It
is hard to believe, but it is almost a year since Kristen
at Fantasy Cafe ran this event last year. I was shocked and ashamed by how
many female authors I had not read or even heard about. Since then I have read
quite a few of those authors and titles that were recommended. Here is the Goodreads
list that I created after the event and I plan to read many of them this
year.
Elizabeth
Bear’s Range
of Ghosts was breath taking in its scope and imagination. Octavia E.
Butler’s Kindred
was thought-provoking, wonderfully evocative and still very relevant to modern
America. Ursula K. Le Guin’s A
Wizard of Earthsea was disappointingly shallow for my tastes while Andre Norton’s
Witch
World lived up to my expectations of a detailed Fantasy world with Science
Fiction elements.
I
urge you to hop over to Fantasy Cafe and check it out this year because it is
guaranteed to open your eyes to many wonderful authors.
