The Sci-Fi Summer Readathon is another event that is hosted by Michelle of Seasons of Reading. When I first heard about this event, I couldn’t wait to dive in as I had a number of sci-fi novels in my unread stacks.
Unfortunately, I struggled with this one. I was really happy when the event was extended!
Let’s dive in to my recap.
My Sci-Fi Summer Readathon Wrap-Up
For the month of June, I was hoping to read the following:
- Armada by Ernest Cline
- The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
- Authority by Jeff Vandermeer
- Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer
Then if there was time after that, I had a few graphic novels that I wanted dive into.
For what I ended up reading though? That was a bit of a different story. I was DETERMINED to finish The Southern Reach Trilogy… and that caused a bit of a slump because I wasn’t loving it.
What I completed:
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
- Authority by Jeff Vandermeer
- Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer
- Stranger Things: The Other Side
Overall, not too shabby! Though I do wish I had started out with Armada or LWTASAP, perhaps then I wouldn’t have gotten stuck in a slump.
Thanks for reading!
Have you read any of the books I was able to get to this month? If so, what did you think about them?
I haven’t read any of these, but I do want to read Long Way some time this year! Sorry the readathon didn’t go as well as you hoped!
Awesome! I hope you’re able to get to that one soon! I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll still get to it soon as well 🙂
I’m not a huge science fiction reader, but I have enjoyed a few in the past! 4/5 isn’t bad! 🙂

Whoops! Meant to leave this instead of a link to my GR shelf, haha!
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
hahahah! I creeped on your Goodreads shelves anyway! 🙂
Checking your shelf out now! 🙂
I kind of ruined these reads for myself because I watched the movie/series. You got four science fiction books read, like you said, not too shabby!
😀
Auch if I’d known it was going to turn into a full month event I’d have taken part in it! With being on holiday the first week I was never going to have time to take part so I gave it a miss! Yeah, I didn’t love Annihilation! I did read a few SF books this month though so I sort of took part a little!
Oh darn it! Phew yea, that book… They’re all in my pile to donate this weekend 🙂
You ended up doing great! Thanks for joining us.
I still have not read Annihilation. I loved the movie. I read too much Dystopian in June. Ugh. I need a break from the end of the world as we know it. lol
Hope to see you at our next readathon. 🙂
