Julia asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi Ms McMaster Bujold. Writing to congratulate you on yet another well deserved Hugo. Also a ? for you, but maybe better for your fans. The World of the Five Gods is a mouthful. I've seen WoFG as an abbreviation. How about WotFig, even though it sounds like a terrible botanical disease of fig trees. Advantage is that it is pronounceable.

I'm going to stick with "World of the Five Gods" for story covers and ad copy, myself, but the fans may devise what they please. It was being abbreviated 5GU, for Five Gods Universe, a while back, which might serve for those with tired texting thumbs.

A Goodreads user asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I'm a bit of a romantic when it comes to owning books, so even though I read everything on my e-reader, I still want my favorite books sitting proudly on a shelf. So here's the problem: I'd greatly enjoy having a nice line-up of all the Vorkosigan novels, but my search for finding all the books, in the same format and with the same cover style, has been unsuccessful. Is there a one-stop shop to solve this?

Have you seen this Spoonflower scattered-quotes design? She's clearly a fan! (I recognize some of the other inclusions, too.) 1832993-she-reads-lot-books-by-kellyw
