Unnur was living a normal, if lonely, life until a black cat showed up at her door. Trying to do the right thing, Unnur reunites the lost pet with its owner—a young woman named Ásta who is in desperate need of some help. Unnur reluctantly agrees to take in the cat until Ásta is able to care for it again herself. Soon, Ásta becomes a fixture in Unnur's life and the two form an unlikely friendship. But like a black cat, trouble is tailing Ásta, and Unnur is the only one there when things take a violent turn. Nothing tests a friendship like blood on your hands.

The Lion Women of Tehran

Marjan Kamali

From the nationally bestselling author of the “powerful, heartbreaking” (Shelf Awareness) The Stationery Shop, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran. In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation. Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming “lion women.” But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives. Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences. Written with Marjan Kamali’s signature “evocative, devastating, and hauntingly beautiful” (Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of Light) prose, The Lion Women of Tehran is a sweeping exploration of how profoundly we are shaped by those we meet when we are young, and the way love and courage transforms our lives.

Badge FOMO

Hey all, I was hoping to get a little bit of support with something. I have a bad case of FOMO when it comes to the time-sensitive badges. So far these books, which I probably never would’ve picked up before, have been interesting to me, but I’m also not spending time reading books I actually really want to read. But I don’t want to miss out on the neat badges.

I have confidence I can catch up on my time-crunch titles but would love some kind words of support or advice to keep me motivated while I work through these (especially the S&S one, in which I’m on book 4 out of 7). TIA!

Maybe I am a prude after all, feel free to tell me honestly, but I've gotten to a point where most (if not all...) sex scenes in books make me want to sand the wrinkles off my brain so everything just slips off from then on.

This book really made me realize that. In the first chapter, where Lillian described how she felt something 'between her legs' as an elementary schooler while watching her teacher I cringed to hard I thought that my face would collapse. (If I had a nickel for every time an author wrote almost this exact thing about a pre-teen child, I'd have... more than two nickels. Not a lot. But an amount I still don't want.) Now the part where she has sex with Henry? Maybe it's because it feels so PAINFULLY hetero to me or because she herself doesn't even enjoy it but it gives me such an ick, for lack of a better term. I can't remember feeling this way when reading about adult same-sex couples in books, though. So it leaves me so confused??? 😭😭 Maybe it's the way this book is written so far? I don't really know. I'll continue reading anyway, because I think the plot sounds interesting!

Maybe I'm just internally straight-phobic... 😔
