Bookmarks: September 16th

Happy Friday, Savvy Readers! The days are getting chillier and the nights are getting longer, which means there’s more time for cozying up at home and reading (that’s how it works, right?). If you’ve been too busy with your nose in a book this week, I have all of the bookish news you need to catch up on in this one handy post! Keep reading now or simply “Bookmark” it for later.

1. The First Rule of Feminist Fight Club Is…

I’m so excited to lead this week’s Bookmarks with news about one of my favourite books this year: Feminist Fight Club by Jessica Bennett! (You may remember me reading the book here.) Well, the first rule of Feminist Fight Club is “You must talk about the Feminist Fight Club,” and what better way to start a conversation than with a giveaway? The wonderful team behind Women’s Voices is sharing Feminist Fight Club with 5 lucky readers. Click here for a chance to be one of them!

I recently finished reading M-E Girard‘s fantastic new book, Girl Mans Up, so I was so happy to see HCC Frenzy share their favourite Girl Mans Up quotes this week! I love them all, but quote #2 has a special place in my heart. Have you read Girl Mans Up yet? Read HCC Frenzy‘s top 10 quotes here. (Psst, M-E Girard will be touring with Lauren Oliver and Kendare Blake this fall!)
