Happy Monday! I can’t think of a better day to look at your just finished, currently reading, and next read (other than my WWW blog post on Wednesdays 😉). . I’m currently reading Chuck Wendig’s The Book of Accidents #horrorthriller - just finished Mother of All by Jenna Glass -absolutely wonderful #feministfantasy #womenempowerment - and next I’m reading Kill A Spy by Samantha Lee Howe - a series with my favorite female Jason Bourne type character. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity for an early read of all three of these anticipated five-star reads! (Thanks to #netgalley and the publishers - #randomhouse #ballantinebooks #delreybooks and #onemorechapter #harpercollinspublishers ) . What are your last - current - and next reads? . . . . #motherofall #jennaglass #thebookofaccidents #chuckwendig #killaspy #samanthaleehowe #mysterybooks #thrillerbooksaddict #thrillernovel #thriller #thrillerbooks #horrorbooks #fantasyreadersofinstagram #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyreadersofig #epicfantasy #bookrecommendations #fivestarreads #currentreads #allthebooksjuly21 (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CROlQ2ErO19/?utm_medium=tumblr

Editing #DAY1 : Starts early, gets distracted wondering if any other authors have used my character names. 5 hrs on Fan Fic site. Editing #DAY2 : Opens laptop. Stares at screen. Starts reading another Jacqueline Carey or Ursula K. Le Guin novel and calls it "research." . . . #writerslife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writing #writer #editing #ursulakleguin #jacquelinecarey #kushielsdart #damngoodbook #feministfantasy #fantasy #fantasywriter #fantasyauthor #womenwriters #femalefantasywriters #author #authorsofinstagram

About half the population is female, yet the chances are that any summer blockbuster you can name will have male heroes saving the world and women as their hapless Love Interests—if they even feature at all. And if they do they'll probably only be minor characters talking about the men in their lives. This invites a question: Why? Well, because commercial fiction is produced to make money, and, for a variety of reasons, women have either lacked disposable income or have been more likely to pay for a story about a man than the other way round. Publishing costs money, and writers have to make a living, so they need to show profitability to get their works made. Thus, the English-speaking world's growing focus on women as equal partners has been slow to translate into fiction in which women figure as main characters. Adventure-oriented genre works, including fantasy and science fiction, have been even slower in that respect than romantic, comic, domestic, or "literary" stories. But there are always exceptions, and from those exceptions, we get Feminist Fantasy.

Pretty Bird

“Don’t let them cage you,

pretty bird.

Though they bow before

your golden feathers

and make offerings

to your song,

They will

steal

what makes you holy.

Don’t let them trap you,

pretty bird.

Though they claim

it’s for your own good

with gentle kisses

to your brow,

They will

tear

the blessings from your crown.

Don’t let them hold you,

pretty bird.

Though they beg to touch

your emerald feet

and caress the ground

you walk,

They will

seize

the angels in your sky—

And never,

never

let go.

Don’t listen to their words,

pretty bird—

Look beyond the awe

the offerings

the supplications and compliments

to the gleam,

the lust,

the greed

in their eyes

when they covet

your gold.

They will not love you,

pretty bird,

once they have you

in their grasp.

They will not bless

the food you eat,

nor the ground

beneath your feet.

They want

what you have

And they

can never be.

But when they learn this,

They still won’t set you free.

So take wing,

pretty bird.

Go back to the angels

who delight in your beauty

yet do not wish

to claim it.”

Happy Summer! Today is the official first day of summer 🕶 . What’s your most anticipated read this summer? . One of mine is Mother of All by Jenna Glass. It’s the third book in her Women’s War trilogy. It’s a bit of a large book but then it’s an epic fantasy. . Book blurb: An evil new magic threatens to undo all the progress women have made in the third and final book in Jenna Glass's riveting feminist fantasy series, following The Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted. . In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own reproduction, but the battle for equality is far from over. Even with two thrones held by women, there are still those who cling to the old ways and are determined to bring them back. . Now into this struggle comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former King of Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women reproductive control, but he has gained a terrible and deadly magic—and he uses these new abilities to raise an army the likes of which the world has never seen. Delnamal and his allies seem like an unstoppable force, destined to crush the fragile new balance between men and women. . Yet sometimes it is possible for determined individuals to stem the tide, and it falls to a unique triad of women—maiden, mother, and crone—to risk everything . . . not only to preserve the advances they have won but to change the world one final time. . A portion of the author’s proceeds from this book is being donated to Planned Parenthood, in support of women’s reproductive freedom. . . . . #firstdayofsummer #allthebooksjune21 #netgalley #netgalleyreads #motherofall #womenswar #jennaglass #fantasyreadersofinstagram #fantasytrilogy #epicfantasy #highfantasy #feministbookclub #feministfantasy #womensreproductivefreedom #plannedparenthood #bookstagram #bookstagrammademedoit #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggers #bookbloggerlife #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyreadersofig #fantasyreaders #bookdragon #bookrecommendations #tessatalksbooks #booklover #bibliophile (at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYgLoGr6cY/?utm_medium=tumblr
