JUST NOW I was wondering, "When do they announce the Tiptree awards, anyway?"
And they did!
I have not read their selection, Baba Yaga Laid an Egg, but it sounds intriguing! Of the honor books and long list, a thumbs-up to The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, Who Fears Death, and Ash!
(And no thumbs down to any of the other works, which I have not read -- though I know Passion Play was pretty controversial).
Why have I not read Gullstruck Island? Why have I not read The Secret Feminist Cabal?
Answer: because The Secret Feminist Cabal is not available on Kindle, at the local bookstores, or at either NYPL or BPL. I will have to see if I can get a copy at WisCon.* Wasn't Gullstruck Island published as middle grade? I do love a good middle grade book, but the obligatory YA reading tends to shoulder it out lately.
*Yes, I've heard of that thing called Amazon. I do not mail-order if I can help it because it's a pain to get things sent to my apartment and just slightly less of a pain to have things sent to the library.
And they did!
