In preparation for Sci-Fi Month 2015, I thought I’d set myself a bit of a challenge: to read as many of my science fiction Netgalley ARCs as possible for the event. This has two purposes: it provides me with content for the event, AND it helps me raise my Netgalley ratio even higher! If you want to join in with this readathon in preparation for Sci-Fi Month, you are more than welcome.
I’m posting about this because I need help deciding which books to start with! I don’t think I’ll manage them all before November, so let me know if you recommend any of these. I will definitely be reading Red Rising, as it’s part of my book group’s monthly pick for September.
Here’s what’s on my list:
I haven’t read any of theses books, but based of reviews I’ve read and what I’ve heard people saying – I’d have to put The Mechanical and Red Rising at the top of the list.
Finished Red Rising now, it was SO good! 😀
Your first two are books I’m DYING to read but haven’t, The Water Knife and The Mechanical. And I loved Six Gun Tarot. Lots of great books, and I love your idea:-)
I feel like I will definitely get to those two soon. I’m reading Six Gun Tarot now 🙂
I loved The Water Knife and have a review on my site. I haven’t read any others but I look forward to seeing what others recommend.
I’ll have to take a look at your review – it’s definitely one I keep hearing about so I think it’s one I’ll definitely aim to read 🙂
I’ve got a lot of these as ARC’s and I have read a couple of them too.
Red Rising is wonderful, really incredible world building, the whole book is immense plus the sequel Golden Son is already out.
The Fearless is also an incredible read, I loved it as it has a British setting and it was kinda scary in bits.
Enjoy no matter what you read!
Red Rising was definitely wonderful! I have a hardback of Golden Son waiting for me now 🙂
I actually read The Fearless yesterday… it was a bit of a disappointment to me 😦 Especially compared to Acid, which is also by Emma Pass, and which I read for SFM 2013.
Thanks Heather! 🙂
The book cover for The Waking Engine is absolutely stunning 🙂 I have that and The Six-Gun Tarot on my want-to-read list but dunno if or when I’ll get around to them. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on them! 🙂
It really is, part of the reason why I requested it… 😉 I’m reading The Six Gun Tarot now!
This is SUCH a good idea. I’ve heard great things about The Almost Girl, though the only one of these I’ve actually read is Red Rising (<3). I might have to go through my NetGalley and see what sci-fi I've got and follow your lead with the readathon, it's genius. Not just yet though – in the next few days I'll be starting Queen of Shadows, which I pre-ordered as a reward for finishing my dissertation and can finally start!
Thanks Faith 😀 You should, we’re doing so well at working on our Netgalley ratios!
Aaah congrats! I still need to buy a pback copy of Heir of Fire, although I did read an eARC.
Good luck with your readathon! I’ve had a copy of Viral Nation on my shelf since it came out and I still haven’t read it, so I’ll definitely be looking forward to your thoughts on it.

Thanks Krystianna 🙂 It’s one of those ones that I’ve been meaning to read for so long but just never got round to.
I have The Water Knife and The Body Electric but haven’t read them yet. You’ve just inspired me to tackle them before November for Sci-Fi Month. Brilliant!
Wonderful! 😀 I think I’ll definitely try and get to those two before November.
