James Tiptree Jr. Award - Book Requests for Kristina

[Kristina Simon]

James Tiptree Jr. is a pseudonym for Alice B. Sheldon. By choosing a masculine pen name, having her stories accepted under that name and winning awards with them, Sheldon is created with breaking down barriers for women in the science fiction world by showing that the division between male and female science fiction writing was illusory.

Award-winning SF author Pat Murphy, in collaboration with author Karen Joy Fowler, announced the creation of the James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award in February of 1991 at WisCon (the world’s only feminist-oriented science fiction convention). The annual literary prize is awarded for for science fiction or fantasy that explores and expands our understanding of gender.

Hi, Amy! Here you are:



I'm on hold for Where the Crawdads Sing and the library doesn't have Daughter of Moloka'i yet, so My Sister, the Serial Killer it will be.

[Kristina Simon]

Glad one of them worked for you, Amy. I finished My Sister, the Serial Killer not too long ago. I liked it and it was a quick read. Hope you enjoy it, too!

[Tien]

My apologies, Coralie, Kristina did tell me she's going on holidays & I've been meaning to check in but have forgotten (my brain is also on holiday mode). Here are your picks:

Witchmark (The Kingston Cycle #1)
Blackveil (Green Rider #4)

[Coralie]

Thanks Tien. I will probably go with Blackveil

ooh, please let me know if you think it's worth reading. I still wasn't sure if like how the 3rd book went and from reading reviews, I really am unsure whether I'll attempt this one or not.

[Kristina Simon]
