Lois McMaster Bujold:
I'm a librarian at the Worcester PL (MA) and the leader of our SF Book Club. A few years ago we read A Civil Campaign and in March 2025 we'll be reading Komarr. Many SF authors have joined our meetings, including Allen Steele, Robert J. Sawyer, Walter Hunt, Adam Hamdy, Elizabeth Moon, etc. Would you like to join our online mtg in March, meet some fans, and talk about your book? Love to have you join us!

For all such private inquiries that require a private answer, please contact me through the Goodreads messaging system, to be found under the little envelope icon at the top right of one's screen.
I believe one must have "friended" someone to use it, which is easy with me because I automatically friend anyone who asks, who appears to be a normal reader. Anyone who has had more experience using this not-intuitively-obvious system, please chime in below with further instructions.
I sympathize with the frustration at trying to use Goodreads to contact someone, but the "Ask the Author" column can only show public replies.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I feel hesitant to criticize you, given how much the critical thinking, thoughtful commentary and philosophizing in your writings have informed, enriched and molded my character over the years. But would it be possible for you to add some book tags (i.e. manga, fantasy, contemporary, urban fantasy, YA, etc.) to your reviews here on Goodreads to make it easier for us to search for our next read using your reviews?

Sadly, the most likely thing. But it would be interesting to see people's reactions if Penric was the one who DIDN'T stand out (physically at least). Maybe someone else from the cantons will visit him and verify that his tales of mountains, and snow & ice are true. (?)
