⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I throughly enjoyed this book.
It felt like a 'Battle Cry' book with a side dish of hatred, witchcraft, taking no shit, standing up for other woman.
Definitely one of my favourites.

I have been after books from Amanda Lovelace and Courtney Peppernell for a while now but they where too expensive but on World of Books I got a great deal, and we all know Nikita Gill is just fabulous author so that went too 😀

A gorgeous book. A beautiful collection of poems that I felt spoke to the fiery woman deep inside all of us. A lesson in reclaiming the power of our ancestors who have been wronged for being strong and powerful. Generational female trauma is slowly beginning to be gealed with literature such as this 🖤🔥🖤

This was such a great read. The poems were so relevant to what‘s happening right now. I would strongly recommend reading this poetry collection. This definitely one of my favorite poetry books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful, amazing, and inspiring. This book somehow had me wanting to cuddle with my boyfriend, happy that I managed to find one of the good ones, but also inspired me to finish writing all the stories I started and never finished because I thought I could never make it as a writer. Amanda Lovelace is an amazing poet and I really love that she includes poems that encourage her readers to follow their dreams and write their own stories or poems.

this is not a witch tale.

My first Amanda Lovelace, this is a collection of fiery, feminist poems, empowering women to stand up for their rights, be courageous, and be a survivor. There are a few inspiring poems, but most sounded like angry rants which is not my cup of tea. Pick for it‘s important message/content.

#jennyis30 #feminism

Lovelace is definitely conveying a lot of anger towards men here, but rightfully so if she is representing women who have been raped, abused, ignored, and degraded by men. Many poems are closer to short prose, there is definitely empowerment galore, and I was impressed by how she linked them all together with fire. I have certainly been made to feel “less-than” as a woman in my life and found myself nodding my head in solidarity.

After DNFing this book last year, I attempted this collection of poetry again. Overall, this is a scathing book of feminist poetry that rages against the patriarchy and advocates self-love and embracing womanhood. I enjoyed the topics that were mentioned, such as the 2016 election and the 2017 Women‘s March, but I found that a good portion of the “poetry” inside this book weren‘t really poems but just statements.

This 👆🏻👏🏻

This was an interesting anthology of poems focusing on feminism, empowerment, identity, self-love, and fighting the patriarchy. It also explores themes of sisterhood, pays homage to various other literary texts, and even the 2017 Women‘s March is written about. #FBCReadathon

...the abuse & disregard for women

So, I had heard about this one for a while now. And I felt like I “should read it“ to see what all the fuss is about.

#MayBookBingo #Challenge #LibraryBingo

This was a year long audiobook bingo :) almost done :)

#bookishbingo #audiobookbingo #Challenge

I didn't hate it. I just think maybe I picked the wrong format (audio). It was very angry and she repeats words for a super (feels like forever) long of time to where I thought the audio didn't download appropriately. So yeah... its more of a so-so. It also might have been the wrong time for me read a book like this one

I‘m excited to start this one. I had never really listened to a poetry book before but ... it being read by the author is pretty exciting :)

You can tell these poems are angry from the first page just because the ink is all in red. With a title about witches burning, what‘d you expect? That‘s exactly what these poems go after; women being left behind in history. The women being told she‘s too dramatic, too loud. The book progresses into the poems becoming the witch tired of being burnt, and ready to burn the world around her. Not much of a fan of the aggression, but so much raw feeling

❤❤❤❤❤

I'm running out of poetry books. 😢

#poetrymatters

While I enjoyed most of her first collection, I find that this one just didn't resonate with me.
Certain style choices like the constant use of hyphens kind of threw me off as I read it, and made it seem more disjointed.

I will most like still check out her other stuff though, because the poems that worked for me, really worked.

2.5/5 Stars (rounding up to three on sites with star systems)

I don't generally read poetry, but I did enjoy these. I'm definitely going to check out her first collection.

Truth!

Started off kinda meh but definitely got better. Great first book of the new year.

First coffee of the decade at 430 pm... Doing something right so far!

I learned alot from reading this poetry collection but you should be warned a lot of the poems are difficult to read. In the sense of the content is very hard to hear.

I've seen some mixed reviews but I really enjoyed this poetry collection.

This one was longer than the other books but just wonderfully written. She tells a story about witches and then does poems about rape and feminism. Kudos to just making us women feel important in this day and age with your strong words. Simply beautiful.
5 stars

I know this is not the intended meaning but this made me laugh a little because it's a few days until Thanksgiving.

Since I was off today I made pumpkin chocolate chip bread.

I was completely drawn in and devoured this in one sitting.
🔥 #nontheme #teamslaughter #scarathlon

And this is yet another book that I bailed on. I enjoyed Lovelace‘s previous “the princess saves herself in this one”, but this one is a lot angrier and felt a bit anti-men. I also thought that some of the poems I had made it through needed some work or were basically just phrases with spaces in between them. I will have to attempt this one again at another time.
