I want to read Bad Feminist and How to Build a Girl and that has kept up after reading your reviews but I have a pile of good unfinished books to complete before the year is out as I really lost my reading mojo this autumn. Always inspired by how much you read!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414010663277948166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931597080577373530.post-79825965793118304782014-11-02T14:18:11.477+00:002014-11-02T14:18:11.477+00:00Bad Feminist sounds pretty interesting!
