Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movies and TV Shows This is going to be fun! I love reading SFF, so a lot of my favorite movies and TV shows have elements of sci-fi/fantasy. There are a couple that don't, but I love them just as much! TV shows I love Doctor Who - it's all the fun of time travel and space exploration with all the joy of discovering the best humanity has to offer. My favorite episodes are Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, Vincent and the Doctor, The Empty Child, and The Girl in the Fireplace. They're the ones that were the most emotional for me, which is what I love about this show - despite all the crazy aliens and special effects, in the end it's about wonderful people and their beautiful stories. Merlin was one of those series that got better and better with every season. I didn't love it at first, but as each season went on, I fell in love...
All of these are on my to-read list as well! I've been hearing a lot about John Scalzi lately, I think if I read one of his books I'll start with either Lick In or The Old Man's War. I hadn't actually heard of Neuromancer or Fortune's Pawn before, I'll definitely look those up.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Those are all totally new to me reads! Hope you get to read some of them soon!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Strong list. Fortune's Pawn is so much fun, but I am a huge fan of the strangely weird Perdido Street Station.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever decide to start the Wheel of Time series, well, I'm interested to see what you'll think! The only other one on this list that I've read is Elantris, so I guess I have a lot of catching up to do, too....
ReplyDeleteWe share a lot of book that we 'can't believe we haven't read yet' You're not alone! LOL! I still need to read Elantris, The Eye of the World, The Emperor's Blades, The Mirror Empire AND Old Man's War. I'm hoping to read Elantris and The Eye of the World this year though...hopefully soon. We'll have to compare notes when you get to these too :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually only read one of these (Elantris) but a couple are on my to read list and as for the rest....Well, I'm curious about them so I now have to go read about them. Hope you enjoy them once you get around to reading them.
ReplyDeleteThe only China Mieville I've read is Railsea, and I really liked it. I know he's more known for Perdido Street Station, so I'm excited for that one! Who am I kidding, I'm excited for all of these :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a huge series that I'm intimidated to start. I think I'll start reading book 1 this summer, when I have more time to read. I'll let you know!
ReplyDeleteI've heard lots of great things about Lock In, so that's on my list too. I'm glad we have a lot of books in common - that makes me feel better about not having read these haha
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there some other book we both hadn't read? buddy reads all year long hahaha
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you'll definitely hear about it if I start one of these!
I hope you enjoy them as well! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI've read Elantris (such a great read) Eye of the World (three or four books away from finishing this series) and Fortune's Pawn (I freaking love this trilogy!)
ReplyDeleteOf the others I definitely plan to get around to Old Man's Eat and Perdido Street Station someday...And possibly The Emperor's Blades. Good luck reading these!
I've only read 3 of these (Old Man's War, Mirror Empire and Emperor's Blade), but recommend all of them. I did read part of Prince of Fool's and just wasn't feeling the humor in it, and set it aside to read later. One of these days I'll get back to it.
