It’s our third Women in SFF!

We’ve reached the end of our first week, and as ever, the response from the community has been absolutely fantastic! Every year we are always so humbled and grateful to see the love for this feature.

Each week, we’ll try and round up all this wonderful content into one summary-wrap-up post – if we’ve missed you, please comment and link below! We’d love to see the ways you’re taking part.

So, what have you all been up to…?

Reviews

We’re going to kick the wrap-up off with reviews, as that’s what we’re all here for really, right? Finding those books to add to our TBR!
