" A Dowry of Blood is a delectable jewel of a tale, shimmering with dark, beautiful prose. A dark triumph.”- Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel The horror-pulsing and beautiful-comes as much from Constanta’s insights into her husband’s psychology as it does from bloodlust. “Seductive, lyrical, and rich with period detail, this daring retelling casts the Harkers' story aside to follow Dracula's medieval bride and her tangled romance with his consorts over the centuries. " A Dowry of Blood is an intoxicating perfume that lingers - an undying love story where beauty and horror clasp hands." - Rachel Gillig, author of One Dark Window A Dowry of Blood left me breathless."- Alexis Henderson, author The Year of the Witching "A thrilling and seductive Gothic rife with spine-tingling tension and dark romance. it will haunt you in the best possible way."- Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart "A dizzying nightmare of a romance that will leave you aching, angry and ultimately hopeful."- Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf "Stunningly gorgeous and devastatingly romantic, you won't want to miss this one!"- Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods This is a Dracula retelling unlike any other - undeniable and unforgettable."- Rose Szabo, author of What Big Teeth "A powerful take of possession and liberation. "- Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge Today, there are more readers interested in lesbian fiction than ever before, and the genre gains traction every day. The 50s and 60s brought a flood of queer interest into the literature world, with a famous example being Tereska Torres’ ‘Women’s Barracks’. The 1928 novel ‘The Well of Loneliness’ is often considered to be the first explicitly lesbian-themed novel written in English, but it certainly wasn’t the last. This trend continued with the swell of modern novel styles, with a few periods of works from the early 19th-century holding and implying strong lesbian themes very often even where the slightest male-to-male mention of homosexuality would have been picked up on immediately. There’s Sappho again for you – if only this Grecian poet knew the queer icon she’d turned out to be. Much to the contrary, lesbian fiction has been running strong for thousands of years, with some of the earliest recovered excerpts coming from as early as 2,500 years ago. Many people consider queer romance fiction to be a modern phenomenon from the era of the internet, especially when it pertains to young adults and contains YA themes, but much like bad-faith breakdowns of the connection between Sappho and her ‘friend’, they couldn’t be further from the truth. My main takeaway from Six of Crows is that I could not stop reading. But having finished The Merciful Crow, I can’t in good faith point Grishaverse fans there. Someone mentioned The Merciful Crow and it skyrocketed to the top of my TBR.Īt first glance, the comparison is obvious. And then Shadow and Bonegot turned into a Netflix show and all of a sudden everyone at work was talking about comparison titles. I knew it existed, obviously (I’m a bookseller and YA is my speciality), but it wasn’t one I’d ever picked up or perused or contemplated reading. Margaret Owen’s YA fantasy duology was not on my radar. The best way to get me to read something is to compare it to Six of Crows. However, it is possible to have a current favorite and right now-in May 2021-my favorite book is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. When you read as much as I do, and when you’ve had a lifelong love of reading, it’s impossible to have a single, all-time favorite book. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world-and now she wants to be friends? Nope.

How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Today’s feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. “My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist (as I do) will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect.”-Elizabeth Gilbert A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020Ī potent and electrifying critique of today’s feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminism |
