The weekend is upon us again and I hope you have some good reading lined up. I'm currently reading a new series,
Blackstar Command, from a favourite author of mine,
A.C. Hadfield. I really like his writing style and story telling and have previously highlighted other books of his on this website. Take a look at those articles if you want to get an idea of what he's like. I'm almost finished the first book in the series (which is currently 75cents US) and will most likely start on the second one soon.

Thanks for reading so far, next up I have a favour to ask of you. I'm currently working on a series of articles that I hope will help people new or unfamiliar with science fiction understand the genre better and want to read more of it. I'm hoping you can help.
If you have any questions about science fiction (or fantasy) or have an idea for an article that you'd like to read (or video you'd like to watch) please let me know. I've love to hear from my readers about what you'd like to see more of.
You can comments on this blog, or contact me on Twitter or Facebook (details at the bottom of the page). Why not sign up for my newsletter too.
Anyway, when it's time to relax this weekend, grab your favourite beverage and have a read of the following articles.

My father objected to my bringing books home before I'd read the previous lot. He didn't understand that books could just sit on shelves, unopened, and still satisfy whatever need drove the collector to collect them. |
