Looking at my shelves I’m noticing I read very few female authors and I’d like to change that. I read science fiction and fantasy mostly, but have been experimenting with some classics as well. As far as insight into my taste, my favorite authors are Gene Wolfe, Tolkien, Steven Erikson, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut. Open to suggestions across different genres, thanks in advance.

Fonda Lee author of the Green one Saga – urban fantasy where magic jade gives wire-fu powers. Fantasy meets old Hong Kong action movies and crime drama
Octavia Butler – start with The Parable of the Sower. The most realistic dystopian sci-fi out there.
Martha Wells – my personal favorite. Murderbot. You’ve heard of Murderbot right? Go read Murderbot.
