And once again it’s time for our annual dive into space in search of “new life and new civilizations”, a monthly feast for us lovers of science fiction in all its uncounted declinations.

This year four brave commanders will be at the helm of our virtual spaceship, ready to lead us “where no one has gone before”

• imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More
• Lisa @ Dear Geek Place
• Annemieke @ A Dance With Books
• Mayri @ Book Forager

Visit their sites to learn more about the event, if you are new to it, or to discover the many challenges and read-alongs they have prepared for us.  And don’t forget to sign up so they will know which members of this year’s crew will be onboard.

My schedule for this year’s SciFi Month includes a few books – of course! – and something new for me: taking inspiration from the Music Monday meme I will showcase some of my favorite SF soundtracks from my equally favorite composer.

Ready? Then let’s go!!!!  Or should I say “engage!”?  😉

See you all out there…

And now that spring seems to have taken roots once again, it’s time for the first of the yearly bookish events I most enjoy: Wyrd & Wonder, a month-long celebration of all things fantasy.

This year’s theme is MAGIC and I think that nothing is as magical as the wonderful images chosen to represent W&W for this 2023, like the one I chose to use for my posts during this month.

Our indefatigable hosts are Ariana of The Book Nook, Annemieke of A Dance With Books, Jorie Loves A Story, Lisa of Dear Geek Place and Imyril of There Is Always Room for One More  Check their blogs to learn more about Wyrd & Wonder 2023 and all the amazing challenges and read-alongs that will be part of this year’s fantasy celebration.

As for my plans, this year I’m somewhat behind my preparations: real life kept me a little busy and I’m not as ready as I used to be – books to read… reviews to write… But I’ll get there, hopefully.

See you beyond the magic portal!

The congratulatory gesture is more than called for since this is the fifth iteration of the month-long event celebrating all things fantasy: for the occasion, our Fairy Godmothers Imyril, Lisa and Jorie are joined by Ariana and Annemieke, bringing their total to five. Neat! 🙂

If you’re old hands at this, you already know everything there is to know about our neverending party where Elves can safely mix with vampires and enjoy the buffet alongside wherewolves and wizards, but if this is your first time don’t fear: our Fairy Godmothers have thought of everything.
