I'm about halfway through my second read of the first book in the #Steerswoman series. Any other fans here?

Am now at #Readercon32 after a negative COVID test! (A Lucira NAAT.)

This weekend I am especially looking forward to chatting with other #Readercon participants who enjoy #Steerswoman, or who love the works of @zencho or @naomikritzer or @rebeccafraimow. I am also on the board of the Otherwise (formerly Tiptree) Award and happy to talk about that! https://otherwiseaward.org/

@brennen Weirdly this was before I read the #Steerswoman books 😅

The steerswomen, as an organization, are very serious about their code but they also have a low tolerance for bullshit, and individual steerswomen seem to be comfortable interpreting the rules creatively according to situational context. #steerswoman

@dansolomon And in the end, the only reason anyone will keep visiting Twitter is because there’s a stuck-in-their-ways author still posting there and everyone really just wants them to announce the next book in their long-unfinished magnum opus fantasy series.

What?

I’m talking about #RosemaryKirstein and The #Steerswoman series. Who did you think I meant?

#7BooksToKnowMe

- Nine Princes in #Amber by #RogerZelazny
- The #Steerswoman by #RosemaryKirstein
- Trout Fishing in America by Richard #Brautigan
- #Xenogenesis by #OctaviaButler
- The Age of Spiritual Machines by #RayKurzweil
- #PIHKaL by #AlexanderShulgin
- #FeminismIsForEverybody by #bellhooks

The frame of “books to know me” was interesting. Haven’t consciously thought about some of these books in years, but I guess it’s not meant to be seven books taking up the most space in my head.

@aleen Rosemary Kirstein’s #Steerswoman series is my standard “cozy fantasy” recommendation, one of my all-time favorite #FantasySeries of all time.
