Women of Science Fiction 2011 Book Club

TJ at Dreams and Speculation is holding this book club to read a great selection of science fiction written by women in 2011. Some of these I have read and some are already on my TBR list; there is no obligation to read all 12 books, so I shall give it a go and see what happens.

The full list of books and details on how to sign up are here.

I’ll add details when I start and finish any of the books – and hopefully there will be reviews over on Saving My Sanity… but, as always, that will be dependant on my health.

1. Dust – Elizabeth Bear (completed 11-1-11)
2. The Dispossessed – Ursula K. Le Guin
3. Darkship Thieves – Sarah A. Hoyt
4. The Doomsday Book – Connie Willis (read in 2007)
5. Mappa Mundi – Justina Robson
6. Lilith’s Brood – Octavia E. Butler
7. Cordelia’s Honor – Lois McMaster Bujold (most recently read in 2009)

There is also the option to read short stories from the collection, Her Smoke Rose Up Forever – by James Tiptree, Jn (who is, indeed, a woman of science fiction).
