We've reached the midpoint of the year. How is that possible? I guess time does have a way of flying by! Anyway, that means it's time to give a reading update, namely what have been my best reads of 2026 so far. #booksky #writesky #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity www.danscifi.com/post/best-re...

Recently, I convinced my now 11-year-old reluctant reader to pick up some science fiction novels. But there is a catch… these are books I read as a child. Not just the same title by the same author, but the exact same copies! #booksky #writesky #middlegradebooks www.danscifi.com/post/more-gr...
