Blasting Off for SciFiMonth 2023!
And just like that, November is upon us again, which means so is Sci-Fi Month! As you’ve no doubt already noticed, coverage has already started and in full swing. In 2023, the event is entering its 11th year, this time hosted by imyril of There’s Always Room For One More, Lisa of Dear Geek Place, and also welcoming aboard Annemieke of A Dance With Books and Mayri the BookForager.
The BiblioSanctum will be joining other bloggers, authors, and readers in a month-long celebration of everything science fiction, but that doesn’t mean you will stop seeing other genres covered here as well. In fact, my sci-fi reading list is decidedly lighter than previous Novembers, as there just doesn’t seem to be as many releases on my radar this year. Still, here’s some of what I’m hoping I’ll be able to cover, and it involves a mix of a highly anticipated new releases as well as titles that came out earlier in the year:
The organizers have also arranged for some pretty exciting features like giveaways, readalongs, and a whole lot of other fun activities if you are in need of some inspiration. So if this is something you’re interested in taking part of, head on over to the sign up.
Also, the great thing about Sci-Fi Month is that it’s a casual, low-pressure event. It has no deadlines, no specific challenges or quotas to meet–just a month of fun to enjoy, discuss, and share everything science fiction. Sci-Fi Month is whatever you make it, and you are welcome to join anytime.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a banner (the graphics are really on point this year!) and come explore the wonders of science fiction with us! And if you’re taking part in Sci-Fi Month, what are you plans this year?

November. Incredible. Where has this year gone?
Have fun with SFMonth, I thought the graphics were wicked cool this time around too.

I just posted my review for These Burning Stars, so at least I’m off to a good start with sci-fi, even though I have a ton of other genres to read this month too!

I love how your ‘light list’ is still more books than I’d manage in two months, usually 🙂 Happy reading!

Haha I might have put on more books than I know I can finish or want to read. It’s nice to have a bigger pool to choose from though 🙂

Ooo… Defiant is coming out?? I need to get hold of that one, as I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the series. I’ve reading far more fantasy this year, so I ought to balance it out a bit more!

Yes! At long last! Not sure if it will also release in the UK the same week, but even if not, still it’s not far behind!

I wish I was taking part but I’m so unorganised and still playing catch up. Hope you have a lovely time and – well, there’s always next year for me to get my act together.

Ahhhh we totally missed your posts so far – the fragmentation of social media has made us super reliant on the hashtags and master schedule this year, so I’m afraid we’ve been missing a heap 😦 I’ve added your links so far to the schedule today and we’ll get them into this/next week’s logs to share with the crew although I can see some of them found your posts before we did, heh.
The Archive Undying and These Burning Stars are both blazing a trail up my TBR and I’m going to have to add Whalefall, that sounds really intriguing…
