Thank you for having us read this book. I never had and the distance between this story and the Hollywood version is immeasurable. This book was complex and sad. #frankenstein

Friendly reminder. Read and discuss a groundbreaking book by a woman for #WomensHistoryMonth

Haha, that would be your article. :)

I decided to write an article. So far, I've got an opening paragraph. It's a start.

While I haven't read a ton of books I've been into audiobooks the last couple years and really enjoyed Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton. Her other books are also excellent and quite entertaining.

My claim to fame is that I saw Elvis in concert. That's about as fame as I get.

As a librarian, I really appreciate the journalists and researchers who take the time to correct any misinformation that gets posted here.

It doesn't matter if you're retired. Springing forward is still exhausting. But I like the staying light later part. I can go on walks late in the day and feel safe; you see, I'm a woman and have spent my whole life considering safety when going out and about by myself.

Happy Women's History Month.

I'm not going to pick a specific book, and I'm a fan of a lot of women authors. Two authors i will always read are J.D. Robb's In Death series and Louise Erdrich books
