As pointed out on FB

Regarding Jemisin's The Fifth Season:

What a waste of time. I very disappointed in this book---no characters, no plot, not even pages! It turns out it doesn't actually exist at this point, and not for another year, so trying to read it now is fruitless. How are these other people rating it at 4 or more? WTF?

As I hand-fed treats to the cats

I suddenly remembered why Ibid's original name was Bitey.

(Groucho is even riskier to hand-feed)

So, another idea

This is a genuinely impressive collection of reviews but in 64 reviews, there are only five books by women, three of them by Le Guin.

In addition to hoping to replace the Heinlein reviews, once I am done, I am also thinking of dedicating one day a week to Anglospheric specfic by women, drawing from the entire history of ASF ("entire history" defined in my usual self-serving way). Maybe I will call it Women Did Too Write Science Fiction.
