Book Review: The Furies: Women, Vengeance and Justice by Elizabeth Flock
Format: ebookPublished: January 9th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Non-Fiction – True Crime – Social JusticeGoodreads Rating: 5/5 Stars This book is fantastic, infuriating, upsetting, and inspiring in equal measure.

Format: ebookPublished: May 7th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Historical – LiteraryGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars This wasn’t a bad book, but it’s much more introspective, character and atmosphere driven than I usually like. I found it to be quite meandering; although it’s relatively short it felt like it took a long while to get anywhere, and the endingContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’Connor”
