News
Note: The inclusion of DNFs (Did-Not-Finish). As you have seen, we’ve decided to publicly list the books or movies that we were considering reviewing for the site, but ultimately did not. We are doing this in an effort to give a fuller picture of what we read/watch for the site. We will not be listing reasons for DNFs, nor will we be attaching reviewer names to particular novels.
DNFs do not mean we will no longer give negative reviews. It simply means that there are some books or movies that we decided not to finish for a myriad of reasons.
Lilyn G is the founder of Sci-Fi & Scary, and leader of the Coolthulhu Crew. She does book and film reviews for both genres the site focuses on. Her tastes run towards creature features, hard science fiction, and lots and lots of action. She also has a soft spot for middle-grade fiction that rears its head frequently.
She is also a co-founder of Ladies of Horror Fiction, though she has stepped down to regular crew level.
Feel free to chat her up on Twitter as long as you aren’t hitting her up to review your book.
Looks like a solid month of reading, and I love the addition of DNFs to your wrap-ups!
It was – thanks!
