Intergalactic Book Tag

I was looking for a book tag for SciFiMonth and this one seemed just perfect. I came across the Intergalactic Book Tag on Zezee with Books. It was originally created by Life of a Female Bibliophile to promote the book Starflight by Melissa Landers. Officially there aren’t any rules. But because it’s SciFiMonth I only answered with science fiction books.

Space: name a book that is out of this world – that takes place in a world different from our own.

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray is set in multiple alternate worlds. The characters are able to jump to other universes with an invention called the Firebird. It’s the start of a great trilogy.

Black hole: name a book that completely sucked you in.

I couldn’t stop reading Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. Even when I reread the book, it totally captivated me!

Lightspeed: name a book you are anticipating so much that you wish you could travel at lightspeed to get to it.

At the moment I’m not really keeping up with books that are coming out…

Nebula: name a book with a beautiful cover.

I am currently reading Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. This is a book I bought because of the beautiful cover. Sadly, the story itself was a bit disappointing.

Multiverse: name a companion set or spin-off series you love.

I actually haven’t read any spin-off series. I am quite curious about The Book of Dust, the spin-off series to His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.

Gravity: name your favorite romantic pairing that seems to have gravitational pull to each other.

Kady and Ezra from The Illuminae Files are an interesting couple. At the start of the story, they just broke up. A big part of the book they are separated, but it’s pretty clear that they still like each other.

The big bang: name the book that got you started on reading.

I really don’t know, I love to read books as long as I can remember.

Asteroid: name a short story or novella that you love.

In my last post I named a few. Another good science fiction story I recently found is The Painter of Trees by Suzanne Palmer. I heard this beautiful and sad story on Clarkesworld and you can also read it there. It’s set in a future where the environment is in an even worse condition than it is now.

Galaxy: name a book with multiple POVs.

My next read is the book Speak by Louisa Hall. It’s told from the perspective of five different characters. It’s said to be a thoughtful novel that explores the creation of Artificial Intelligence.

Spaceship: name a book title that would be a great name for a spaceship.

In Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld the Leviathan is actually a living whale flying ship. I think it would also be a good name for a spaceship!
