As a way to read more female authors writing
Science Fiction and Fantasy, I have signed up to the Women of Genre Fiction
Reading Challenge on Worlds Without End.
The challenge is to read twelve books by twelve
female authors that you have not read before over the next year. The titles I
have chosen are:
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guinn
Of Blood
and Honey by Stina Leicht
Rosemary
and Rue by Seanan McGuire
Shards of
Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold
Witch World
by Andre Norton
The
Whitefire Crossing by Courtney Schafer
Heart’s
Blood by Juliet Marillier
The Cloud
Roads by Martha Wells
So many great books here! I can't wait to see what you think of Moon Called, The Killing Moon, Rosemary and Rue, Shards of Honor, The Whitefire Crossing, and The Cloud Roads! And I'm really curious to see what you think of some of the others that I haven't read yet but want to.
ReplyDeleteThey are all from your women in SF&F Month last year, I think, so I know that they are likely to be pretty good! I'm just amazed that there are some on this list that you haven't read! :D
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read any books by Andre Norton, Margaret Atwood, Stina Leicht, or Juliet Marillier. They're all authors I want to read, though! I actually did start a Juliet Marillier book once but put it down. It seemed like a book I'd really like; I just wasn't in the mood for it at that time.
ReplyDeleteI have read a book by Octavia Butler, but it wasn't Kindred. She's a great writer, though. I'd love to read more of her books!
Good luck on your challenge.. They sound like good books. I'd love to do this one, but decided no challenges for me this year. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your challenge
