Josefa: “I’ve only been reading women for the last year. First, I’ve explored the Nobel Prize winners like Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, and Doris Lessing. Then, Pulitzer winners like Jennifer Egan and Donna Tartt. Now, I basically just to go to McNally Jackson and check out their lists. I saw that Obama read ‘The Power’ so I had to get it. It’s a futuristic sci-fi story about young women who have this electricity within themselves that they can use on people. They are about to take over when they get shunned from society—of course. I have to read 100 pages a day because I get all my books from the New York Public Library and last month I got eight books at once which are all due next week. My boyfriend is appalled because our social life has really decreased. This is my 25th book this year. The non-fictions have been slowing me down.” @josefacosima #ThePower #NaomiAlderman / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Fulton Street)

Ready for Writer Crush Weds? Today goes out to Naomi Alderman for The Power! 💥👊 All over the world, a new power is emerging exclusively in teenage girls to create physical pain and even death. The unprecedented over-night evolution takes what knowledge everyone thought they possessed about the world back to zero ‼️Why we like it: Naomi Alderman was mentored by THE Margaret Atwood, and she created speculative fiction where women aren’t suppressed! •• #wcw #writercrushwednesday #wednesday #writercrush #bookstagram #readstagram #book #bookrecommendation #thepower #naomialderman #fiction #scifi (at Strand Book Store)

A truly frightening offering for the #13BooksofHalloween countdown today: you might be surprised to learn that #ENesbit beloved author of #therailwaychildren, #fivechildrenandit, and other favorites, penned a series of dark and haunting #ghoststories for grown-ups; the very best of which are collected here in this anthology from @penguinukbooks with an introduction from @naomi_alderman. "Lurking in the background are dead children, thwarted love, jealousy, vengeance, and the sense that even the best kind of love - the famous love that never falters, the love that pays the price - has something dark within it" - @guardian 💀🕯🕸🕷🎃🦇#allhallowsread #bumpinthenight #spooky #halloweenbooks #scarybooksforadults #haunting #needtoread #classichorror #horror #thepower #disobediance #naomialderman #scary #creepy #chills #horrorstories #coverart (at Chicago, Illinois)

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 📚 Don't you love finding these?! Thanks to @chloe.allegra I was able to find a new book to add to my tbr! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐨𝐦𝐢 𝐀𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 ❤ I've seen this book on bookstagram a bit and we all loved the blurb. Had a lovely day out with Chloe and @joshdraper97 (photographer 😋). 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛: In The Power the world is a recognisable place: there's a rich Nigerian kid who lounges around the family pool; a foster girl whose religious parents hide their true nature; a local American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But something vital has changed, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power - they can cause agonising pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world changes utterly. This extraordinary novel by Naomi Alderman, a Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and Granta Best of British writer, is not only a gripping story of how the world would change if power was in the hands of women but also exposes, with breath-taking daring, our contemporary world. #thepower #naomialderman #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #freelittlelibrary #hitchin #dayout #booklover #booklove #booklovers #readersofinstagram #tbr #booksofig #alwaysreading #bookrecommendation #bookaesthetic #bookishlife #readstagram #girlswhoread #readersofinsta #bookishpost #bookrec #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookreviewers #bookblogger #booklover #booksbooksbooks #booksonbooks #currentlyreading (at Hitchin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMWlWcIRXF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I enjoy books about alternate realities.📚 Read this if you do too.

like it talks about chromosomal abnormalities but not trans people and it just skirts around the entire topic and i dont think its ogay to do that when the shit the book addresses is gender rights things.

"A fierce new power has emerged - and only women have it." ... is what says at the front page. You would have thought how amazing that sounds. At least that is what I thought. From my point of view, this book is terrible. Nothing special. Women with power abusing, raping, manipulating, killing... everything to get what they want. I gave it 2⭐ the moment I have finished it. But then I started thinking, what if this book is written to remind us about this f**** up world. What those who run this world (wannabe man) are actually doing to those with no power. Every time women did something terrible in the book I thought, "Come on, you are a woman, you should know better", which I would never thought if a man did the same thing, because "that is so typical for men". Why we (or should I say me) justify man's behaviour as typical? Why is that behaviour normal for us? This book is still not something I have not enjoyed, but because of the revelation, I gave it 3⭐, because at the end of the day • WE should know better!! . . . #thepower #naomialderman #bookstagrammers #whatimreading #whatiread #readingtime #read #bookgram #book #bookphotography #bookstagramusa #balkanbookstagram #booklover #booksbooksbooks #bookstagramcommunity #booknerd #bookish #bookstagram #bibliophile #bibliophilefeatures #igreads #becauseofreading #reviews #review #bookstagramflatlay #bookgram https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lmySmAocV/?igshid=ra2vmdr0q6y2
