#SciFiMonth2023 – Sunday Subgenre: SciFantasy

November 5, 2023 by Mackenzie 4 Comments

Happy Sunday everyone! During SciFi Month, Sundays are all about different subgenres of science fiction. Today we have my FAVORITE, which is SciFantasy aka science fantasy. My two favorite genres mashed into one!! I’ve actually talked about this subgenre before, on an installment of The Happy Place 5. All of the ones I included in that post I’ve put here, with a few more!

#SciFiMonth2023 – Best Laid Plans (SciFi Month TBR)

November 1, 2023 by Mackenzie 12 Comments

Happy November friends! And welcome to another edition of #SciFiMonth, which is run by imyril (There’s Always Room For One More), Lisa (Dear Geek Place), Annemieke (A Dance With Books), and Mayri (BookForager). If you want to know more about it, check out imyril’s intro post here! I’ve “taken part” in SciFi Month the past two years, but I put that in quotes because I think both years I only posted one or two posts during the whole month haha. Maybe this time it sticks?? Stay tuned to see how I do. But anyway, as always, the first post of the month is your SciFi Month TBR. I’m going to highlight a few books that I definitely want to read. And then I’ll also mention some others on my TBR that I’m excited for! Also – if you saw any of these on my TBR in years past….NO YOU DIDN’T.

The Blighted Stars

September 19, 2023 by Mackenzie 8 Comments

Thank you to Orbit Books for sending me a finished copy of this for review! This does not affect my review, all thoughts here are my own honest opinions.

Okay the fact that this book only has 1014 ratings and 248 reviews on Goodreads is a CRIME!!! A crime I tell you! Because this book whips ass. It’s an incredible start to a sci-fi trilogy that has elements of horror (in a creepy, survival way, not a scary way) and dystopian fiction (in a corporations controlling society way). It starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up the whole time. Also, the casual queerness is a wonderful thing to see!

Mackenzie’s Auto-Buy Authors!

March 24, 2023 by Mackenzie 7 Comments

Recently I featured Nicole’s post about her auto-buy authors in this blogger appreciation post. After reading her post, I felt inspired to write my own! But also Nicole convinced me to do it hahahah. I think you all will be able to guess a few of the authors on my list. As Nicole said in her post, auto-buy for me doesn’t necessarily mean I will purchase all of their books, since that’s dependent on my personal finances. However I will always read any book from these authors!! And If I have the money, then I’ll buy their books.

I’m also going to list a handful of authors that I think could become auto-buy authors, but at this point I’ve only read one of their books. So they’re on my “potential” list! I’ll definitely be picking up their future books since I loved the one of theirs I read so much.

Hi friends! Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Rewind, so I chose to go back to the old topic of Cozy Reads! I’ve been really enjoying the rise of cozy fantasy and sci-fi books lately. I mean, they’ve always been around, but they seem to be getting more attention lately. So I wanted to share some with you all!

Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting/organizing Top Ten Tuesday! Find my past Top Ten Tuesday posts here.
