Hmm, not sure if I'm going to read this. I don't follow her but see some of her tweets. Sometimes I all "Yeah!" and other times I think she's a bit much for me.

I know what you mean about men writing a woman's pov. I read a book from a male author recently and there was a childbirth scene and all I wanted to do was yell: no!

Anyway I was thinking about reading this so maybe I will now. I WAS a high school student in 1988 so this should be interssting.

Thanks for sharing this Jadai! I really appreciate that this series includes an atheist point of view. I've struggled with religion since I was as young as you say you started questioning it. I would say I'm an agnostic right now. I usually keep my opinions on religion to myself in my family as I know some of them have strong beliefs. I'm also of the "live and let live" camp. Good for them, but not for me.

When my daughter was born, I got very into genealogy. I traced some parts of our family back hundreds of years, others only a couple of generations. I've also been fascinated by why they chose to go the places they did and how that all ended up with me. It's all such a roll of the dice. I'll never truly know their motivations, no matter what the records say.

I also have a photo of an ancestress who has my eyes- dark circles and a high eyebrow. I didn't find it disconcerting. I found myself thinking, "So that's where those came from!" Genetics are so fascinating to me.

Yes, I did. I just gave away my copy. I am still waiting for the sequel too. I wonder what happened?

All I want is to grow one any sized pumpkin. Every year I try, every year I fail.

Ah, Matilda isn't real! Of course. Can't have a woman that smart and devious. She must be supernatural. Ambrosio is the most gullible of all men.

Alice, that is literally the exact title as my post!
#satanshade is the best hashtag.
