I reviewed the anthology Letters to Tiptree, edited by Alexandra Pierce and Alisa Krasnostein, for Strange Horizons. 2015 is the centennary of Tiptree's birth, and the anthology is well worth a read.

I reviewed the latest five volumes of Yoshinaga Fumi's epic alternate history manga Ôoku at Strange Horizons. I really recommend this manga to anyone interested in feminist speculative fiction: it's great.

I was too distracted by the tweets coming out of Sasquan to mention this in a timely fashion, but: my review of Marie Brennan's The Tropic of Serpents and Voyage of the Basilisk is up at Strange Horizons. I enjoyed the first book, but these two are even better, and I'm looking forward to the next one very much.

My review of Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean is up at Strange Horizons. This is a really great, interesting, boundary-crossing anthology, and I definitely recommend it.

My review of The Highroad Trilogy (A Path of Stars, Revolution's Shore, The Price of Ransom) by Kate Elliott is up at SF Mistressworks.

I recently discovered this blog via Abigail Nussbaum's Hugo nomination posts; results of that process aside, the blog is a trove of reviews of SF by women, and I've quite enjoyed poking through its archives.

After a long hiatus on this platform, I'm back and should be posting more regularly. My other struggle is to keep my Goodreads account something approaching updated--a struggle, because I find Goodreads to be desperately uncongenial in many ways, other than the presence of my friends.

In the interim I've moved to Tokyo for other reasons entirely, so the icon is appropriate, even if I keep forgetting to redye my hair a la Mako Mori.

If I ever write a book that is popular enough for people to jump through the hoops of downloading it illegally, I will be very happy indeed.
