I believe it is. Maybe I am conditioned that way, but I automatically think Sci-Fi.

Yes. Of course! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think aliens would make it sci-fi or paranormal.
ReplyDeletefor me, yes. i always lump it into sci fi
ReplyDeleteYes. I think it would be automatically tagged as a Sci-Fi. Even with movies they call label it as a Sci-Fi genre.
ReplyDeleteI think it is...I've never read a book with aliens I didn't consider to be sci-fi. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd consider a book with aliens in it to be sci-fi, but mostly I read mysteries.
ReplyDeleteFor me it depends on the role aliens play in the book for it to be considered sci-fi, I'm not sure but I do know the Lux series features aliens and I don't really view the series as sci-fi. Thank you for the giveaway and enjoy your day! :)
ReplyDeleteI think so. Because I Am Number Four and Daniel X are considered science fictions. Hahaha. They're the only books with aliens that I have read. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :D
ReplyDeletei would think it would be sci fi, unless it was a fiction story like E.T. for some reason, i don't consider that movie to be sci fi.....:) thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose it can be, and by definition should be,but I dont think all books are heavy on the science fiction even when aliens are a big part of the story. Sometimes they're more fantasy driven, especially with YA titles. Anyways, the giveaway's awesome! Followed via GFC, hope you'll hop on down to Twinja Book Reviews
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll see something cool! :)
Thanks! I followed your blog and Twitter :)
DeleteThat's what I always believed that when aliens are in it, it would be sci-fi. but then i could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments! I have this new book I'm writing and after exhausting other possibilities, I think one or two of the characters are going to be aliens, but it's not going to be an alien book, if you know what I mean. It'll have a little to do with the fact that they're not from Earth and have some special abilities, but it won't go into their planet or traveling here or taking over the world or anything like that. It's almost more of a paranormal just with an alien instead of a vampire or werewolf. It's hard to fit that into a genre.
ReplyDeleteI was lead to believe that if there is an alien that it has to be sci-fi. could i be wrong
ReplyDeleteYes I would think so!
ReplyDeleteI think anything with aliens is sci-fi.
ReplyDeletenot anymore, i have read some erotic alien stories but weren't really sci-fi
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to be a part of this book giveaway extravaganza! Find me at http://wp.me/p3GCnv-1MC.

Alien books could just be considered paranormal.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
To me it is, but if it has a big romantic undercurrent, I wouldn't know how to classified it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance :)
Usually i will think like that.
ReplyDeleteSciFi covers alot of areas but to me I think it has subgroups like paranormal or romance, etc.
ReplyDeleteNo. It depends if the subject matter is children's, etc., also, what types of characters are involved. It could be fantasy. This is a tough question. michelle_willms@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think so XD
ReplyDeleteidk
ReplyDeleteWell, depends on the story I guess. A comedy situation with an alien in it wasn't a sci fi movie at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway :)
In most cases, yes.
ReplyDeletekareninnc at gmail dot com
I believe so.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think anything with aliens is Sci-Fi.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the story there are some stories with aliens that don't really seem sci-fi at all.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the circumstances. If there are spaceships and other planets, I'd say yes. If it's vampires are actually aliens kind of thing, then no.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I'd have to ask my hubby what he thinks. He LOVES books about aliens. Dunno if he'd consider them Sci-fi or not though?
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
ReplyDeleteI think so, yes. & I love me some alien books!
ReplyDeleteI would think so
ReplyDeleteMary GLoki
I think so, yeah
ReplyDeleteYes. I think.
ReplyDeleteYup, I think so.
ReplyDeleteTechnically...yes. But I don't think that all books that feature aliens are necessarily sci-fi—some skate that fine line between fantasy and sci-fi, and end up more on the fantasy side. It's all about context. Moning's Fever series comes to mind. The fey are actually aliens that have been on Earth for thousands upon thousands of years, yet I could never consider the series sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. I've read a series that was more fantasy than sci-fi
ReplyDeleteYes but if aliens are just a little part of it then I would say it is romance with a bit of fantasy.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteto me, yes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway :)
I guess, thats what it always was.. but I can see it as paranormal more.
ReplyDeleteyes unless its comical then its humor.
ReplyDeleteI would consider it to be sci-fi. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFor me, yes. Science is concerned outer space and so, with aliens too and aliens has never had any hard proof yet, therefore it is still fiction.
ReplyDeleteYes I think yo :)
ReplyDeleteIn most cases yes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think it is :)
ReplyDeleteI would think it is
ReplyDeleteUsually but I think some books prove you can have an alien and little or no sci-fi elements.
ReplyDeleteI would think a book with Aliens in it yes is considered sci-fi
ReplyDeleteI think yes. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAliens make it Sci-Fi but maybe it could be "double genred" like Sci-Fi-Romance ??
ReplyDeleteI think it just depends on how the aliens are perceived through the book.
ReplyDeleteI believe it all depends on the way you present them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it would be. It can also be another genre like romance, young adult, comedy, but it will still be sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteNever thought about it, but yes, I think it would be.
ReplyDeleteDigicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net
Yes I think
ReplyDeleteI think it is your own personal opinion, and it would have to be a well written alien novel to be considered sci-fi for me. Thanks for the giveaway!
