(no subject)
It's two years since I posted?!? That seems unlikely but I guess it's true. I occasionally tweet (@Shark_hat) if anybody wants to keep up with me?
Some SFF authors I've really liked in the last two years: Andrea K Host (now one of my main comfort rereads), Katherine Addison (only has The Goblin Emperor under that pen name BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SEQUEL!), Becky Chambers, T. Kingfisher, Martha Wells, J. Kathleen Cheney, Sylvia Hunter, Zen Cho, Sarah Tolmie, Kaia Sonderby, A.M. Dellamonica. Bujold, of course.
Otherwise, old mysteries- companies republishing 20s/30s stuff has been cool. Modern mysteries, Donna Andrews' bird-themed series is a nice cosy wihtout being too twee. I've also been reading some romance/chick lit; Shira Glassman has some nice lesbian romances, Trisha Ashley's books have a nice sense of place in Northern England and fun characters (I particularly liked Every Woman for Herself, in which the protag accidentally kills a sexual harasser early on. It's lighthearted!)
