Hundle Bumble: Fierce Women of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror

Bundle of female-author genre fiction, ePub format:

Quote:
Male-dominated genre fiction? Not in this bundle. There are tons of talented women working within the realms of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, and for our latest deal we’ve teamed up with Open Road Media to offer over 60 of the best, most unique, and most unforgettable books from icons of female written fiction. In this ebook collection, you’ll meet an immortal water witch who dreams of releasing the great Leviathan in Cherie Priest’s Fathom. You’ll run from zombies with intrepid news reporters in Mira Grant’s Feedback. You’ll puzzle over an elderly woman’s dual sets of memories (and children) in Jo Walton’s My Real Children. You’ll immerse yourself in stories of Caribbean folklore and fantasy in Nalo Hopkinson’s Skin Folk. There’s so much more to enjoy in this great bundle, so grab it now at the price of your choosing, and support young adult mental health charity Active Minds with your purchase!
Ends January 30.

Tough decisions. I am missing enough of the books in this bundle that I would like to own, that it is almost worthwhile to purchase but not enough to make it an automatic purchase.

But are they any good?

I already have the Andre Norton novels in the bundle, which is the only author I recognized.

I've enjoyed work from several of the authors - Kate Elliott, Mira Grant, Jo Walton, Nancy Kress, Elizabeth Bear. Vonda M. McIntyre and Robin McKinley are authors I've heard good things about too.

Do I need to repeat each time that you can change your region in the Humble Bundle settings?

I can vouch for the Schanoes collection. Burning Girls is one of my favorite stories, and the rest of the collection is also good.

Got it. Thank goodness for Opera; I have about half the bundle already, but there was enough that it was worth it to clear out more print books...

In the end, I had 17 of the 65 titles already, plus some omnibuses where I had the individual titles. I've been able to clear titles out of my wishlist (and add new ones...)

VPN doesn't help you in this case, as the region of your humblebundle account is taken into consideration.

You need to change your HumbleBundle account to be in the US as well as using the VPN (I normally use Chrome; for these bundles I switch to Opera with the built-in VPN). Also, remember to use PayPal or similar not a credit/debit card.

What I did was the following:
- Used VPN to spoof US location
- Used unregisered e-mail, that is not tied to my account (don't want to risk my main account)
- During payment, stripe didn't care about my CC location
