Loved reading about occupations and lives of common women. It was illuminating, reading all the reasons why women would choose a monastic life. Not at all what you might think! #booksky @netgalley.bsky.social #penandsword

Thank you, Kristen.
Idk how I'm going to make it all the way until April to get to finish @marshaskrypuch.bsky.social 's Kidnapped from Ukraine trilogy! I'm so broken for the people of Ukraine right now. 😭 Praying for their #safety, #justice, #peace, and #freedom. Wishing I could do more.

Thank you, Kristen.
A choice is made that will bring in buckets of cash, but will harm the very people they've vowed to help. Reading the fallout of this horrible decision made for pageturning intensity and a sick stomach. #SharonBala #PenguinRandomCA #NetGalley #IReadCanadian

#Discipline. Happy #Bookbirthday! I love the structure of this story, with Christine on tour with her first novel, which is highly personal, secret, and now out there in the form of a revenge fantasy against a powerful man in her past. Beautifully written. @randomhouse.bsky.social #LarissaPham

Lena the Chicken (but Really a Dinosaur) by Linda Bailey and K-Fai Steel. This seemingly simple story encourages kids to choose their own path and not be held back by others' expectations. An instant classic. #Tundra #Netgalley 📚👍🏼#Canlit
