After having seen nearly 30 rather general reading blogs, we are now going to show you reading blogs around science fiction .

science fiction blogs

31. Orion's shoulder


Orion's Shoulder was created with a mission: to preserve these unimaginable stories for you, human beings, so that they do not fade away in the whirlwind of time, like tears washed away by rain. Although many blogs already deal skillfully with fantasy literature, the author of this blog is committed to offering something different by focusing primarily on science fiction and hard sci-fi. For him, SF is a laboratory of ideas where two major concerns guide its content. The first consists of exploring contemporary production, particularly Anglo-Saxon, by highlighting the latest releases. The second is to go back in time to unearth the links between the classics and the new, and observe the evolution of concepts. The ultimate goal ? Discover literary gems worth reading.

32. The Cult


The Cult was created in early 2016 for two reasons. First, a collection director from L'Atalante noticed the author's reviews on Amazon and suggested highlighting them through a blog. Then, after becoming aware of the general public's lack of knowledge about SFFF thanks to a friend, the author felt the need to educate. The blog thus serves as a platform to advance and promote these literary genres, emphasizing new releases in English and offering educational articles as well as recommendations for neglected or forgotten novels.


33. In the land of troll caves


His blog is entirely dedicated to imagination in all its forms. Initially, the author focused mainly on books and games, but later expanded his columns to series and films. However, the majority of articles remain focused on literature. The blog, entitled "In the land of troll caves" in reference to the Lord of the Rings and Nordic mythology, is the fruit of the work of two people. In addition to the author's numerous columns, her husband also contributes by writing a few articles and proofreading. Sharing a common passion for books, games, series and imagination, the couple created this blog with the aim of sharing their readings and their world with readers. After experiencing the special atmosphere of the Imaginales salon, they decided to continue this experience and contribute modestly to the French imagination, then to the imagination in general, through their blog. While browsing the blog, visitors can also find themed posts about creatures such as dragons, trolls, and vampires. The author is particularly fond of research into the origins of these beings who populate our imagination. She has also written transversal articles on specific themes, such as Mars or time travel, addressing the works, films or games linked to them.


34. Shh Mommy reads


The blog “Shhh Mom reads!” was created in 2013 to share readings primarily focused on SFFF. Over time, it has become much more than just a space for literary chronicles. The “Imaginary News” was thus born, a weekly meeting highlighting the latest developments in the French imagination and the excitement of this field. The blog will continue to evolve, exploring new forms of sharing, notably with a future event highlighting the authors of the French-speaking imagination. Its creator considers this blog as a window open to the literature of the imagination.


35. The critical dog


A reader of science fiction for many years, discover the critical dog blog. His uniqueness lies in his provocative side, his incisive sense of humor and his outspokenness. The feedback she receives from her comments confirms this distinction. We don't visit his blog for in-depth literary analyses, that's for sure. As for her passion for science fiction, she finds in it a reflection of her pessimistic vision of human nature and the world. Between despair and hope, she is perhaps looking for the promise of a better future.


36. LePapillon


The blog LePapillon dans la Lune is mainly devoted to science fiction, with a few escapades in fantasy, fantasy and occasionally thrillers. Short stories, feminist stories and audiobooks are her main interests. Its objective, without pretension, is to share its readings: on the one hand, to discuss SF with enthusiasts sharing the same literary interests, and on the other hand, to highlight works that deserve to be discovered. This blog is not the place for analytical and detailed columns. The blogger rather addresses a broad audience, with assumed frankness. Readers consult LePapillon dans la Lune to find out if a book might please them, quite simply. After nine years of existence, this efficient and time-saving approach continues to appeal, which suits its creator perfectly.


37. The Maki Readings


Originally, the blog was simply a personal way to keep track of one's readings. However, thanks to Lune's insistence, it was opened to the general public. Despite doubts about his appeal to others, the decision was made. All that remained was to find a name. With its recurring avatar, the Maki Catta, “Les Lectures du Maki” emerged naturally. Thus, the blog had two births: a private one in 2013, of which only few traces remain, and a public one in 2015. To date, it has 250 articles. The majority of posts are devoted to science fiction, while a few explore fantasy, thrillers and exceptionally fantasy. From now on, a diversification towards contemporary literature, less marked by genres, is underway (although the pearls of the imagination are often found in general literature). You can also find articles on literary challenges, literary outings and some tags.


38. Albedo



The genesis of the blog finds its origin in the science fiction desert where it resides: an isolated countryside, in a rural department. The impossibility of sharing one's passions, one's literary favorites, even one's frustrations, pushed its creator to bring Albédo to life. The articles mainly focus on science fiction books, with a predilection for SF. Its constant ambition is to convince that the SFFF is a great literature, not only for its epic epics, its unparalleled sense of wonder and its territories conducive to ideas, but also thanks to remarkable writing, endearing characters (or not) and teeming worlds. The name of the blog is borrowed from the study of meteorology. Albedo is the reflection coefficient of light. Snow has an albedo close to 1; only a perfectly reflective surface could reach it, which would be a major advance in astrophysics. Conversely, only black holes reflect no light, displaying absolute zero. You can guess why SF fascinates her! The articles are written seriously, without taking themselves too seriously, and seek to present the books as they were appreciated, all argued and, if possible, tinged with humor.


39. The Bibliocosm


The Bibliocosme was created in the summer of 2013, when its creators were still History students, who subsequently became teachers (in documentation and History-Geography). Their primary objective is to share their readings in the broadest sense of the term: they are particularly fond of SFFF, with a passion for historical fantasy, from Antiquity to the 19th century. Different columnists, such as Boudicca's dad, one of their best friends or even Babelio's acquaintances, contribute to the site by providing specific perspectives on subjects such as manga, white literature or film adaptations. Depending on their availability, they like to carry out interviews with authors and reports from trade fairs and festivals. Their objective is not to provide exhaustive analyzes of the books, but rather to provide some reading keys without revealing everything. They hope that their reviews at Bibliocosme will make them want to read the books, even if they didn't like them, without "spoiling" the plot.


40. What's New on my Stack


A great reader asked for reading advice, in 2007 he created the site “Quoi de Neuf sur ma Pile” in order to bring together his recommendations. Initially intended for friends, his columns were enriched to convince a wider audience. He endeavors to analyze the books, to situate them in the universe of the Imagination or Ideas, concentrating essentially on the text. With a predilection for SF, he also approaches horror and fantasy, while avoiding overly militant literature which can sacrifice art.
