Siden jeg tross alt er feminist og har lest blant annet  F-ordet 155 grunner til å være feminist , sa det nesten seg selv at jeg kom til å plukke opp boka Kvinner i kamp 150 års kamp for frihet, likhet, søsterskap! av Marta Breen og Jenny Jordahl. I dag kommer omtalen av boka. Beskrivelse fra forlaget For 150 år siden levde kvinner og menn svært forskjellige liv. Kvinner fikk ikke stemme ved valg eller tjene egne penger. Det var først da kvinnene begynte å organisere seg at det skjedde endringer. I denne boka forteller forfatter Marta Breen og illustratør Jenny Jordahl om kvinnebevegelsens mange dramatiske kamper. Mine tanker om boka Kvinner i kamp gir en lettfattelig introduksjon til (over) 150 års kvinnekamp med hovedfokus på kvinner som eksemplifiserer kampen og ulike tema, enten det er retten til å stemme eller ta utdanning. Boka passer i tillegg for et stort alderspekter, enten en er tenåring eller voksen.

I came across the This or That? book tag over at  Book Bastion  and decided to play along as it looked a bit cool. The questions and my answers are; Reading on the Bed or the Couch? I prefer reading on the couch, as it's so much easier to get it "right" with snacks, a hot drink, a blanket and my cat. Male Main Character or Female Main Character? Even though I like both, I'll probably say female main characters, as I have a weak spot for strong women like Xena the Warrior Princess. Sweet Snacks or Salty Snacks while reading? I do have a sweet tooth, so for me it's obviously something sweet. Trilogies or Quartets? I prefer trilogies as they are not too long and not too short. Reading First Person or Third Person POV? It all depends on the genre and the book itself. Reading at Night, or in the Morning? I prefer reading at night, as I find it easier to calm down after a long day with a book. Libraries or Bookstores? I seriously can't choos...

It's Friday and time for another Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of  Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer . The question of the week was "How many books did you read last year?

Diary of a Sorceress by Ashley Dioses Genre: Dark Poetry The young poet Ashley Dioses has already established herself as a leading voice in contemporary weird poetry. Known for her meticulous use of rhyme and meter, her deft melding of the strange and the erotic, and her novel treatments of such age-old themes as the vampire, the witch, and the ghoul, Dioses now gathers the best of her recent poetry into her first collection—a scintillating assemblage of nearly 100 poems short and long, published and unpublished. With this single volume, Ashley Dioses takes her place as a worthy successor to the long line of California Romantics, beginning with Ambrose Bierce, Clark Ashton Smith, and Nora May French, and carrying on with Donald Sidney-Fryer and K. A. Opperman (The Crimson Tome), with whom she has worked closely. Add to Goodreads Amazon * B&N * Hippocampus Press Ashley began writing at the age of 12. Upon discovering the macabre wor...
