pickMy 2nd Lisa See this year. Like her blend of history and narrative. This takes place in 20th century on jeju, an island of south Korea, occupied by the Japanese when story opens. Cold water adventure/hardship is bracing. #atlasreads #vicariousadventure #sealife #wetfields #matriarchy #lisaseefangirl
@Come-read-with-me sent me a copy of this book and I‘m really enjoying it. It reminds me so much of a French movie I saw on Netflix, where gender norms/roles are completely reversed. In it, a man who isn‘t very kind to womxn wakes up in a world controlled by them! Highly recommended. Anyway, @Come-read-with-me also sent me the pink hat I‘m wearing here. THANK YOU!!!
Go on then. My response to the no make-up, no filter #BFCr2 #PhotoChallenge. Here I am, heavy jowls, bags under the eyes, wonky eyelids, grey hairs and all.

@julesG @OleAnder reading this entirely unrelated book...it started the second chapter talking about matriarchal Ireland where military leaders weren‘t chosen based on gender, a woman trained all legendary warriors, etc. and how it was taken over and destroyed by Rome and Christianity.
I knew this was a great choice for my next book!!!

pickImagine a world where over night #women find they have the power over life and death , literally, at their finger tips. What world would that create? The characters were well written with great development. The story was engaging and gets you thinking about the state of the world we live in and how easily situations can reach breaking point. Worth a read.
