"I wanted to read this for a while! I'm doing an audio and I'm not certain that it was a right call, but sticking to it for now. I am reading this for the small nuances, so I might check out an e-copy as well..." — Jul 31, 2025 05:21PM

"This book is really making me wonder how it's going to use all of the pages that we still have left! But I am loving the writing style so it's not like I'm mad about there being more." — Jul 29, 2025 05:54PM

Jassmine’s Quotes

“Mom, whichever world you’re in, around ten percent of the people there will always feel out of place, and you’re among them. I’m one of those people who never feel out of place no matter where I am.”
― Sayaka Murata, Vanishing World

“Books and tales are as close as she can come to a place where magic is still real, where women and their words have power.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Once and Future Witches

“So, I will just share it here, because I truly believe that the only universal “body” is our breath, because breath is the only thing that all human bodies experience and as such, it is something we all must share, not just with each other, but, in one way or another, with all living things on earth. To this day, I still can’t think of a better way of truly breaking us free from the visual rut that the canon of Western art has left us languishing in, than the breath of an Indigenous Australian woman.”
― Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

“There’s nothing feminist about having so many resources at your fingertips and choosing to be ignorant. Nothing empowering or enlightening in deciding that intent trumps impact.”
― Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

“It turns out brushing her hair isn’t enough. Bella produces a stiff woolen dress from her office closet. It’s one of those respectable, pocketless affairs that obliges ladies to carry stupid little handbags, so Juniper can’t take so much as a melted candle-stub or a single snake tooth with her. Bella informs her that this is the precise reason why women’s dresses no longer have pockets, to show they bear no witch-ways or ill intentions, and Juniper responds that she has both, thank you very damn much.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Once and Future Witches
