Thank you so much to all of last week’s guests for another wonderful week of Women in SF&F Month!
There will not be any new guest posts until the very end of April, but I am going to discuss five series I love this week. Before getting to a sneak peek of which books I’ll be featuring, here’s what happened last week in case you missed it.
All of the guest posts from April 2024 can be found here, and last week’s posts were:
- “Villains, Grey Areas, and What Women Can and Cannot Be” — Amy Leow (The Scarlet Throne) discussed her love of unhinged, messy women and shared about why she created an evil main character in her fantasy debut novel.
- “Writing Found Families With Two-Dimensional Characters” — Laura R. Samotin (The Sins on Their Bones) wrote about one of her favorite tropes and how she made her cast of characters well-rounded when incorporating it into her debut adult fantasy novel.
- InCryptid Book Giveaway — US-only giveaway of either the first or the newest book in Seanan McGuire‘s New York Times bestselling, Hugo–nominated InCryptid series: Discount Armageddon (#1) or Aftermarket Afterlife (#13).
Also, the giveaway for a copy of The Wings Upon Her Back by Samantha Mills just ended. I have not yet heard from the winner, so check your email if you entered!
This week, I’m going to focus on five series that I think deserve more readers and discussion in bookish/SFF communities. Here’s a preview of the books I’ll be discussing and which day of the week I’ll be posting about them.
