Happy #InternationalWomenDay! This year, the campaign focuses on the equity with the message, #EmbraceEquity. Women have come a long way but we still have a lot of work to do and that is shown with recent events. More opportunities need to be created in order for our society to create a more equal outcome. And reading books are a great way to start. Some of the titles shown here are a brilliant start but if you are looking for more and books that are more recent, head to the link in my bio for more fuller recommended list! 🔥🔥🔥 Books Shown: "Fix the System Not the Women" by @laura_bates__ "Activist" by @louisareid "Run Rebel" by @manjeet_k_mann "Misogynation" by @laura_bates__ "Monsters Born and Made" by @tanviberwah "Kiki Kallira Conquers a Curse" by @sangumandanna "My Pen is The Wing of A Bird: New Fiction by Afghan Women" "Abolition.Feminism.Now." by Angela Y.

Books of 2023: "The Stranded" by @sarahdanielsbooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 WOW... just WOW! This was such an amazing ride. I never read a dystopian like this one! I was turned off from the genre after reading "The Hunger Games." But after reading this "The Stranded," if they turn out to be like this, I will be reading more of the genre. It was so well written and filled with everything that will have a reader on the edge of your seat: action, amazing world building, and great character development. All great aspects that make it one of my favorites of 2023. Don't know if I can wait for the second book in the summer but I'll try! 😊 The second picture was the first try of taking the picture... a certain feline wanted to join the fun!

Books of 2022: ""These Are The Words: Fearless Verse To Find Your Voice" by @nikita_gill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 **** Theres a reason why Gill is one of my favorite poets. Anytime I feel anxious and want something soothing and calming, Gill's words always does the trick. Nikita Gill has done it again by bringing readers another poetry collection that not only makes readers emotional but empowers readers with her inspirational thoughts and words. Really wished I had a collection like this during my teenage years. #books #bookstagram #bestbooksof2022 #bookblogger #books2022 #poetry #nikitagill #cupofteabooksof2022 #ukyabooks #carnegieshortlist2022 #inspirationalreads #fallreads #booksforteens https://www.instagram.com/p/ClT_aruLGvx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Books of 2022: "Only On The Weekends" by @deanatta ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ***** I had to immediately get my hands on this latest from Atta when it was announced so I immediately pre-order it! (Support your favorite authors by pre-ordering their books!) And this one did disappoint! Beautifully written and filled with well-rounded depictions of teenage emotions, Dean Atta has another great YA novel in verse that if filled with the powerful emotion and insight that Atta does such an excellent job putting into verse. If you want to read a queer romance story for Pride Month, you cannot go wrong with this highly recommended book. Read the rest of my review by heading to the link in my bio!

Books of 2023: The Trial by @laura_bates__ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 **** I'm never surprised when Bates writes something compelling, and this YA novel is no different. This is once again a MUST read. Bates has brought young readers another powerful and insightful tale of how sexism and harassment are rampant in our society. You think this is your everyday survival story, and it is not. It's a different type of survival story, a tale that most girls and women unfortunately live with every day. The tense atmosphere and thrilling nature were just done brilliantly. The island used an allegory for society to be insightful and necessity. Readers definitely need to give this one a chance. This may have been the first book I finished in the new year, but I'm still counting it as once of the best I read in 2022. #books #books2022 #bookstagram #laurabates #ukyabooks #feminism #yabooks #bestbooksof2022 #cupofteabooksof2023 #youngadultbooks #survivalstories #fightagainstmisogyny #femaleempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/CnI0TT-rdX7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
