Bujold reading-order guide link
I think it may be time again to post the link to the official, or at least my, Bujold reading-order guide, updated.
https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...
Please share this link as needed.
I actually place a copy of this at the back of every one of my indie-published e-stories, which seems like it would be a lot of spread. But, of course, no one would see it there unless they'd already bought one, which does not help the new reader contemplating a first purchase.
Ta, L.

Do you find it a weirder experience to meet someone who LOVED you work, as in has a deeply personal connection to a book or character, or someone who HATED it (for non-stupid reasons, because I assume that someone saying that they hated The Vorkosigan Saga because it temped children into homosexual experimentation would be too baffling to be given any real thought)

So there is a selection bias toward positive feedback when it is to (or in) a writer's face. Remarks assumed to be not aimed at the writer, like reader reviews, give I think a more accurate idea of the range of responses to a work than fan mail, or face-to-face encounters at signing lines or other public appearances.
I've had very few anti-fan-letters, though there was one especially incensed one about Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen once. So it goes.
