5 stars I absolutely loved this book. Part memoir, part literary analysis. Part self-help book, part writing guide. This book has a little bit of everything. Ellis journeys back in time and rereads some of her favorite heroines as an adult and analyses them in a feminist light. Connecting these to her own life events…

3 stars Reading this book for the first time as an adult was a little difficult, because it was kind of boring and Margaret’s character was so naive and annoying. But I see its value for young readers. Margaret is relatable for the most part (except her excitement about getting her period. “I can’t wait…

3 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. To be honest, this was kind of a difficult book to read because of the subject matter as well as the overall flow of the book. The main components of the book are an autobiography, poetry, and photography….

4 stars Awesome book! Beautiful and inspirational! I really enjoyed this book. The artwork was phenomenal and is a great place to start to get young readers interesting in empowering woman. I liked that Chin-Lee used the women’s first names/given names rather than their family names for each letter. This helped put the focus on…

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…
