The Beauty Myth (1991) by Naomi Wolf

• There are some things that are outdated, and apparently incorrect.


• There's still a lot of good points made though.


• Germaine Greer said it was "the most important feminist publication since The Female Eunuch". She wrote The Female Eunuch.Usually I'm all for women being vain, but Greer is a transmysoginist, so screw it.

A Wrinkle in Time (1962) by Madeleine L'Engle

• I wasn't in love with it, but it's really good and creative


• And creepy sometimes, the Happiest Sadist, augh!

Re-Read: Big Night Out (2002) by various people. My review here.

Published this year: Family Trees (2015) by Kerstin March. Won from Goodreads. It was okay.

Mystery/Thriller: The Pond (1990) by Simon Lawrence. Okay trash book.

Play: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) by Edward Albee. I've love the movie, but this must be something else to see on stage.

Book With Magic: Galadria: Peter Huddleston and the Rites of Passage (2011 or 2014, I dunno) by Miguel Lopez de Leon. Won. Was cute.

Debut of a popular author: Casino Royale (1952) by Ian Fleming. Bleh. Mostly I liked the food parts and when Bond is tortured. My copy smelled like vanilla.


The rest are not a part of the challenge:

Dark Times (2001) by Christopher Golden. I liked it. Buffy's escape was pretty badass.

"A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. Creepy. Also, it was a recording of her reading it.

"We Can Get Then For You Wholesale" by Neil Gaiman. Creepy in a cute way.

The Handmaids Tale:

1. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum


2. Conjealed oyster spit


3. I really like this book

Fifty Shades Darker:

1. OMG, it pisses me off so much that he bought the company she works for.


2. Maybe I'm not into erotica. I don't need a sex scene in every single chapter. I want them to deal with their shit!


3. "I will not be sidetracked by sex" - Yeah, whatever Ana.


4. I am "annotating" my copy with things like "UGH OH MY GODDDDDDDDD"


5. The use of "subconcious" is back, so are elongated nipples.


6. Carrick?


7. I miss Kate.

I get the Persephone Biannually. I would love to have some of the books, but couldn't afford it. I do have The Home-Maker, but not one of their copies. This edition has a short story called "Mrs. Miller" by Karin Hellstedt. It's about a mental institution and was first published in 1952. About a decade later, Karin went to her own mental institution and died there in the 80's. She was known as the queen of the ward.
