I was over at the 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge home site. Robyn is the host. She is also hosting the Mind Voyages Reading Challenge. I thought I would join her for Mind Voyages. What is this you might ask? Here are some details.
Science Fiction and Fantasy - what do you think of when you hear those words? I think of books with adventure, exploration, mind altering worlds, knights, dragons, cool space ships, alternate realities, magical quests, new technology, evil villains and heroes. Books that entertain and enlighten, books that take you away, books that take you on a voyage - a mind voyage.
So come take a mind voyage with me - explore the hugo and nebula winners, take side trips through the different decades reading the nominees, check out Philip K. Dick and Robert Heinlein. Plus, since I like a wide variety of books and like to explore, can't possibly imagine a reading challenge without exploring new releases that come out in 2010.
