@runalongwomble Good Morning, Womble! This week in utopian reading I have finished Margaret Killjoy's A Country of Ghosts and I'm now reading Nisi Shawl's Everfair. Both highly recommended. (Although I've now done the 'Better Worlds Are Possible' (online) panel at #Chicon8).

@runalongwomble Morning, Womble! I'm currently half way through Cory Doctorow's Walkaway, which is fantastic. No excuse really for taking so long to get to it, but if anything it's probably even more relevant now than when it first came out 5 years ago.

New issue of ParSec with my reviews of Tamsyn Muir's Nona the Ninth and Lorraine Wilson's The Way the Light Bends. Lots of good stories too. Subscribe via @pspublishinguk https://t.co/lwYYGup4D9

@runalongwomble Morning, Womble! I'm currently finding my sea legs with Alastair Reynolds's Eversion.

But the inclusion of Mitchison in particular should be a no brainer. Memoirs of a Spacewoman is namechecked by Joanna Russ in the Khatru Symposium. Gwyneth Jones refers to it many times. My paperback copy is from NEL's SF Masterwork series, ed by Aldiss & Harrison.

As I'm currently reading Izumi Suzuki's Hit Parade of Tears, it seems appropriate to share my review of the first collection of her stories, Terminal Boredom (both volumes published by Verso). https://t.co/D78RmdESGt

Read Cold Comfort Farm a fair few times but never noticed this suffragette reference (biblical as well, obvs) before now despite writing a chapter about the same ref in Naomi Mitchison's The Corn King and the Spring Queen. https://t.co/QSCV02QaVX
