Funny story for you: when I was in high school, my parents and younger brother when on a camping trip from Indiana to New York, up through Niagara Falls, along the Canadian border, down Michigan and back home again. At each stop we’d set up our own tents, my parents in one and my brother and me and in tents by ourselves. I was in my tent reading one afternoon - Frankenstein. It was summer reading for lit class. I was getting more and more freaked out as I read along. Finally at one point I yelled out “Dad?” “Yes?” “Can someone take body parts from dead bodies and put them together to make an alive body?” “...No...” “okay! Thanks!” 🤣🤣🤣
And I can relate to the advice column - not completely, but the dissatisfaction part. Your advice is great - and I can’t wait to check out the books you recommended. Thank you!!
Oh I love this story! I can imagine that the tent must have added a whole extra layer to the reading experience. I think it’s a great testament to how affecting a book can be as well even after hundreds of years which is pretty amazing.
I’m so glad you liked the advice column! I’m excited to do more.
I am so appreciative of the prescription books on this month. I circled back today to get caught up so am late to the party 😎. Loved hearing about Outlawed by Anna North & look forward to reading it!
Oh how exciting! I have been trying to work out a way to make the prescription piece work - I’m taking a break from it at the moment while I try to discern how best to do it - so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. Would love any other feedback you have. And of course would love to hear your thoughts on Outlawed when you read it, it’s a great book.
Just finished Outlawed tonight. What a unique book. I will always remember it fondly. Such poignant themes around women’s reproductive rights, identity, agency, empowerment... I am sitting with it all in my heart.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Beth, isn't it such a great story? I love how she manages to explore all those themes in a Western with such unforgettable characters.
