I like all sorts of different books and I'm always on the look out for good ones. I really liked The Sealwomen's Gift by Sally Magnusson. I like the fact that it was based on true historical accounts but with a twist - the historical accounts were from the men's perspective and this was written by the woman's perspective.

Although this isn’t a book, I hope it shakes you out of the illusion of freedom.

To answer the questions: - Fave color: orange - Fave book(s): Enders Game (universe) by Orson Scott Card - Why am I here: I like reading books. I’ve read 100-160ish books per year over the past few years (this year was a weak 50 bc I’ve been listening to too many podcasts) and it’s fun to talk about and dissect cool books.

IS there a book that you want to read, but you just can't get it where you live? Maybe banned? Let's discuss and share how we might be able to access those books.
