[BHE 345] Female Powered Reading Themes

Myra here.

Sundays are special in Gatheringbooks mainly because of our book hunting expedition posts. This week is extra special because we are about to say goodbye to 2018 (you have been good to us, but fare thee well) – and we will be launching our new reading theme tomorrow for 2019.

As we have announced previously, we are doing a #WomenReadWomen2019 reading theme where we will be exclusively featuring female voices and creators for the entire year. Here are a few books that I am hoping to feature at one point in the coming weeks.
