On the day that I am writing this I think I’ve read around 12 sci-fi books in 2021. Which sounds decent until you put it again the 100+ books I’ve read. Fantasy is always going to be my go to genre. It is where I feel most comfortable. But I think that I do need to give sci-fi a bigger chance. I do tend to like what I do pick up and it has some of my favorite authors like Becky Chambers and Martha Wells. So there is that.
For that reason I am siging up with the SpaceTime Reading Challenge in 2022. It is being hosted by Jemima Pett. Click the link to go to the sign-up post. But the basics are simple.
- Read any book that is sci-fi or fits in the time travel genres.
- Non-Fiction doesn’t count.
- Make a goal post
- Novella’s can count if they are over 100+ pages
Goal
So there are 4 levels. Planet Hopper (5 books), Interstellar Explorer (10 Books), Galactic Navigator (20 books) and To Infinity and Beyond (40 books).
I will be going for level 3 Galactic Navigator, but if it goes well I’d like to up it To Infinity and Beyond. But we shall see. I was very ambitious last year and we all know how that worked out in the end. A quick count tells me I have about 15-20 physical sci-fi books and I will probably add more in 2022 so I should be fine that way in being able to hit the numbers.
A Dance With Books 
Good luck! 🏆
I don’t read as much SciFi as I should seeing it’s my favorite genre, but I think the reason is because I’m pickier about my Science Fiction. Ha ha. 🚀

I totally get it. I am picky about it too but sometimes I also need to step out of my comfort zone.

I hardly ever read SciFi. I really should start! I tend to pick up fantasy instead. 😏

Haha that sounds familiar.

Do start! I used to read more fantasy than scifi, but these days it’s reversed. I think the line between the two has hardened. Besides, I write more scifi than fantasy 🙂

I’m glad you found Spacetimereads! I’m a fan of Becky Chambers too. Must check out Martha Wells. And I only crept to Interstellar Explorer this year, again…I would need to include non-fiction to do more, but I don’t think that’s right for a reading challenge 🙂
Good luck with 2022!

I really want to read more sci-fi, too. Though lately it has been hard for me to tell the difference between sci-fi and horror, and I really don’t like horror, so that’s probably part of why I’ve been reading less sci-fi than I want to. (Though there are some series I know are not on the horror-side which I just haven’t read yet, so I guess I have no excuse after all.)

There have been a lot of more cross overs true. At least those that have been recommended lately.

Yup, it could just be the ones I’m seeing. I want to make a point to seek out the non-horror sci-fi this year.

Hi Nicole – I run the spacetimereads challenge. I don’t like horror! There’s lots of scifi which doesn’t involve horror, or spacewars (although there is a lot that does!). Come along and join in – you can always ask for recommendations (or check my scifi shelf on goodreads) 🙂

Oh, that’s great to know, thanks!
