Booking Through Thursday: Fantasy and Sci-Fi

Booking Through ThursdayCheck Spelling

One of my favorite sci-fi authors (Sharon Lee) has declared June 23rd Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Day.

As she puts it:

"So! In my Official Capacity as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I hereby proclaim June 23 Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day! A day of celebration and wonder! A day for all of us readers of science fiction and fantasy to reach out and say thank you to our favorite writers. A day, perhaps, to blog about our favorite sf/f writers. A day to reflect upon how written science fiction and fantasy has changed your life."

So … what might you do on the 23rd to celebrate? Do you even read fantasy/sci-fi? Why? Why not?

I love fantasy! As for sci-fi, I rarely read them but I do love sci-fi movies (i.e. Star Wars!).

I think it is great that sci-fi author, Sharon Lee, has declared a day to honour these two genres since it seems to me that they tend to get lesser recognition as compared to other genres.

As for June 23rd, I might want to read a fantasy novel in honor of this celebration but that will depend if I have finished the two books which I am currently reading.

What about you? Do you read fantasy/sci-fi books? What would you do on June 23rd?
