Lisa over at Dear Geek Place did this fun feature post the other day and I want in! A tag originally created by Matthew Sciarappa (it’s a great video) and which Lisa found by way of Lauren over at Always Me.
The rules are simple: pick five books you’ve rated as five-star reads, then sum them up in five words only. Fun!!
As it’s SciFi Month I decided to go back in time and pick some of the first scifi books I ever read, when I was a highly impressionable teenager. I’ve used my five words to create imaginary news headlines for these books (yeah, I’m that kind of annoying person):
Humans escape alien city experiment!
Computer games for the win!
First contact: thing of wonder!
Post-apocalyptic plants will kill!
Spaceship powered by human brain!
Anyone else fancy having a go?
If you do, please send me a link to your post in the comments if you do so I can see your awesomeness!

Neato! Being on the sparser side, for the most part, in my reviews, this appeals to me…

Maybe. I’ve got a bunch of stuff in the works already, so if I do, it probably won’t happen for a while…

I’ve only read Day of the Triffids and Ender’s Game out of these – couldn’t agree more with your five word reviews! 😀

I read An Alien Light so, so long ago, and I’ve not reread it to see if it stands up – but I remember really enjoying it and it obv made an impression on me, since I still remember so much about it now.
I’d like to read her more recent Yesterday’s Kin books to see if I like her now I’m a grown up. 😀

Wish I got round to reading more SF in the SFF genre: I have quite a few *** and **** books but I think not enough 5-star ratings to do this fun challenge. But who knows, I’m rather tempted!

No need to make it just scifi – I’d love to see a fantasy list! 🙂

One of these days I will read Anne McCaffrey. Thanks for the shout out!

I think McCaffrey’s mileage varies considerably. A lot of her stuff is very dated now (although I still love her unconditionally!) 🙂
I’ve really been enjoying your SciFi Month posts. So thank YOU! 😀

I love this idea and might do it myself sometime. I want to read Day of the triffids badly. The whole idea of plants killing humans excites me for some reason. 🙂

Ha ha ha! 😁 Yeah, I like nature getting back at us stories. DotT is very of its time, but still a great book.
Hope you have a go at this tag – it’s good fun. 😊
