Confession: I don't do tag posts. I just really ... do not. I love answering questions, and being tagged is delightful, but I am just incredibly lazy and thoughtless, so end up tagging nobody in return. Thus, if you're reading this post, tag you're it. (Answer these questions, promote women authors, it's all good)
Your favourite book written by a woman
The Scorpio Races | Maggie Stiefvater
The last book you read that was written by a woman
City of Lost Souls | Cassandra Clare
Your favourite non-fiction book written by a woman
(not entirely sure it counts but...) Mythology | Edith Hamilton
Your favourite series written by a woman
The Demon's Lexicon | Sarah Rees Brennan
(Honourable mention to every series ever by Cassandra Clare)

Tahereh Mafi, Jennifer Rush, Sarah J. Maas
A book you love, written by a female author, that you don't think enough people have heard of
Inside Out | Maria V. Snyder
One woman writer you've been meaning to read but haven't yet

Your favourite female-written book that people often look down on

Your favourite female friendship in a book written by a woman

The Percy Jackson series | Rick Riordan (I liked it but didn't really love it, and I'd like to see a woman rewrite it. Preferably J.K. Rowling, if you're gonna do something do it in style.)
Crap, I totally meant to include PJO in my answer for that one, too.
ReplyDeleteYaaaaaasssss Blue Sargent!!! Oh man now when I eventually get around to reading the rest of the Percy Jackson books I'm just gonna be bummed that they weren't written by JK Rowling.
