This book was far from the comfort reading I needed, but it’s very good, well researched, and definitely worth reading.
How to Suppress Women’s Writing

The Nightingale
Apparently I enjoyed listening to this audiobook so much that I completely forgot about it. Good thing my book club decided to refresh my memory.
Wives and Daughters
Romance, science, patriarchy, sisterhood, female friendships, money, hierarchy, aristocracy, the status quo. It’s all in Gaskell’s last novel.
The Song of Achilles
This book hit home in a way I hadn’t been expecting, but it was oddly comforting and I don’t regret having read it when I did.
Mrs. Bridge
I wasn’t sure about this book at first, but I ended up enjoying it more than some members of my book club.
2 A.M. At The Cat’s Pajamas
I’m not sure this book is the fairy tale retelling I was made to believe it is, and it’s sadder than I had been expecting, but still worth reading.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web
If you can’t give me enough Lisbeth Salander to keep me interested, I’m not going to come back to this series – especially when the writing is so awful!
The Girls in the Picture
This book was not as feminist as it would have you believe, and it was super white-washed to boot.
Pride
I always love an updated version of one of my all-time favorite books.
Vox
This book makes for some fun thrillers, and while it makes some interesting points, I wouldn’t put it on anyone’s must-read list.
