I really enjoyed reading Frankenstein! It was a breath of fresh air with all the contemporary books I've been reading lately.

but one thing I can't get out of my head. If it was his first time creating a life and a creature, why would you go for an 8 foot tall one? Why not create a smaller one, so it's easier to trap it if it's not what you wanted it to be? :D

Also, I love how Mary Shelley was like: "I know exactly how to make life, but I ain't gonna tell you, so you can't create another one" :D

The Door on the Sea (The Raven and Eagle, #1)

Caskey Russell

An epic quest fantasy debut that is the Tlingit indigenous response to The Lord of the Rings When Elān trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elān’s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is. Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior. As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.

But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong.

A Room of One’s Own

Virginia Woolf

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on the 24th of October, 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled Women and Fiction, and hence the essay, are considered nonfiction. The essay is seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.

It hit hard when she said things are seen as frivolous when you don’t get paid to do it. Childcare? Check. Writing (if you’re a woman)? Check. But writing is totally meaningful if you are a man because you’re more likely to be paid for it😤

Virginia’s feelings after inheriting money from a rich relative: “I need not hate any man, he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man, he has nothing to give me.” Add this to the list of reasons women should be financially independent.😌

She talks about how it’s obvious why women have strong feelings about their own inferior treatment, but how wild it is that men are so angry about women’s attempts to seek equality. It seems almost nonsensical until you realize men have always been told they are better than women by no effort they have put in, just by their mere existence as men. It’s hard to give up an inner confidence that had previously been inherited with zero effort. It makes sense then men are angry, but it’s also so ridiculous.

BIPOC recs for October

Any recommendations for BIPOC authors for the spooky fall season? So books that have vampires, werewolves, witches, or ghosts, or books that are simply spooky horror or have Halloween as a setting.
