When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi

Synopsis From the New York Times bestselling author of Starter Villain comes an entirely serious take on a distinctly unserious subject: what would really happen if suddenly the moon were replaced by a giant wheel of cheese. It’s a whole new moooooon. One day soon, suddenly and without explanation, the moon as we know it […]

Review: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

May 27, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Kaiju Preservation Society is the latest release from famed SFF author John Scalzi. It is a story about a group of people tasked with preserving kaiju, which are interdimensional, giant flying creatures (I picture a cross between a dragon and a dinosaur). I got Avatar-meets-Jurassic Park vibes from this book. It was an enjoyable read.

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

March 18, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The Kaiju Reservation Society is wondrous, an adventure in a new world – like Godzilla movies? Read about the ‘real’ thing. This book scratches the Kaiju movie itch for me, I’ve been a huge fan for years, and if you like them, you’ll want to read this.

My #SciFiMonth November 2019 TBR

November 1, 2019 by David S Leave a Comment

I love Science Fiction, but for some reason I find myself almost always picking up other genres. To remedy this, I have decided to participate in #SciFiMonth’s readathon for November. So without further ado, here are some of the Sci Fi novels/novellas that I will try to get to in November.
