Mrs. SF Daddy said, "I've never gotten any awards."
I want to thank Alex J. Cavanaugh for spreading this little bit of viral fun onto my blog. I'm a third generation recipient so tracing back the history of this award was quick and fun. I have quite a few new blogs to investigate! Good networking, ladies and gentlemen!
Award Creator: Flutey Words
This Award should be given to any blogs that promote the genres of Fantasy and Science Fiction, whether it be through author interviews, reviews, your own writing, etc. The rules are: you must state 5 of your favorite fantasy/sci fi books and or movies that inspired you.
5 books (or series) that have inspired me and/or the girls (Red1 and Red2)
- Star Wars Expanded Universe - I've read almost all of the expanded universe. I'm no wookiepedia, but I'm up a bit on Vader's grandkids. Kevin J. Anderson and Michael Stackpole seem to be the authors that really stand out. Stackpole is quite busy with other series including the Secret Atlas that I'm starting to enjoy as well.
- Voyager series. We started picking up the Star Trek novels from the trift store for 50 cents. Janeway's first book was incredible. I wrote about it earlier.
- Harry Potter series - We don't have a lot new to say about these books that hasn't been exhausted elsewhere. Red1 is up to actually reading the 4th book. She's been listening to the audio books for a long time and had us believing that she was also reading the paper versions. (The tests at school can't tell the difference, but I explained how it really really DOES matter.)
- The Last Dragon
- by Silvana De Mar - Red1 has read this one over and over. It's an all time favorite.
- The Fablehaven
Series - by Brandon Mull. Red1 was thrilled to be holding the latest installment in hardcover! You could hear the shriek of delight from the next block over.
Fantasy and Sci Fi Blogs:
I'm not following a lot of Science Fiction blogs right now, so went on a hunt. I found StarTrekSpace right away and was instantly impressed enough to share it with you.

A really verbose Star Trekian blog. The look and feel of the blog is true to ST and that's a plus already, but the author also offers a wide array content relating to all the ST series and details of the ST future history. Awesome Post: Starfleet Demotion. ~ Star Trek - Sci Fi Blog
I will have to check out the Star Trek site!
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite Star Wars books are the ones written by Timothy Zahn.
VOYAGER was definitely my favourite STAR TREK series. I loved the scientific part of it and the distant space travel.
ReplyDeleteThrawn would be an interesting add to the Clone Wars series, er, maybe a Thrawn-like character. He may be too young for that era.
ReplyDeletethe doctor was my favorite character, loved the first episodes where he was always so put out when they'd leave the room and forget to turn him off.
Added Red1's book picks and had trouble getting it to repost. Finallly figured it out.
