Eddis, Attolia, Sounis

I don't consciously seek out writers of one gender or the other, but considering that the four books I got at the library today were all by women, I probably do pay more attention to it than I thought I did. They were, by the way, Francine Prose, Nancy Kress, Connie Willis, and Jo Walton, and I almost got a book by Diana Wynne Jones as well, but decided that four books in three weeks was probably going to be plenty, since I'm supposed to be paying attention to grad school. But I definitely go through phases of male writers as well.
