Amal El-Mohtar had a column in the Guardian last week covering a number of recent books about time-travelling lesbians. This strikes me as a good reading project. The book list from the article is:

  • This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
  • Alice Payne Arrives by Kate Heartfield
  • Alice Payne Rides by Kate Heartfield
  • The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley
  • The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas
  • Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach by Kelly Robson
  • The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz

I have only read part of one of these (the Kelly Robson) which I started for Hugo Award reasons and found a struggle so didn't finish, but I've been told by multiple people since that it absolutely rewards pushing through to the end. So I'm going to start with that.

I just picked up The Light Brigades from the library so will def report back! I’ve read the first Alice Payne and wasn’t wild about it, but some of that was because it’s incomplete as a stand alone.
