From Goodreads: Blending the iconoclastic feminism of The Notorious RBG and the confident irreverence of Go the F**ck to Sleep, a brazen and empowering illustrated collection that celebrates inspirational badass women throughout history, based on the popular Tumblr blog. Well-behaved women seldom make history. Good thing these women are far from well behaved . . . … Continue reading Rejected Princesses

Back in 2018, I tried to read as much fiction in translation from as many different countries as possible. A friend recommended Carsten Jensen's 'We, The Drowned' to me, so I bought a copy... and never read it. There are several unread tomes on my shelves, and I am going to make an effort to read them in 2020. . . . #wethedrowned #carstenjensen #bigbooks #tomes #tbr #2020tbr #toread #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #booksintranslation #translatedfiction #readtheworld
I first read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising books when I was in elementary school, and am now on my third or fourth reread. I love the story and the imagery. It always seems to be a different book whenever I come back to it. . . . #susancooper #thedarkisrising #greenwitch #arthurianlore #books #fantasynovels #yafantasy #favoritebooks #tbr #bookstack #bookstagram
I wanted to start reading Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin last night, but by the time I got home and finished doing all the annoying housekeeping, I was too tired to read anything, and went to bed. Oh well. Maybe tonight. . . . #winterstale #winterreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #blue #booklove #tbr #toread
My December TBR. Not as many books as other months, but a lot of pages.

There are some books that, from the first page, you just know are going to be wonderful. That is the case with The Tiger's Daughter by K Arsenault Rivera. I am about 100 pages into it and am loving this gorgeously written story about two women who have loved each other from childhood and have a great destiny before them. . . . #thetigersdaughter #karsenaultrivera #newfavorites #amreading #currentreads #bookstagrammer #instabook #bookstagram #fantasynovels #theirbrightascendancy
There is a snowstorm on the way, and I would rather stay at home and read instead of going to work. . . I have read parts of The Sagas of Icelanders, but there are plenty of stories I still need to get to. I plan to remedy that this winter. . . . #sagas #sagasoftheicelanders #icelandicsagas #bookstagram #tbr #toread #winterreads #booksforasnowday
