#SciFiMonth – My Favorite Sci-Fi Novellas!

November 29, 2021 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

So, I admit defeat. I have miserably failed at #SciFiMonth. Sometimes I get in blogging and reading ruts, and turns out the most of November was a rut for me. My philosophy is to not force myself to read or blog during those times, since I don’t want either to feel like a chore. So I spent time playing video games, watching tv, and hanging out with my family. But I wanted to squeeze in one more post before the month ends! I saw that the SciFiMonth Twitter had posted about a post that Laura made about sci-fi novellas, so that sparked my motivation a bit and here I am doing the same! So thank you Laura for the inspo.

#SciFiMonth – Rated Fresh! (a.k.a. Throwback Thursday)

November 4, 2021 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

Did you know that November is #SciFiMonth? Well now you do. It is hosted by Lisa at Dear Geek Place and Imyril at There’s Always Room for One More. You can find Imyril’s welcome post here, and Lisa’s welcome post here. I’ve seen posts on Twitter, and I know my friend Crini is participating, so I said what the heck. Why not ? So this is me joining in the fun. There is a list of prompts here, if you need some inspiration, but you can also post whatever you like.

Today I’m going with the daily prompt from the prompt list, which is about sci-fi books published more than 2 years ago. It’s very hard to cut down a list and not list every book ever lol. But I restrained myself, and managed to keep this to 10 books that I’ve read and loved, and 10 books that are on my TBR.

Looking Back at October 2021

November 2, 2021 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

Ah yes, once again the steady march of time somehow comes to bite me in the ass and surprise me. I don’t know how that happens every month. You’d think I would know better by now. ANYWAY. I read 13 books this month! Half were sci-fi/fantasy, and the other half were romcoms haha. I just needed some light happiness in my life, yknow? I also wrote some fun posts that I’ll wrap up for you, in case you missed them.

Also, wanna hear a random thing that happened? I had a tweet go viral. Yeah. It was very weird haha. I thought it was very normal, just a photo of my library!! But here it is if you want to see it lol.

How I Choose My Books Book Tag!

October 15, 2021 by Mackenzie 9 Comments

I haven’t done a book tag in a while and I like the creative questions that people come up with! Other people are much more creative than I am LOL. Anyways I saw Meghan @ Whimsically Meghan do this one, and I really loved the questions so I thought I would do it myself! It’s all about discussing why you pick up the books that you do. Here’s a preview of some of the books that I chose for the prompts:

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Book Settings

October 12, 2021 by Mackenzie 17 Comments

Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting/organizing Top Ten Tuesday!

I think I’ve done a similar topic before, but it was actually like two years ago?? Which is weird. But anyway, world-building/settings is one of my favorite aspects of books. I mean, I read to escape the real world! So I love going to wild and wonderful places in my reads. There are so many great settings, but here are just ten books with ones that I love. I won’t summarize the books, I’ll just talk a little bit about the different settings. But of course I’ll link the Goodreads pages so you can check them out yourself!
