Yes, folks, you read the subject line correctly! Has it been that long? Anyway, let's get cracking. Today, instead of a discussion, we have something I like to call a "Let Me Rec You" post. You comment with anything (author, a word in the title, genre, character, anything) and people (this means you) get to reply with one or more book/comic titles ( Read more... )

She is one of my favorite writers lately. I'm dying for more of the Nightrunner Series.

(Catching up on LJ, hence the lateness. *g*)

Bone Dance by Emma Bull.
Also: The Left Hand of Darkness -- and then "Coming of Age in Karhide" from The Birthday of the World short story collection by Ursula LeGuin.

Lots of 'em, compiled for a long time. ;)

- "Warchild," "Burndive," and "Cagebird" by Karin Lowachee (series of three books, to be read in that order)
- "The Merro Tree" by Katie Waitman
- I third the recommendation of all of Lynn Flewelling's works
- "The Vintner's Luck" by Elizabeth Knox (smaller elements of fantasy)
- "Wicked Gentlemen" by Ginn Hale
- I've been told that Sarah Monette's "Melusine" series is good, but haven't read it myself
- "Swordspoint" and "The Privilege of the Sword" by Ellen Kushner
- "Imajica" by Clive Barker
- "Cyteen" by C. J. Cherryh

Whew, that's all I can think of at the moment.

Sing the Four Quarters by Tanya Huff has bisexuality appear to be the norm in that universe, though there's a couple of characters who appear to only be interested in one gender. (fantasy) Actually, most of Tanya Huff's fantasy books have that trait. Even the Blood series (urban fantasy, modern day) has at least one or two major queer characters.

And I can't imagine that the new book Palimpest (also uploaded recently) isn't completely ridiculously omnisexual.
