Thank you NetGalley and ACTE IV for the review copy of “Dear Ophelia.” I understand what the author was trying to do with this book, but it didn’t work. It feels like it is trying to masquerade as a self-help book in verse but is afraid to go onto the dance floor. This is the…

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC of “The Renoir Girls” by Catherine Ostler. I love Renoir’s work; I think he was a brilliant artist, his paintings have so much depth to them that you can look at them for hours without losing interest. I am familiar with the paintings referenced in this…

Thank you to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for the ARC of Drs. Dunsmoor-Su and Voedisch’s book Estrogen, Interrupted.

Thank you NetGalley and Alcove Press for the ARC of Malayna Evans’ fantastic book Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones! This book was an add-in to the Summer Reading List, as I had requested it from NetGalley prior to drawing up my list. I am not complaining, though I did have weird dreams after staying…

My list has gotten a little out of order, and I’ve had a couple surprise additions. Well, maybe not such a surprise, as I requested these extra titles from NetGalley, but they weren’t put on the SRL because I didn’t know if I was going to be blessed by the Book Gods. (Spoiler: I was.)…
