Women in SF&F

(Last updated Jan 17, 2014)

This list is compiled from the recommendations give during the Women in SF&F Month at Fantasy Cafe, which has run in April for the last two years. You can check out my Goodreads Shelf for a suggested title for each author. My intention is to try to read at least one title by each of these female authors, although I am not sure how long it will take me.

(P) Read in the past, no review available or upcoming.

(U) Read recently, upcoming review.

(R) I have reviewed at least one title by this author: you can find a list here.

(C) Scheduled for reading as part of a Challenge this year
