Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A. d'Amico is a phenomenal graphic history of women's existence. I wish I'd had this book as a girl searching history for powerful/interesting women.

Here’s a bunch of reviews for all the nonfiction I read.
American Indian Stories by Zitkála-Šá
November is National Native American Heritage Month. I read American Indian Stories by Zitkála-Šá, and it is heartbreaking and beautiful. I have many things to say about this one.
The Little Book of Lost Words by Joe Gillard
The Little Book of Lost Words by Joe Gillard is hilarious and interesting and full of words you should use... and some I already do.
Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino
Jia Tolentino talks about how fucked up society is in her bestselling book, Trick Mirror. I want to be Jia Tolentino’s friend. a) She talks about good books. b) She’s probably smarter than I am, so she’d be interesting to talk to. c) She seems hilarious.
Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer
I have lots of things to say about Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer because it's great and full of tidbits women need to hear to affirm the wonders of female friendship.
Queen Meryl by Erin Carlson
Erin Carlson is wonderful at bringing fascinating women to life. Queen Meryl is a fascinating read about a complex and interesting woman who has captured people's attentions on stage and the silver screen for five decades.
