Favorite Science Fiction of 2025 So Far #scifimonth2025

We're nearing the end of SciFi Month—how did November fly by so fast?? So it's time to share my favorite science fiction books of the year so far. To be honest, I have not read a lot of SF this year, so this list includes some four star rated…

Radiant Star by Ann Leckie

(3/3)
Radiant Star by Ann Leckie - Standalone Imperial Radch novel

it's a great universe, and I can't wait to see what we have in store from Leckie!

The Faith of Beasts by James S. A. Corey

(2/3)
The Faith of Beasts, #2 in the Capitve's war series by James SA Corey

I loved the Expanse, so dived into the first of the series - The Mercy of Gods. It's an engrossing read, despite the fact that I usually don't like too many aliens in the story! Now I'm invested!

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 24: Space horror. I...don't read it much, and I don't write it consciously. So here's one I read, and one I apparently wrote. Although screams are heard in both.

Day 24: no-one can hear you scream - a day late, we’re boosting your favourite SF horror #ScifiMonth2025

Tall shelves in wall full of books

Day 22 of #SciFiMonth and I'm a little late to the party, but I could not resist the prompt to show my bookshelves! Also since my TBRs are scattered amongst them. They have a bunch of mixed genres, but it is what it is (1/7)

Ancillary Justice: week three We got a big plot reveal and a devastating development at the start of this week, which puts Breq's actions in clear context. With Seivarden stepping out of her sulk to start developing as a character, there's lots building up as we approach next week's climax. Read on for discussion, expect spoilers!

We got a big plot reveal and a devastating development at the start of this week, which means it's spoilers all the way down as I discuss week 3 of Ancillary Justice #ScifiMonth2025

My favorite thing during the 3rd week of #SciFiMonth2025 was Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games #0.5) by Suzanne Collins. I was absolutely traumatized, but it's one of my favorites of the series. I can't wait to see the movie! never-anyone-else.blogspot.com/2025/11/scif... #booksky #filmsky

#SciFiMonth 2025: short reviews of two classics Here are a couple of wonderful scifi classics I just read for #scifimonth 2025. They would both deserve a long and detailed review, but many have done that before me, and in a fabulous way, so I&#8…

Book review: Artificial Wisdom MY VERDICT: A gripping sci-fi thriller asking urgent questions for our world challenged with climate evolution, deepfakes, and the place of AI.

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 21: One of the best time travel methods I've met was used in two different pieces of media; James Hogan's Thrice Upon A Time and Mage's Steins;Gate. Sending a message to change events, sometimes dramatically.
#scifibooks #scifimonth #BookSky💙📚

Yes I got the Friday Fives mixed up when I did the graphic shhh it’ll all come out in the wash in the end

Day 21: grab your TARDIS today is all about interesting ways to travel #ScifiMonth2025

I completed Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, via excellent audiobooks narrated by Jonathan Davis. So now I can join the thousands of fans re-reading and trying to figure out what it all means.

Friday Fives #scifimonth2025 – Interesting Ways to Travel

It's time for another Friday Fives post, in celebration of #scifimonth2025! Today's theme is Interesting Ways To Travel, and I've decided that time travel is super interesting, so I've found five recent books I've read that have time travel…

#scifimonth #scifimonth2025 #scifi
Nov 21 prompt: interesting way to travel
In The Other World: Comical History of the States and Empires of the #Moon (by #French author in 1657), the guy gets to the Moon by attaching bottles of dew to his body to float upwards. Inspired #ramjet

#ScifiMonth2025 Day 20 (just in time): Since I've already dunked on Avatar, I'll give two...opinions; the rogue AI/VI/SI has been done to death and we should stop calling them AIs, and the Aeon Flux movie is actually one of the best mid-tier sci-fi stories of the 2000s.

Peacemaker (Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #21) by James Swallow book cover

Happy Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings)! In honor of #SciFiMonth2025, today I'm featuring Peacemaker (Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #21) by James Swallow. #BookSky #BookBlogger @scifimonth.bsky.social never-anyone-else.blogspot.com/2025/11/sci-...

The Book Terminal Boredom by Izumi Suzuki. The cover shows the author - a Japanese woman in her 20s/30s at the time of the photograph, with her hands sprawled across a flat surface, looking up at the camera, her face framed by a tangled volume of hair

Inside cover of Terminal Boredom with the following text: Seven punky and pitch-black stories offer English-language readers an overdue introduction to Izumi Suzuki, a cult figure in Japanese literature. The fissures in a queer matriarchal utopia are exposed when a boy – a creature usually contained in ghettoised isolation – appears beneath young Yūko’s window; an extreme government initiative curbing overpopulation prompts a woman to re-evaluate her friendships; the last family in a desolate city learns to be human through the awkward appropriation of popular culture; passive-aggressive furniture provides unwelcome romantic advice; tense interplanetary politics distort Emma’s love life; Jane’s ex-girlfriend reappears, radically altered and insistent on a catch-up; Tokyo’s teenagers, disaffected and numb from excessive screen-time, find distraction in violence. Suzuki’s singular slant on science fiction remains fresh and essential. Concerns about technology, gender and imperialism dovetail irresistibly with flights of speculative wonder. And with a kitchen sink in the corner of even her wildest stories, Suzuki reminds us that while technology may be limitless, relationships remain impossible.

…but I’d love to draw attention to Terminal Boredom, a collection of stories by Izumi Suzuki. These felt fresh and relevant despite being >30 years old. The style and affect very distinct from most regular genre fare.

Day 19 of #SciFiMonth and the prompt is #UniversalTranslator

This made me realise how little translated SF I’ve read and I’m on the lookout to fill this gap!

Most people will know Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu, and Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky..(1/2)

Instantly intrigued. We love everything about this pitch
