They had to be published under male nom de plumes because it was nearly impossible for a woman to be published. Imagine all the wonderful literature that never happened because women were discouraged from writing for publication.

What is your all time favourite book?

retired-librarian.bsky.social•57 days ago

I don't really have an all time favorite. I like different ones at different times.

This. I have students ask me this question daily in my library... I tell them it's like picking my favorite child.

I can absolutely see why you say that. Ok can you recommend any really good reads? (Not Chaucer though 🤣)

I have a banned book club here. It has a feed. If you go to this link, click on the three dots in the top right, it will give you options to like and pin the feed. Or check hashtag #BannedBookSkyClub - all the books we've read or will read are good reads.
