This book arose from a letter to a friend. The friend had asked Adichie how to raise a feminist daughter and this book is Adichie’s answer. As books go it is fairly short, but I suppose that for a letter it is quite long. If you have read Adichie before (and if you haven’t you really should) her voice is strong and flowing in this letter and I enjoyed reading it. I wanted to buy ten copies and just throw them at anybody who’s expecting. […]

Book Exchange is My Favorite Holiday Thing
Yay Book Exchange and LaurenH! I think that’s the awesome one’s name; I may have forgotten the note at home while I’m visiting family 900 miles away. I’ll check on that next week to be sure 🤗
Ready for Jolabokaflod!
Earlier this year, when someone posted an article on Facebook about the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod (Yule book flood), my mom, sister, and I were like, “We’re so doing this.” What’s not to like about hunkering down on Christmas Eve, drinking cocoa, giving each other books, and then spending the evening reading. Thanks to Caitlin, I now have both the books and a mug to start this tradition. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Hooray for the CBR9 Book Exchange
Thank you, CoffeeShopReader! I’ve been meaning to read March ever since I saw John Lewis speak at LA Review of Books in the spring. And I will be able to get all the NightVale references once I read that one. I love tea too and excited to try them all. 🙂
Holiday book exchange! Thanks, Malin!
Thank you, Malin, for these wonderful books and bookmark! I can’t wait to get started. I did indicate that I have read no Terry Pratchett (for shame) and would welcome a romance, and behold! My holiday wishes have come true!
