Wiscon Homework!
So there's a bunch of books I really want to read before Wiscon. And it'll be March tomorrow. Eep. So here's my homework assignment between now and then.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin. I'm also reviewing this for Triple Take, so I should finish it soonish.
Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu. Also anything else by her, but I know I have this.. somewhere. As I bought it last Wiscon!
In the same vein, something by Mary Anne Mohanraj, though I'm not sure I have anything.
Writing the Other by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward. I think I bought this at my first Wiscon and I really, really need to read it.
The Wiscon Chronicles um.. whatever number the last one was. Just to get me in the mood.
The Secret Feminist Cabal by Helen Merrick. Because I suspect people will be talking about it. I need to get my hands on a copy first.
This year's Tiptree winner(s), once that's announced.
And then whatever reading I feel I should do for whatever panels I end up on, if any.
Any suggestions for which Mohanraj I should read? Or an additional Okorafor?
Anything else I should read so I won't feel clueless?
