The Beautifull Cassandra - Jane Austen - ★★★

Image
AUTHOR: Jane Austen GENRE: Classic. PUBLICATION DATE: January 1, 1793 RATING: 3 stars. It is totally unlike any other Austen work. Not just by the writing style (she was just a teen after all!) but by content too! Never expected Austen to be so naughty in her teens. There's a hint of mischief throughout the 50 odd pages. Austen-lovers, you might want to check it out. Not recommended to anyone else.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2 - Rebel Girls - ★★★★.¾

Image
CONTRIBUTING AUTHORS: Rebel Girls GENRE: Children's Nonfiction, Biographies. PUBLICATION DATE: November 20, 2017 RATING: 4.75 stars. Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls is one of these modern marvels that is a must-read for every girl child aged 5 and above (it can be read to younger children too). This book has been a trendsetter and has spawned so many other books using the same premise: Stories for Boys who Dare to be Different, Like a Girl, Women in Science/Sports, The Good Guys, She Can You Can, Fantastically great women who made history, Fantastically great women who changed the world,..... The list is endless! These books give me hope for a better tomorrow, a tomorrow where your gender doesn't define you, nor does it restrict you. If there's only one book that you can gift your children, let it be one of these.
