Books recs?
Feb. 27th, 2010 11:19 amA couple months ago I was making noise about starting a local Dallas bookclub - had the blog up, the flyers made, the books picked out, and then it just kind of... fizzled. Curse you, winter months!
So, I'm giving it another go. Today I'm borrowing my sister and we'll go 'round and put the flyers up, next Sunday will be the first, get-to-know-you meeting. Excellent!
But it feels like the book list needs an overhaul. We'll discuss it at the meeting, I hope, but was wondering if any of y'all had suggestions (especially for books by non-western authors). The club will focus on Fantasy and Scifi that are female, queer, and CoC centric, the books need to be SFF that meet at least one (preferably more) of those criteria. Any ideas?
( The current list )
Books I'm thinking about swapping in include Liar (Justine Larbalestier), Haroun and the Sea of Stories (Salman Rushdie), and The Twelve Kingdoms, Volume 1: Sea of Shadow (Fuyumi Ono).
