I love finding new favorite authors, and this year I was happy to discover eight new to me authors who really impressed me. I’m defining “new to me” as an author who has already published two or more books when I discovered them (none of these are debut authors, in other words). I’ll definitely be […]
In many ways, 2020 has been the ultimate apocalyptic year, so it’s no surprise that I read quite a few books that put a dire spin on our future. I’ve always been drawn to the dystopian/apocalyptic genre anyway, and the dumpster fire that has been 2020 didn’t stop me from seeking out these types of […]
Today’s “list” is just for fun! I’ve done a couple of posts that focus on certain key words in book titles, and I had so much fun with those, I decided I needed to do one for SciFiMonth as well! I did a quick search for the word “star” and discovered it’s a very popular […]
Last week I brought you 14 Adult Science Fiction Books to Read in 2021, and this week it’s time for YA! YA sci-fi is tough, guys. There are a ton of YA contemporary, mystery and fantasy out there, but not a whole lot of SF. I’ve scoured lists and Goodreads and come up with twelve […]
Every November for SciFiMonth, for the past three or four years, I think, I’ve posted lists of upcoming SF books to watch out for, and these lists are pretty popular, even months after SciFiMonth is over. Last year’s YA list is still getting hits on my blog every single day, which cracks me up for […]
This year I’ve decided to do my “Most Anticipated” lists a little differently. In the past, I’ve followed the Top Ten Tuesday format of seasonal TBRs (winter, spring, summer, fall), but I like the idea of cleaner, more symmetrical quarterly lists, dividing the year into four neat segments. I’ve seen other bloggers use this format […]
After having a blast with a color Top Ten Tuesday prompt a couple of weeks ago (Books with the word “Black” in the Title), I decided to see what other common words popped up in the books I’ve either read or talked about on this blog, and I’m sure you’re not surprised that the words […]

My blogging platform is all about books and authors, and I never venture into the murky waters of current events or politics on this blog. But in light of the despicable recent events in this country, I felt the need to do something. I’m not the type to go to protests or shout out on […]
Wyrd & Wonder is headed into the final stretch, but before it’s over, I wanted to shine a light on the best fantasy books I’ve read so far this year. This is a mix of five and four-and-a-half star reads, and even though we’re not even halfway through 2020, I can already tell that the […]
