pickThis is an interesting book of short descriptions of women authors of early gothic stories to present day. I don‘t consider myself much of a horror or speculative fiction reader, but I enjoy reading a wide variety. There were several authors I have read and plenty more that piqued my interest. I enjoyed the listen, but a print copy would be ideal for better noting books to add to a TBR.

I'm finding this audiobook fascinating.

Today I learned that J.R.R. Tolkien & Edith (his future wife) spent time in tea shops as teens throwing sugar cubes into the hats of unsuspecting ladies.
This is a graphic novel biography of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and so far I‘m intrigued by how it‘s put together. It‘s also nice to read something a bit lighter about them.

I feel I haven‘t read much nonfiction this year,
so I‘m trying to remedy that with some #NonfictionNovember choices. I‘ve started this audiobook about female authors of horror & speculative fiction. It‘s fascinating & mentions a good mix of authors with whom I‘m familiar as well as others unknown to me. Each section gives a bit of author information & a reading list.

So, I switched one of my wild cards with this month‘s pick “The Ravine” because I didn‘t want to have to decide between it and my other pick from this month (Pageboy) immediately. It may still come to that, but I‘ll have had more time to process.

so-soThis is an interesting piece of WWII history, but I was disappointed in the book itself. It seemed to skip over some key aspects of the initial Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands. The stories of the different people didn‘t make the impact I expected and felt somewhat disjointed. It may be even harder for young readers without any prior knowledge to follow the course of events.

pickA well researched biography on Jeanette Rankin, the first woman to be in Congress. I was immensed in this book. The life Rankin lived was fascinating. She saw WWI, WWII and Vietnam. She did so much in her life that women are benefiting from today, as well as America.
Rinehart takes you on the journey of Rankin's life. Rinehart wrote this book so you feel as you are right there beside Rankin. She let's you travel along with Rankin ⬇️
pickLewis does some interesting storytelling in this graphic memoir. I like the way he represents his anxiety, and uses the man points and character selection to convey his dysphoria. Moving through your late teens early 20s while also transitioning can definitely be complicated and I'm glad he shares his story here. #LGBTQIA #Nonfiction #Comics
