The Top 10 Sci-Fi Titles Written by Women

Make your choice: Best Romantic Relationship in Sci-fi Books?

This week, due to–ahem–unconventional nominations over on the Facebook group, we have, for the first time ever in Discover Sci-Fi history, a top 10 poll with eleven options! Not wanting to leave out the strongest nomination which is, not exactly aligned with the parameters of “romantic relationship” we had in mind, we are stretching our own rules a bit. Nevertheless! The readers and fans have spoken! Whether or not they are of sound mind is to be determined in the comments below!

So, based on the combined nominations here on the Discover Sci-Fi blog and the Facebook group, here are the top choices for best romance in literary science fiction. This week you'll only be able to choose one, so make it count!

Click here to see the full list of nominations on the blog, or here to see the full list of nominations on the Facebook group.

Out of these nominations, what's the best romantic relationship in a science fiction book, short story, or series?

The Top 10 Greatest Sci-Fi Writers

Top Ten Poll: Who is the greatest sci-fi writer of all time?

Over on the Facebook group, we were discussing how selecting the “greatest sci-fi writer of all time” is a bit silly in its over-selectivity, however, it does promote some excellent conversation and debate! And it is a fun way to pick each other's brains on what makes some writers so good. To say nothing of getting more ideas for future authors to check out!

From over 100 total nominations and nearly 300 voters from this blog and the Facebook group, we have narrowed down the list of nominations to a top 10 list. Your heavy task this week is to take a look at the authors and choose just one. Don't forget you can check out the full list of nominations from last week's post to get even more ideas for your reading list!

Who out of these top 10 authors is the greatest sci-fi writer of all time?
