Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo | Taylor Jenkins Reid

pick

A blisteringly great summer read that was a real page turner. Said to be a loose weaving of the lives of Gina Pareño, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardener and Rita Hayworth rolled into one it certainly leaves you with the sense that Evelyn was a real historical figure! Loved the strong #femalecharacters who through the journey told over decades, discover themselves and the real value of life. Great twist at the end, a recommended read!

The Lucky One | Lori Rader-Day

pick

Kidnapping survivor Alice is smart yet cautious, staying safely in her father‘s shadow. She & fellow true crime website fans try to solve cold cases, until she spots her kidnapper! Good, twisty thriller with interesting 30 year old female characters. One scene involving a burglary didn‘t come together as well as the rest of the book, but it‘s a fun read by the author of the excellent “Little Pretty Things.” #thriller #coldcases #femalecharacters

Celebrating Women's History: A Women's History Month Resource Book | Mary Ellen Snodgrass

March is #NationalWomensHistoryMonth. Are any of you planning to read any particular books to celebrate?? I tend to read books written by #femaleauthors anyway, but I think I‘ll throw in a #feminist book for good measure 🤗📚Any book recommendations??? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Bourriquet76 My reading habits are similar. I‘m about due for a reread of Handmaid‘s Tale. 7y

Jess7 I haven‘t read that one yet and have been wanting to for some time. Maybe we can read it together and discuss! @Bourriquet76 7y

rwmg When I reckoned it up I found that just taking books as they come my M/F ratio was about 2:1 but then last year when I made a conscious effort to give women writers priority the M/F ratio was about 1:2, so this year I'm making women writers a priority every other month. 7y

kgriffith Tag me if you share a book list, I‘m working on the LibraryThing page for March! Example: Feb‘s Black History Month page: https://librarything.libguides.com/book-lists-02-18 7y

TheResistance I've just started reading 'Notes of a Crocodile' (female original author and female translator = twice the fempowerment?). 7y

MissAimz_55 I noticed that I tend to read more women authors. I am reading Nasty Women right now (book of essays about living in a world with trump as the president). I also am going to read Pussy! A Reclamation. I have Difficult Women by Roxanne Gay and Rad American Women A-Z on my Libby shelf. 7y

MissAimz_55 I just added How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran, What She Ate by Laura Shapiro, and Almost Famous Women by Megan Mayhew Bergman to my TBR list but i don't know if I'll get to them this month. 7y

She-Hulk Vol. 1: Law And Disorder | Charles Soule

One of my fave #FemaleCharacters for the #AugustPhotoChallenge is She-Hulk a/k/a Jennifer Walters.

I love her character as hero & lawyer. Unlike many superheroes, esp female ones, her career & life are on display & she rocks both. Her superhero abilities don't only rely on her strength & skill, but also her intelligence, down to business attitude & perseverance. Also she's GREEN ALL THE TIME. How could I not love that?! ⚖💼👠💪🏼🏋🏽
