Welcome to Litsy!

After really disliking the way Cixin Liu writes female characters, I wanted to read some Chinese Sci-Fi written by women. So this collection came in handy and showed me a different kind of Chinese Sci-Fi. Especially the essays were interesting to read. The one about the connection of the internet and female writings in China was eye opening. As for the stories - I liked some and some I didn't. That's they way it goes with collections.

First library haul with my new rainbow book bag! It looks great AND fits perfectly in my rear basket.

Admittedly, it does fit BETTER when it‘s stuffed full of books, and my holds list only coughed out three this week: the first English-language anthology of Chinese SF by people who aren‘t dudes, Xiran Jay Zhao‘s first MG offering, and the last Vlad Taltos novel I haven‘t read. I also grabbed a local interest architecture book off the shelf.
