While science fiction and some fantasy is largely my wheelhouse, I cut my teeth on a wide range of books. Granted, I took only the SF/Fantasy stuff to school to read between classes but at home I had access to … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 19: Your Favorite Romance Novel

There was a time where I was frustrated by the types of books that were coming out in an area I was interested in that I just took a pass on it all for awhile. I used this time to … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 18: Favorite Book By Your Favorite Dead Author

Adaptations of books into film and TV is always a dicey thing but it has felt like things have gotten better and fans of the source material are allowing for a bit more freedom when it comes to adapting things, … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 17: The Book/Series You Want To See Adapted

While I do tend to read science fiction more than anything else these days, largely because I spent my formative years reading a whole host of things and now just focus on what I want to read, I don’t read … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 16: Your Favorite Crime Fiction Novel/Series/Writer

With this question, we’re going to split it into a few areas so people aren’t quite as narrowly focused or stressed in trying to come up with that single top-tier favorite. I grew up on science fiction, being a seven-year-old … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 15: Your Favorite Science Fiction Series

Oh, what a frustrating question this one is. I grew up on Dungeons & Dragons so I’ve read a lot of those early novels when the first Weis & Hickman books arrived and so forth. I spent years reading Myth books … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 14: Your Favorite Fantasy Series

It’s not quite the argument that it once was, thankfully, as people have found a lot of different ways to enjoy reading over the past decade. I was always a bit amused because I had latched onto e-readers early on … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 13: Print, Digital, Or Both?

This may be an easy one but it’s one we can get out of the way to focus on others. I’ll admit that I read them because I was curious about all the buzz and because there were films coming … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 12: A Popular Book You Hate

Unpopularity is a strange thing when it comes to media because there’s bad and then there’s bad that does well. It’s easy to point to the Twilight series as something of this nature but there are books that we love for all … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 11: An Unpopular Book You Love

As we get further into this challenge, we want to know what you’re reading right now. Well, not this very second, but the book that you’re currently reading and why you’re drawn to it. Some of you may be reading … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 10: What You’re Currently Reading

You can swap part of this out for best friend if that works better, but there are meaningful people that come into our lives and they invariably introduce us to new things. If you’re a reader, you’re likely connecting with … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 9: Favorite Book Your Significant Other Introduced You To

While The Martian in both book and feature film form get a lot of attention, I continue to pin for a Mars trilogy adaptation. The three-novel series from Kim Stanley Robinson landed in the 90s and was a fascinating generational look at … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 8: A Series Everyone Should Read

The latest challenge in our 30-day book challenge turns our focus toward audiobooks! I have to admit completely and upfront that audiobooks are not my thing. I’ve never listened to any as there hasn’t been much in the way of … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 7: Your Favorite Audiobook

Books can break your heart in many ways. A tragedy within, a doomed romance, a death toward the end that just weighs on you. When you have that moment, that beautifully terrible moment, where you turn the last page and … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 6: A Book That Broke Your Heart

Oh, how I hate this particular entry. I’m not a fan of “classics” in a sense because growing up in school you get fed this selection of “classics” whose importance I understand but there was a lack of awareness in … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 5: Your Favorite Classic Novel

This one took me a minute to really sit down and think about because so much of what I remember about reading is from my teenage years as those books launched me into a million franchises that are often still … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 4: Your Favorite Childhood Book

Growing up in the 70s and coming of age in the 80s, I was big into Dungeons & Dragons. I almost purchased that game when it was just in its ziploc baggie form but ended up with the original purple … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 3: The Book You Couldn’t Finish For The Life Of You

We all have favorite writers but we also know that their best books aren’t always the ones that you want someone to read as their first thing. Sometimes because it’s part of a larger series of works, sometimes because you … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge Day 2: The Book You Recommend From Your Favorite Writer
