What better way to ring in the new year than by looking back at what past writers thought this upcoming year would be like. Here is a list of science fiction stories that imagine 2019 in many different and creative ways. I don't know that I'll be consuming these all right away, but they're all definitely on my list for 2019. It's interesting to think about how dystopic everyone thought the world would be in 2019 (and they're kind of right???!). Although I've watched/read/listened to about half of everything on this list, I am still excited to be consuming all of these stories in a new context. Also, I'm going to be focusing on female representation, because there definitely isn't enough focus on women in these stories. Here's the list!
I am notorious for buying books faster than I can read them. I can't resist the allure of an interesting book. Sometimes, all it takes is a good cover to convince me that I absolutely need a book. Here is a look back at all the books I bought in July. Some are not sci-fi, but that is okay.
I was excited when the previews for the newest Lost in Space rendition were released. The series looked fun and exciting. However, once the series was released on Netflix this past April, I found myself struggling through the first few episodes before I finally just gave up. Here's a list of reasons why I still haven't finished Lost in Space.
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe – Lauren James – Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship traveling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth with a single passenger on board. A boy called J.
Their only communication is via email and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.
But what does Romy really know about J? And what do the mysterious messages which have started arriving from Earth really mean?
Sometimes, there’s something worse than being alone…
The premise behind the Red Rising series is very well thought out and immersive. There are a lot of things I dislike about this book but I honestly did enjoy it. Pierce Brown does a great job at creating this futuristic universe ruled by class separation.
I don't own very many movies, but the ones I do own are pretty special to me. I recently made a YouTube video of my movie haul, but I thought I'd post about them here too. So here is a list of my movies with my very short review of each one.
