November 15, 2016 by Sana 12 Comments

I haven’t been a big movie watcher lately proven by the fact that I’ve watched a whopping total of 8 movies this year (which is nothing compared to previous years when I used to easily watch 50+ movies in a year). Still, I’m always excited for sci-fi movies and here’s a whole list of them.

This week’s top ten Tuesday topic is essentially about books that have been recently added to the TBR list and well, seeing as how I’ve added books up to 2020 to my TBR, this spin on it totally works. Also, because it’s sci-fi month. I tried to pick more underrated books/authors and looking over the list, I guess I partly succeeded? The excitement’s very real at least.

Launching Sci-Fi Month

November 2, 2016 by Sana 17 Comments

Another year, another sci-fi month hosted by Rinn. This is my fourth year of participating in the event and I’m a day late with the introductory post but hey, at least it’s here. I remember I couldn’t participate to the extent that I wanted to last year so this year, I’m definitely making up for the slack.

Science Fiction in YA

November 29, 2015 by Sana 9 Comments

Science fiction is important simply because it makes us question society much more than any other genre. It not only explores science in all its glory and ugliness, but also compels the reader to think about something in a new way. It appeals to the sense of wonder. It asks insightful questions and poses implications of societal practices in a complex setting that is akin to our present world and so allows us to see ourselves objectively.

Science fiction matters because even in the most screwed up of all screwed up science fiction worlds, it all boils down to human emotion.

It is a vast genre with dozens of sub-genres and themes which when combined with other genres is pretty much a self-supporting entity. There are no limits as to what a single science fiction story can constitute to as long as there’s a willingness to suspend belief on the reader’s behalf.

YA science fiction isn’t as all-encompassing as adult science fiction but hey, it’s getting there which is amazing because what we’ll always need more of is science fiction (and just for the hell of it, fantasy). No other genre is going to help us in case of a zombie apocalypse, anyway.

Sci-Fi Month is Now in Orbit

November 2, 2015 by Sana 13 Comments

This is my third year of taking part in Sci-Fi Month that Rinn has been hosting since 2013 and it’s always fun to be a part of it regardless of how much I suck at sticking to my to-read and to-watch lists.

As in the past, I don’t have super ambitious goals in regards to blogging because of how I am as a person.

Sci-Fi on the Screen

I’m planning to watch more TV shows than movies this month and since I regularly watch Arrow, The Flash and Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D., what’s a couple more.

Jessica Jones – I’m super excited for the upcoming Marvel’s Jessica Jones! It’s a sci-fi crime drama releasing on November 20th on Netflix. Netflix have some really amazing shows so I’m sure this will be great, too.
Daredevil  – I watched the pilot of Marvel’s Daredevil a couple of months ago and I really want to continue watching it this month. There’s also a Daredevil-Jessica Jones crossover in the works so that’s also a motivating factor. However, I don’t know when exactly that’s slated to occur.
Doctor Who – I will be continuing watching it as it’s about time!
The X-Files – I’ve been a spectacular watcher of this show as I’ve only managed to watch two episodes out of 200+ so I’ll give this a try. Again.

I have no idea what sci-fi movies I’ll be watching but I do want to rewatch Inception because I only ever watched it once in a cinema.

Sci-Fi on the Page

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer – I was browsing through my old sci-fi month posts and it’s a little sad that I was planning to read The Lunar Chronicles last year and failed to. It’s alright though, because Winter is finally releasing and I just really want to read that book the most. So yes, I’m definitely going to read the series this month!

Insignia by S.J. Kincaid – Crini recommended it to me a while ago and I only just bought it yesterday since it’s a Kindle deal.

Lock In by John Scalzi – I started this only yesterday and it’s such a classy combination of murder mystery and androids. Really enjoying it!

Planetfall by Emma Newman – I have no idea what’s this book is about except that colonization is involved. When it comes to books, I sometimes love going in blind.

I do have some other sci-fi books in mind but it all depends on my mood reading tendencies.

Sci-Fi on the Blog

I’ve been an unmotivated blogger for most of 2015 but, I do have some ideas that I want to write posts about. To list a few:

– Science fiction in YA which will be an introduction post of sorts.
– A post about books set in space because they’re my favorite.
– Sci-fi titles are some authors working on.
– A flowchart like I did one before for a top ten Tuesday post.

Are you taking part in Sci-Fi Month? Do you like sci-fi? Recommend me something!
