Stories have the power to reshape how we see women—and sometimes, how women see themselves. THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST: THE ENDURING LEGACY OF A FEMINIST ICON by Dr. Lona Bailey reclaims one of fiction’s most maligned women and reframes her as a lasting symbol of strength, rebellion, and autonomy. Bailey explores how the Wicked Witch has evolved across more than a century of literature, film, and feminist thought, transforming from an emblem of fear into a figure of power a

Book 2 is THE QUEENS OF CRIME. I loved this one more than the first, and I liked the first a lot, too. Review 4.5 This novel makes the characters more interesting to follow. The British female authors of mystery novels decide to form a club to support each other and gain respect in a man's world. To do this, they decide to solve a real murder mystery instead of just conjuring them from fiction. The opportunity appears when a single young woman, a nurse, shows up dead. The con

The Humans, Catch-22 & Sociopath. @simonbooks #simonbooksbuddy #simonbuddyreads thank you for the copy of Humans Review of The Humans: 5 stars From the author of A boy Called Christmas I love books where robots or aliens try to make sense of what humanity is and even after pointing out all flaws and inconsistencies they still prefer the pain and struggle of becoming human than living in their perfect organized existence. This is one of the stories. At first, I thought the mai

Like Santa leaves gifts on the 24th (December) night, the Kings leave on the 5th (January). ❤️ This book explains well what Kings Day is and even i

The After World: a novel Review Available in paperback (love this editions cover) 5 stars What a bleak, awesome, creative, masterful, apocalyptic dystopian novel that subtly pays homage to many works published before of the same genre without being obvious. It is meta in many ways, futuristic, unrealistic, yet completely possible as a future for our demise as a human race, ignoring climate change. The narrator is unique, and the last pages will turn the entire novel into some
