SCIFI MONTH Update 1


For the first time ever, Chuckles Book Cave is going to be joining in with Scifi month hosted by https://onemore.org/ and https://deargeekplace.com/ , which runs the whole month of November. There will be blog posts, Twitter posts and even a giveaway and I'm pretty excited at taking part this year and reading some SF books and watching SF films hopefully.

Here are most of the unread SF books I have on my shelf and I hope to get to as many as I can. No specific target in mind, just reading fun! A few are rereads so I can refresh my memory as to what happened but most are new to me.

1) Martha Wells-Exit Strategy (currently reading)
2) Amie Kaufman-Illuminae
3) Anne McCaffrey-Dinosaur Planet (read 2.5 star)
4) Anne McCaffrey-The Survivors (read 2 star)
5) Christopher Brookmeyer-Bedlam (DNF) 1 star
6) Ernest Cline-Armada
7) Jeff VanderMeer-Annihilation 
8) Elizabeth Briggs-Future Shock
9) Elizabeth Briggs-Future Threat
10) Elizabeth Briggs-Future Lost
11) Joelle Charbonneau-The Testing
12) Joelle Charbonneau-Independent Study
13) Joelle Charbonneau-Graduation Day
14) Becky Chambers-The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet
15) Nicholas Sansbury Smith-Hell Divers
16) Jules Verne-Journey to the Center of the Earth
17) Andy Weir-The Martian
18) PK Hawkins-Recon Marines
19) Richard Herley-The Penal Colony
20) Kenneth C Johnson-V 
21) Mur Lafferty-Six Wakes

  1. I really want to read Journey to the Center of the Earth at some point. I've heard great things about The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Enjoy your reading!

    1. I feel I probably read it as a kid but want to revisit it and get a review done! Everyone raves about Becky Chambers so I feel compelled to give it a go!

  2. Good luck with your scifi month :-)
    Hell Divers is one that I've seen praised massively on other blogs so I hope it lives up to the hype!

    1. I've been meaning to get to Hell Divers for about two years now as I loved his extinction cycle series!

  3. Bummer the Dinosaur Planet books weren't a little better. Hope you like exit strategy- I just finished that one a few days ago!

  5. Nice start! That's what I love most about Sci-Fi Month - no pressure and no need to stress, just read to have fun :D

    1. Everything else seems to be giving me stress! I'm really tired again this week! I still hope to get a few of these books done this month though!

  6. You have some fun books on your tbr. I'm sorry to see that the ones that you have read so far were a bit dissapointing. :( But I hope that will pick up for you soon!

  7. Good luck with this!

    I don't typically read sci-fi but I have gotten to a few this year.

    I have the next Murderbot on my list and I have the Helldivers series on my Kindle.

    1. Everyone seems to love Murderbot even if Scifi isn't a favourite genre!
