I'd greatly appreciate some suggestions for books with well written, satisfying girl-meets-girl love stories. This can be the focal point of the book or a side plot, but here's the catch: unless it's an absolute must-read, I'd very much prefer the books suggested to fall into the fantasy or science fiction genres, or have a classic pseudo-medieval setting. I'd also rather read something that doesn't beat one over the head with feminist rhetoric, GRRRL POWER or (current) politics. I guess the male equivalent would be something like Mercedes Lackey's "Last Herald-Mage" series.

I am planning on reading "Ash" by Melinda Lo, which is a retelling of Cinderella where the Prince loses his princess to his huntress. Sounds like a fun read.

Thanks in advance, fellow bibliophiles! :)

Hi there.

I am very interested in reading Michael Moorcock's 'Elric of Melnibone' series. However there seem to be so many books in the series I am confused by which one to start with! If there are any Elric fans on this community I would be so greatful if you could tell me which book i should begin with. Thank you very much ^^

In September 2009, Seanan McGuire published her first novel Rosemary and Rue. This urban fantasy debut quickly received attention as one of the best debuts of 2009. Now the multi-talented author has three new books scheduled for publication in 2010. Two are continuations of her Toby Daye series: A Local Habitation and An Artificial Night. The third will be published under the pseudonym 'Mira Grant' and will be titled Feed. As McGuire says: "Who needs sleep?"

Today author Seanan McGuire is answering questions at Book Love Affair. Go leave a comment to ask this wonderful author what you'd like to know! (Also, participating in the interview earns extra entries in the BLA Leviathan giveaway!)
