    I love the juxtaposition of a war of violence and war of knowledge. Neither feels quite right. One is too much and the other is not enough. And it’s easy when you’re not in the war to say you’d take the moral way and go intelligence, but don’t we all crave an easy solution even if it comes through violence?

    I want to invent a machine that allows me to go into books solely so I can punch the white men that exist in this story. Thanks

    The Beheading Game: A Novel

    The Beheading Game: A Novel

    Rebecca Lehmann

    Disgraced. Beheaded. And out for revenge . . .We all know what happened to Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. But what if she woke up the day after her execution and took it upon herself to seek justice?“Nobody was surprised at Anne’s conviction. The world loves to put a woman in her place.”The Beheading Game begins in the hours after Anne Boleyn’s beheading, when she wakes to find herself unceremoniously in an arrow chest, her head wrapped in linen at her knees. Discarded by King Henry VIII for not being able to give him a male heir, reviled by Cromwell for being too smart for her own good, and executed based on trumped-up charges, Anne escapes the tower, sews her head back on, and sets out on a quest for vengeance.Traveling in the guise of a commoner, with the help of a prostitute, Anne navigates the London streets she never before walked and soon realizes how little she knew about life in the real world. If Kelly Link had teamed up with Hilary Mantel, the result might be The Beheading Game. An epic journey through the wilds of British royal history and a prescient reminder that “mouthy” women have always been punished, The Beheading Game finally allows one of history’s most maligned women a chance to tell her side of the story.

  • Craft and Chat Book Club Recommendations

    Hi everyone, looking for recommendations for a craft and chat book club that is run at a public library. We have a wide range of ages (30s-70s) and everyone is pretty much up for any genre other than horror and not huge sci-fi fans. Thanks for all your suggestions!

  • favourite LGBT+ couples in literature?

    hey lovely people! as it says in the title, I'd love to know what your favourite LGBT+ book couples are. they can be side characters, from old or new books, from graphic novels or manga, from non-romance books, I don't mind! for context, I'm very much a sucker for a good romantic plotline, and I'd love to expand my horizons beyond the 20 or so queer books that I see recommended regularly. no shade to those popular books, of course, but I'd love to know what your personal favourites are!! :)
