11/2/2021 Sci-Fi Stories: do you read them? Futuristic? Machine? Space Opera? Sci-Fi Romances?
I do like sci-fi, but I do not read a lot.
* I do. NOT like tech heavy books, they are too much for me
* I DO like romance, wohoo
* Space opera is good, cos bring it.
* I have actually liked some machine ones, so yes everything works if it is really good. Still tech is boring
If we compare to movies, I will rather watch Star gate than Star Trek. I like new worlds, drama and action. Ships are kind of meh

I completely agree with you on this one
ReplyDeleteI kind of still need romance in my sci-fi to keep me interested lol But i have been reading more of it.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
The more romance the better..no, scratch that, not too much
DeleteI can read some like cyborgs and such. It's not the usual genre I read though.
ReplyDeleteThat might just be too much for me, lol
DeleteTech is boring to me too, and I'll read all of these if there's a bit of romance. :)
ReplyDeleteRomance is never wrong :D
DeleteI like all of these things as long as they don't get too bogged down with details.
ReplyDeleteYes, too many details is not my cup of tea
DeleteYep, I sure do, though I think this year I read less because as you say the genre can get too heavy on the tech and lingo sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI think it is harder for me when Eng is not my first language :/
DeleteI enjoy reading sci-fi, but it seems like it's so much easier to find fantasy than good SF reads. Maybe that's because I need my SF to be character driven and most of it is written by men who write more technical than I prefer...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of space opera, I love Jessie Mihalik's writing and I think she's got a new one coming out. I should go look it up to make sure I haven't missed it!
True! It is So much easier to find fantasy. My library has almost no sci-fi, so that is not an option. And I usually only hear of the big ones if I want to buy :/
DeleteOmg, a new one? I love her books
I love it, but don't read it as much as other genres. Yes to SFR!
ReplyDeleteI do not either, I would like more though
DeleteI love sci-fi, and this year I've read LOTS of adult books in the genre via NG/EW. Maybe not so much "hard sci-fi" (your "tech is boring" 😉) - I like time travel, stories set in space, VR.
ReplyDeleteHard scifi boooo
DeleteStargate SG-1 is one of the best shows ever. I get your comparison, but all of the Star Trek spinoffs were pretty character driven and visited all sorts of new worlds (wasn't that in their motto?)
ReplyDeleteI did like the new Star Trek, still, I would choose Stargate anyday ;)
DeleteThe question is, where do you stand on Star Wars? Original, prequel trilogy, new Disney stuff?? It is probably my favorite sci-fi movie series. I could also include The Matrix, Twelve Monkeys, Jurassic Park/World. I do read some in books too. I've read some cyborg, one where you could back up your memories to a cloud and be put into a clone if your body dies. I don't like if they too technical though, too.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Books of My Heart
Well, obvi Star Wars is awesome! It's very light and cheesy. I like them all :D
DeleteNew Disney stuff though *yawn* No, can't keep up. You can't put out a new series every week
I do not even consider JP sci.fi, lol, I never thought of that, oops
Matrix, yes very cool
I'm so gosh darn picky with SCIFI
