Top Ten Tuesday-Favourite SF Books

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/


NB: I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow them to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. 

I wasn't sure which genre to talk about and then decided to go with a change! These are my SF and dystopian selections!

1) Elizabeth Briggs-Future Shock

2) Ernest Cline-Ready Player One

3) Joelle Charbonneau-The Testing

4) Rick Chesler-Luna

5) Suzanne Collins-The Hunger Games

6) Michael Crichton-Jurassic Park

7) Matthew Reilly-Contest

8) Martha Wells-The Murderbot Diaries

9) SM Wilson-The Extinction Trials

10) Ryan Graudin-Wolf By Wolf

Chuckles Cover Love #128-Wolves

If there is one thing that makes a great book even better, it is when it has a cover that we love! The cover design is what catches the eye as we browse through a bookstore shelf or check out the Amazon or Goodreads recommendations. The right cover makes me look closer at a book, to read the blurb and maybe make a purchase. A poor cover might mean I never look at the blurb at all.

NB: I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow them to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account.   

This week I'm taking a look at covers featuring the coolest wolves as I just love this kind of cover.

 

Chuckles Weekend Roundup

Welcome to my feature Chuckles Weekend Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of like The Sunday Post that some of you do! 

Please note that I'll be visiting your STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!

****************

I'm sooo glad to see the end of this week which has been really busy and tiring! Details are on my Chuckles Chuntering post. Basically everything from neck to bum hurts along with right down my arms from shoulders to fingers, plus my knees! I am taking a rest for a week to watch the rest of Game of Thrones for my catchup and a few favourite films to get me in the mood for watching new stuff! I'll be back visiting your blogs and replying to comments on Sunday and Monday and maybe getting a book review or two done. But this coming week will just be relaxing in front of the TV with no computer!

 

No books to add to the list this week as I've been too busy offline to go book buying or looking at what I forgot to add to my Goodreads TBR! Today I'm just doing a quick roundup as to what I've been blogging this week.

 

Chuckles Blogging World 

I was happy to get a lot of mini reviews done which has brought me close to my target of catching up on the book reviews. Another couple of weeks and I'll actually be up to date for the first time ever on the blog! The next task after that is to go through Goodreads and ensure that I get a review done for every book. That should be fun when I have no notes for books I read and DNFed years ago but I'll give it a try!

Films & TV

I continued with my rewatch of seasons two and three of Game of Thrones. It's weird watching it now knowing everyone's fate and the hints are certainly there.

Chuckles Chuntering

It has been another insane busy week here at The Book Cave. I spent all week going through huge piles of newspapers and cutting out all the articles of interest then trimming each one into a smaller version ready for the scrapbooks. Some articles can be long winded so I tend to just keep the interesting bits and discard the rest. I must have cut about 200 papers. It doesn't sound like a hard task but leaning over my footstool to read the articles and cut them, then stretching to the side to drop the discarded pages and papers into the rubbish pile does take a toll on my back! After that we had to get the papers down to the rubbish dump which is always an ordeal! The good thing is that they are done and that is one task for this year completed!

It has been a week of housework as well which I never enjoy. Can I say how much I hate ironing? It is one of those tasks that seem to suck the life out of you! The other thing I finally made myself do was get the mending basket out and finally patch up the various clothes and two housecoats in it. That did nothing for my already sore back I can tell you and it made my fingers cramp! I hate sewing and I'm useless at it but I'm finally caught up with that too. Today it will be dusting mostly which isn't too stressful!

As you guys will have noticed, my book review backlog has been steadily shrinking and I'll be caught up with them AT LAST at some point during this month which will be a relief. I fully intend NOT to get behind like that again as it has been so much work these last six months to get so many written like that. Again though, I'm nearly done with that. Reading has been patchy as I'm persisting with rewatching Game of Thrones on DVD! I've completed season three which is one of my favourites and started season four. After I get the whole thing out of my system I really need to start watching films and other boxsets! 

The weather hasn't really cooperated so no more painting has been done. The forecast for next week doesn't look great so I'll be taking the chance to have a nice rest and chill out! I'll be going offline today after I do my weekend roundup and I'll be back answering your comments and visiting your blogs next weekend I reckon, Monday at the latest. I will be posting my regular posts as normal though. 

Have a good week and I'll see you soon!
