Dragons & Jetpacks is a science fiction and fantasy bookgroup, based on Goodreads. The group is open to all, all that is required is a Goodreads account. We read two books a month, one fantasy and one sci-fi – the second week of each month is when members make suggestions, and the third is used for voting. We’re always happy to meet fellow fans of the genres, so you’re more than welcome to join the group!

Oryx and Crake is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey–with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake–through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride.

Rinn Reads 
I still can’t believe that I’ve never read The Last Unicorn, nor have I seen the animated adaptation. :O
Happy reading, Rinn!
I haven’t read or seen it either! And I don’t think I’ll get round to it this month…
The Last Unicorn! I may have to read this one with the group just for old time’s sake. This is literally one of the stories that had the biggest impact on the future of my genre life. Granted, I saw it as a movie first, but that’s fine. It’s funny how many times I watched it before I noticed the line “based on the novel by…” in the credits.
I’m not sure when I’ll get round to this one but I feel like I should at some point in my life 🙂
