This is an old theme that many of you have asked for me to bring back: a month dedicated to science fiction and dystopia! The book doesn't have to be "hard science fiction"; dystopia, eco-thrillers, space horror, etc. all count, too! 🚀
REMINDER: You don't have to only post the books you read that fit the theme, as long as one or more of your reads during the month match the prompt!
If you have any questions, check our general FAQ topic and see if it's been answered already. If not, ask away!
