Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Beautiful and haunting story about the reality of love and learning the truth about someone you think you know. There is much more to this story than what's on the surface.

Between Wild and Ruin by Jennifer G. Edelson
5.0
I just finished this book, and I absolutely loved it. I felt totally immersed in the characters but most of all the unique landscape of New Mexico, the ruins and forests. I looked forward to reading this every night; the characters became real to me and I could see them in my head. I love when books accomplish that! I highly recommend this!
Blood, Bread, and Roses: How Menstruation Created the World by Judy Grahn, Charlene Spretnak
5.0
This is an incredible book, not just for women but for humanity. It's an in depth look at the ties of nature to menstruation, the history of how menstruation has been worshipped, revered, and shamed by society throughout history. There is tons of information of menstrual rituals practiced by cultures throughout history around the world. It also talks about how shame was tied to menstruation and how that is directly tied to patriarchal oppression of women. This is an awesome, fascinating read that I highly recommend.
Eros the Bittersweet by Anne Carson
4.0
There were beautiful moments of this book but there was also a lot of dense analysis that seemed a bit over the top at times. It was romantic, intriguing, and refreshing overall.
