What’s On My Plate – November 2024 – Welcome to Sci Fi Month!

Art by Sxwx

I always look forward to November, because it’s Sci Fi Month! If you aren’t familiar with this fun event, click on the banner above to learn more. This is a month long celebration of all thing science fiction, and there’s all sorts of fun going on. I have an ambitious reading plan, and I’ll probably do some lists as well.

Huge thanks to the hosts of this event for all their hard work: imyril of There’s Always Room for One More, Annemieke of A Dance With Books, Mayri the BookForager,  and Lisa of Dear Geek Place!

#SciFiMonth reading plans:

Lots of series books in this pile!

This TBR is a mix of old and new review books. The Relentless Legion by J.S. Dewes is the final book in The Divide series. I’m not sure I remember much about the last book, unfortunately, since it’s been over three years since I read it. But I certainly don’t have time to do rereads, so hopefully it will be easy to dive back in.

Ardent Violet and the Infinite Eye by Alex White is a December release, but I just have to include it in Sci Fi Month, since it’s a fantastic series. I cannot wait to be back in White’s crazy world!

Dark Space by Rob Hart & Alex Segura is a leftover review book from October, but I don’t feel bad because it fits into Sci Fi Month perfectly:-)

Broken Stars by Jeremy Szal is a collection of short stories. Not my usual read, but I had to accept this for review because I love the author’s work so much.

And finally, something I’ve tried to do in the past but was never able to pull off: I’d love to catch up with Cat Rambo’s Disco Space Opera series and read the last two books (yes I am behind!): Devil’s Gun and Rumor Has It. Let’s see if I can do it!

Other Sci Fi Month posts:

Hopefully I can throw together a few lists and maybe even some book tags. Look for a Science Fiction Books to Read in 2025 list for sure, and I may do a Best Sci Fi of 2024 So Far (although to be honest, I have not read as much SF this year as I usually do).

Non SF books planned for November:

Of course I have a handful of other genres that I’d like to read this month. I’ve been hearing good things about The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong, and I do hope I can find time to read this.

I’m also excited to read the final book in Susan Dennard’s series The Luminaries. I don’t read a lot of YA series, but this is one I’m on top of, so I will definitely be reading The Whispering Night!

I’ve already read Grimm Curiosities by Sharon Lynn Fisher (look for my review next week), and I loved it! This is an atmospheric, historical fantasy with a great plot and interesting characters. Also there’s a romance which is nicely integrated into the plot.

Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley is the start of a new fantasy/romance series that involves the fae. It sounds really good and I hope I can fit it in.

For a change of pace, Snow Drowned by Jennifer D. Lyle is a YA horror story that’s getting solid reviews so far, and I’m very curious about it.

The Swarm by Andy Marino is a the apocalypse in the form of swarms of insects. I’m not a big bug fan, but I am intrigued by this book.

We Shall Be Monsters by Alyssa Wees is a book I picked up at Comic Con, so it’s not technically a review book. But I would like to read it.


And those are my plans for the month! Let me know if you’ve read any of these books, and I’d love to know if you’re participating in Sci Fi Month:-D
