Bujold reading-order guide link
I am reminded to make my periodic post of the link to my recommended reading-order guide, or guideline, for all my work. Feel free to add this link when you are discussing my stories out and about on the net -- it can save a lot of hand waving. And typing.

Now updated with new book. As always, about the only PR my work gets is from readers, you folks. Which seems pretty targeted to me -- most of my own new book tries as a reader are from reader reviews or friends' recs.

I try to avoid buying paper books these days, because I don't have room for more in the house. Also, I found to my surprise that I actually prefer reading e-books: I don't need to hold the book open.I remember that I downloaded the Kindle program for Windows before I had a Kindle. I now use both.

tho' I imagine folk can find other such around. I was too lazy to sew it a cover (also don't own a sewing machine anymore), so I just put it in a pillowcase.

We don't have a sewing machine in the house, either. My late mother had one, which I think she bought in Zambia in the early 1970s. At that time she also bought Burda magazine, with patterns for clothes that she used to make; but she used the machine less and less as time went by, until it became a sort of dead monument to past industry.

I recently found a much better one online than my home-made -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...

I usually read my Kindle when sitting at a table, so I lay it on the table, with the far end resting on my spectacle case, to tilt it a bit. If I read on a sofa or something, I can hold it in one hand. I've occasionally tried reading in bed, but that doesn't work well.
I've also tried reading while walking in the countryside, but I got scolded by a passing woman for ignoring the natural beauty of the landscape. She didn't know that I've been that way many times over the years, and seen it repeatedly in every season; although, to be sure, no day is an exact repeat of any past day.
You don't need to buy an e-reader. You can download the free Kindle app from the Amazon website to almost any device -- pc, laptop, tablet, phone -- such as the one you are reading this on now. (If your device does not belong to you, that would be another problem, I suppose.) You could be reading the content of your choice in minutes. I believe Nook has something similar, and iBooks for the Apple/Mac world. (Though there's also a version of the Kindle app for Mac.)
Alternately, while the collectable paper volume is sold out at Subterranean Press and most other places, and secondhand prices are going up in consequence, one can still obtain signed copies mail order through Uncle Hugo's here in Minneapolis by arrangement (email them at unclehugo@aol.com ) although now at a higher market price than the former list price, which is why it's not in their regular online catalog.

(I actually do most of my own reading on my tablet these days, for the insta-large-print.)
