Location: Seattle, WA		According to this site, I have read 90 listed authors from 2000 to 2013. Of those, only 12 were women, so this challenge doubled that total. Here are my ratings for the 12:

***** Syne Mitchell - The Changeling Plague
****½ Catherynne M. Valente - Deathless
**** Vonda N. McIntyre - Dreamsnake
***½ Mary Doria Russell - The Sparrow
***½ Karen Joy Fowler - Sarah Canary
***½ Sheri S. Tepper - The Gate to Women's Country
***½ Libba Bray - Going Bovine
***½ Lois McMaster Bujold - Shards of Honour
** C.J. Cherryh - Rusalka
*½ Elizabeth Moon - The Speed of Dark
* Kathe Koja - Cipher
½ Holly Black - Tithe

My "random" book was Shards of Honour. I hadn't chosen one yet, and bought a "Humble Bundle" of ebooks earlier in the year nearly sight unseen. I discovered among those books Shards, which qualified for the challenge. At 3½ stars, I was impressed enough to add the sequel to my reading list.
