Time-travelling lesbians

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.
