Welcome to Vintage Month!
Posted January 1, 2015
on:Hi Everyone, and welcome to Vintage Science Fiction month! the goal is to read some older stuff, and have fun doing it. If you are participating in Vintage month, head on over to The Sci-Fi Experience at Stainless Steel Droppings for a twofer. Feel free to link to your reviews in the comments of the Vintage SciFi not-a-challenge tab up top, and if you are on twitter feel free to use #VintageSciFi
I’ve got some fantastic guest posts coming up for you, along with reviews of books like Babel-17, Stand on Zanzibar, Kate Wilhelm’s The Infinity Box and Mark Geston’s Lords of the Starship, among others. But I’ve got more than just books for you this time! During December i watched the beginning of the iconic science fiction tv show Space 1999, and went back to enjoy the first season of Star Trek. Thanks to a facebook acquaintance, I was introduced to the Starlog and Galaxy magazine collection at The Internet Archive.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to be on Red Alert for the Interstellar Patrol!

I’ve literally only just discovered Vintage Sci-Fi Month, but with any luck I’ll still have time to join in! 🙂 I only just started getting into sci-fi last year so classic/vintage sci-fi is fairly alien to me. (Ha. Alien.)
I’m going to try to read and review The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier and The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. This is such a fun Not-A-Challenge, and I’m looking forward to more of your posts! 😀

[…] Okay, so here is the very first post for my self-imposed reading challenge for the year (details of which are here, if you missed them)! And, given the timing and my choice of book to kick things off with, naturally I’m killing two birds with one stone and making this one my contribution to Vintage Sci-Fi Month. […]

G’day – not doing the challenge, but I am currently reading “Seeds of Time” by John Wyndham – so I might try to do a review for the ‘not a challenge’ 🙂
Cheers
