Have you ever wondered what John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath would be like from a woman’s perspective? Then you would love @kristinhannahauthor’s The Four Winds. I am about halfway through and I am very engaged and feel very connected to the main character and her family.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Are you looking for a weirdly, wonderfully, quirky read? If so, How To Be Eaten is just for you. Imagine a support group for adult fairytale women, famous for their misadventures with wolves, and witches, and psychopaths.
