    1. I am actually impressed that you didn't haul MORE! Looks like some great reads, I think I have the Silk Road one on my TBR. And of course I will be adding Invisible Women to the list!

    2. Just wait until I go crazy in April!

      I knew you'd pick on Invisible Women. If I was female I'd be livid pretty much 24/7 to be honest....

    3. Oh dear. I better start deleting a ton of books from my TBR to make room for whatever you are going to find!

      Honestly, it is really fucking exhausting and I am pretty livid most of the time. But, I can't give in to that exhaustion and take a break for a couple reasons: 1) I will make this world a better place for my daughter, and 2) my privilege as a white female allows me to occasionally take that break. My Sisters of color never have that choice and I will not leave them to fight alone.
