But why run a month dedicated to it when my blog is primarily sci-fi orientated anyway? Well, my opinion is just that and I wanted to invite others to contribute and show everyone that there is indeed good quality sci-fi out there for all to enjoy.
To start things off I'll be posting my normal monthly release list tomorrow and then I'll be adding some reviews and guest posts to the mix. The first competition will be all go on Saturday, so stay tuned if you're interested in winning one of my favourite series of all time!
I hope you all find this as enjoyable as I intend and that you find one or two books here that you'll go and pick up :)
I'll also be doing a post with contributions from readers of the blog, just a paragraph on what you love about sci-fi. So far I've had a few contributions, but I'm hoping that more of you will take ten minutes to email in with your opinion. All emails to mark@walkerofworlds.com with the subject 'What I love about Sci-Fi'.

"This is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier. (Except that of course you can't have a *final* frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier *to*, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate...)"
- Terry Pratchett
Let's appreciate science fiction!
Yay! So looking forward to SFAM!!! Off to add button to my blog! :)
I'm really looking forward to this. I've read some science fiction, although I'm primarily a fantasy reader. But I'm always on the lookout for good science fiction.
really fun idea. I just downloaded a bunch of free sci-fi books to my I phone, hope to post some reviews later this month.
