Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl .  This week I'm doing something a bit different for  Sci-Fi Month 2019  (Image credit: Photo by  Sebastien Decoret  on  123RF.com  with a quote from  This Is How You Lose The Time War  by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone).  In the spirit of the month, I'm sharing my top ten Classic Sci-Fi Books I Need To Read.  Somehow I've missed out on these so far and one of these days, I need to finally see what the big deal is about all of them once and for all.  Here we go, in alphabetical order by title: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?  by Philip K.

On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by  Freda's Voice , Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader , and 50/50 Friday is a new weekly link up and it is hosted by  Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader  and  Laura @ Blue Eye Books . 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. Then, for 50/50 Friday, every week there's a new topic featuring two sides of the same coin - you share a book that suits each category and link up on the hosts blogs. This week I'm spo...

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I'm featuring a book tag called 5 Star Books In 5 Words which sounds really fun, especially with a special Sci-Fi Month twist (Image credit: Photo by  Sebastien Decoret  on  123RF.com  with a quote from  This Is How You Lose The Time War  by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone).  I was tagged by Ronnie @ Paradise Found  and the tag was originally created by Matthew Sciarappa .  Thanks for tagging me, Ronnie! The Rules: 1. Choose 5 books that you gave 5 stars (sci-fi books in this case) 2. Share 5 words that in some way describe why you liked it so much. 3. Give no other explanations of those words. Some of the words may only make sense if you've read it yourself.
