One of my favorite sci-fi authors (Sharon Lee) has declared June 23rd Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Day.
As she puts it:
So! In my Official Capacity as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I hereby proclaim June 23 Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day! A day of celebration and wonder! A day for all of us readers of science fiction and fantasy to reach out and say thank you to our favorite writers. A day, perhaps, to blog about our favorite sf/f writers. A day to reflect upon how written science fiction and fantasy has changed your life.
So … what might you do on the 23rd to celebrate? Do you even read fantasy/sci-fi? Why? Why not?
I can’t imagine that I would do something special to celebrate the 23rd, but I wish that I had a lot of book loving friends to have some sort of book party with. We could share and discuss books and eat yummy things. Alas, I am veritably friendless! I am not even a member of any local book club. Maybe I will take the suggestion of above and just blog about some of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi writers and books.
I am not a big fan of fantasy or sci-fi, but I have read a books in the genre and am not adverse to selecting a good sounding one to read. In fact, I started out my love of books thanks to a fantasy series. I have said this before on my blog, but my mother used to read to me Piers Anthony’s Xanth series when I was a kid of 7. She read me the first eight or so books, and I always remembered them fondly. So, later on when I was around 13, I picked up the books again and it just took off from there. I have nothing but respect and love for the fantasy genre. Sci-Fi, though, I am more selective about because I tend not to like stuff that is technical and ‘spacey.’

I wish I had enough friends who were book lovers that we could get together for a book party.
