A few cool links for your Thursday:
- The delightful Camille DeAngelis shares her recommendations for coming of age books you probably haven’t read.
- Working with the barcode.
- A reading list for women’s history month.
- And an even more extensive list of favorite fictional women.
- Fairy tale expert Maria Tatar on Schönwerth’s stories and why fairy tales are so lasting.
- Taking down a six-word literary urban legend.
- Dead girl books and seeing women as disposable parts of the plot.
- I’d love to see more books about friendships.
- That said, insta-love and romance shouldn’t get such a bad wrap.
- “There’s a danger when you don’t see yourself represented in your culture’s art; there’s an even greater danger when your only representation is fraught with negative messaging and teaches you that you do not belong in this world. You’re a thing of the past, a ghost, a myth.”
- When ‘kindness’ doesn’t address a problem.
- I was all set to be smug, but I actually didn’t know most of these things about the Harry Potter series.
