She Represents by Caitlin Donohue She Represents is a wonderful book written by journalist Caitlin Donohue that provides a brief bio, the policies, the controversies and quotes of each of the 44 women she highlights. I emphasize the journalist part because as she writes in the introduction she hopes this will serve as an introductory…

For anyone who was a fan of the Avatar the Last Airbender series, you should definitely give this a read. It shares the series’ pathos, morals and humor, it fits right in with the bigger universe.

Elizabeth Lim hits out of the park again with her Twisted Tale that transforms a princess I found boring and uninteresting to a riveting heroine to root for. And Lim doesn’t even change her personality!

Another solid book for the Twisted Tales line but not one of Calonita’s best compared to the other two she wrote for the series.

Since I enjoyed Calonita’s other book, I thought I’d give this one a try next and see how she spices up a princess I’ve never been interested in. Which she manages to accomplish quite well using a dual narrative between Snow White and The Evil Queen who is so named Queen Ingrid here.
