Lois McMaster Bujold:
There are certain authors that I will immediately order/preorder their new book, but will then save said book to read as a reward or to consume in pure happiness because I know the writing, plot, world-building, etc are top notch and will not disappoint. You, T. Kingfisher, Alma T.C. Boykin, James Benn, (Terry Pratchett, alas) are some of my very favorites. Are there authors or series about which you feel similarly?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, I'm hanging on to the last Pratchett, though not because I think it will make me happy, but because I suspect it will make me sad.
At the moment, I'm mostly going on to the next whatever because it has sustained my curiosity, at least for a time. But otherwise it's been browsing the infinite entertainment smorgasbord and mostly not finding the next gripping thing. Temporarily amusing, yes, I have found that.
The things I've most gotten into lately have all been finished works. The Asian live-action fantasy TV shows The Untamed and Hotel Del Luna (both on Netflix) have been the biggest recent hits. Also recently found (on Rakuten Viki) worth mention is the 3-D animation The Island of Siliang, unfinished at present. Astounding production quality. I'd be ecstatic to have any work of mine done so well in that medium.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I loved novels starring Cordelia, who is my favorite character in the series, and was wondering if any more are planned, particularly ones focusing just on her? I also particularly loved the Cetaganda novel, so any chance of something like that in the future, perhaps one more heavily Cetagandan in POV? Thanks!

Hello! I wanted to thank you first, you are one of my favourite authors. I discovered that I have trouble introducing miles to new readers. Cordelia's Honor works with women, but they want a Cordelia book after. Warriors Apprentice- a friend said, fun read, but she did not crave for the next book. it really had me thinking. Maybe Memory is a good start for readers who shy away from space opera?
