3 stars I was very excited to read this book after it was described as a feminist retelling of fairy tales. But I was kind of disappointed by the stories. Some were good, but others were very confusing and just weird. The writing was very complex, which I think was good and bad at the…

5 stars\ I absolutely love Jessica Valenti’s work and this book was no exception. This is a great primer for feminism. Valenti uses her characteristic causal style (with lots of slang and swearing), which isn’t for everyone, but definitely makes for an interesting and enjoyable read. The book is written in a way that is…

4 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. This is definitely a very cool format for a biography. Overall, I really liked the book. The artwork was superb. It was very interesting and often humorous (can’t go wrong with depicting Joyce vomiting). I did feel like…

4 stars I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I have not played Minecraft myself, but was still able to understand the story with my basic knowledge. A fun, fast, easy to read adventure that is silly and often humorous. A nice light read. Trish was a relatable character who really proves herself in terms…

2 stars I watched the miniseries a long time ago (on VHS, to give you an idea), so I had a vague idea of what Storm of the Century was about going into this, but when I saw a copy in the Little Free Lending Library, I felt like I had to give it a…

2 stars While I absolutely love retellings of classic stories, this one was just not for me. Basically a much more raunchy version of Bella Swan travels to Wonderland/Underground in a confusing yet predictable story filled with a bunch of random things that have nothing to do with the original tale. The story itself was…

4 stars This is a phenomenal collection of poetry. Insightful, enlightening, humorous, heartbreaking, lyrical, amazing. The range of topics and style makes each poem feel unique. I really loved the flow and rhythm of the poems. Some of my favorites were “Phenomenal Woman”, “Willie”, “One More Round”, “Still I Rise”, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me”, “In…

3 stars I received this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review.As far as I’m concerned, everyone should know about Victoria Woodhull and this book is a great place to start. I’ll admit, I had never heard of her before winning this book, but I am so glad that I was able to…

5 stars I basically inhaled this book it was so good. I read most of it on Sunday, then woke up early on Monday to finish it before work. This was a fantastic read. Gilly is a great heroine and I love that she is strong, yet vulnerable. her character is very believable.I also really…

3 stars This is a very fun adventure tale. I love Magnolia’s character. She is strong and capable, but still vulnerable and unsure of herself and her new position at times. She is a very realistic character and I loved watching her strength grow throughout the book. I enjoyed this story. A fun read for…
