Travel #1) by Connie Willis The Fold ( Threshold #2)   by Peter Clines Future Shock by Elizabeth Briggs The Girl from Everywhere  ( The Girl from Everywhere  #1)   by Heidi Heilig Here a...
