No wonder we're still dealing with misogyny and having to hammer home the idea of consent. Some really interesting history here that's not often touched upon because royal mistresses haven't been considered "important" enough to the overall historical narrative. There are some fascinating woman discussed in this book and I want to read biographies of them all.

I'm loving how global and inclusive this book tries to be. I've only really heard about Western female pirates. It's nice to find historical heroines from other cultures.

This book has hands down, my favorite opening page ever.

While I'm enjoying learning more about the Grisha, I'm really hoping that Alina starts taking an active role in her fate sometime soon.

You had me at panoply Mr. Nix. I'll stay for the talking dogs.

I've never really been able to get into spider-man before and now I think that's because I don't really like Peter Parker as a character. Spider-Verse presents us with so many alternate versions of spider-man/spider-woman/spider-whatever that I can enjoy all the fun of the Spider-man comics without getting hung up on how much I don't like Peter Parker.

This book has one of the most powerful openings I've read in a while. I was breathless from the first line.

Researching a story about a Captain's wife that I want to write.

Loving it. Combines elements of some of my favorite things: Jane Austin, Treasure Planet, L.A. Meyer's Bloody Jack. I'm having a great time.

Why didn't I know about Aliette de Bodard sooner?

I love this series so much. It's great to be back in Stormwrack with Sophie.

One of the best collections of short stories I've ever read.

Beautifully written, but definitely slow in the pacing and hard to engage with.

This book is so good! I want to skip work to finish it, but I need to work so I can buy every single book Catherynne Valente's ever written.
