This is a great poetry collection that has it's inspiration in fairy tales!
17. Alif the Unseen by G.Willow Wilson
I don't remember where I heard about this book, but when I heard that jinn are an important part of this story, I was in!! I love reading about jinn and this book really deepened my understanding of jinn, which is fantastic. But this story is also about the Arab Spring, which is also really interesting and important. I really look forward to reading more by G. Willow Wilson. I hope to read something by her told by a female narrator.
18. The Armored Saint by Myke Cole
This book is not really for me even though it was really well-written and is a fight against tyranny- all good things. I'm just looking for a lack of tyranny in my life right now!
19. Fox 8 by George Saunders
This was a moving tale told by a fox. I loooooved it!!! It's so short I don't want to give anything away, but I loved it!!!
20. Ways to Hide in Winter by Sarah St. Vincent
I have no memory of how this book made it onto my library holds list, but I am oh so happy it did!!!! Set in winter in rural Pennsylvania, it centers around a young woman working in an oh so quiet store near a pair of old defunct quarries. I love the writing! It's so beautiful and the tone it creates!! Love it!
I've read 20 books so far and 14 were by women, 5 by men, and 1 by mostly women. My year of reading lots of women is still going strong!!
