14 Sci-Fi Books I Read Since #SciFiMonth 2020 with Quotes | #TopTenTuesday 311

Yes hello and welcome to the first combo of Top Ten Tuesday with Sci-Fi Month this year for the rest of the month. As every year I am participating in sci-fi month as I declared yesterday. Instead of doing rec books for those that say they don’t like to read, I want to take a look at some of the sci-fi books I read since I last summed up some sci-fi books I read.

So let us go and portal into it.

A Strange and Brilliant Light by Eli Lee
