    Help! I need book rec's. I want fiction or memoirs, by women, no serial killers or dead kids, and not fantasy/scifi.

        @avantgame why, by women? Seems arbitrary. Margaret Weis.

        @templestark because women write more about emotions and relationships and that is what I want to read about. Now you justify your prefs :)

        @avantgame ;). I've honestly never thought about what sex a writer is; it still seems a generalization... but more power. I like narrative.

        @avantgame : "The Green Glass Sea" by Ellen Klages. Young adult book but lots of depth. Historical setting interesting (Los Alamos in WWII).
