A tale honoring the Blackfeet Nation. Bright Star is an amazing character. I love how her strength and wisdom represent her people, and she is the love interest of the MC, who has been raised by the Blackfeet, and finds a way to protect his found family from the enemy: the greedy white man with their fur trading market, deceit, and violence. This was one of the first times (very early) that an author portrays the native Americans as the heroes and the ones the readers root fo

💚Praises for Wicked Witch of the West: The Enduring Legacy of a Feminist Icon by author Lona Bailey. 🩷I was absolutely in shock and at awe reading about the life of these women, what they went through as actresses and struggling as women and mothers in their society (generation). From the very first appearance of The Wivked Witch portraited by Margaret Hamilton to the modern versions of Wicked. Women associated with witches in our history is not a story that starts with thi

Some notes, no order of preference (you can find my reviews for these at goodreads). I copied the cover and cut them to fit like that, of some of the books because I read digital versions. Ain't Nobody's Fool the Life and Times of Dolly Parton by Matha Ackmann will be released Dec 30th. I enjoyed a copy of an audiobook by Macmillan in advance, and I devoured it. It brings an end to many rumors about her past and story. Adaptogens is a book of fun but also useful recipes for

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
