Silvana Paath
Bookaneer
Silvana Paath lives in West Java, Indonesia. Science fiction and fantasy is her staple food ever since she watched Xena the Warrior Princess and Star Trek: TNG. She has read more than 100 SFF works in 2020 and became a Hugo voter since 2019. She is one of the co-founders of Westeros Indonesia (@WesterosID), the country's fanclub for A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. It is her hope that Indonesia would be able to host a WorldCon.
She spends her time reading and discussing books and media in various (read: too many) SFF groups in Goodreads. She also enjoys interacting with authors, creators, and fellow fans at Twitter. Her dream is to become a Lady Astronaut, but for now she's happy to read more space SF with great female and non-binary leads.
