Summary: In this video, Mary and Denise recommend some recent books they enjoyed as a way to get our heads out of Star Wars and support female creators. Women are writing tons of great books, and that’s where we can find stories with strong heroines, happy endings, and interesting romantic plots. Lots of fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, some weird plots, beauty and the beast and Eros and Psyche retellings, fairytale vibes, from both indie and trad authors. Some of the books we discuss or mention are: A Promise of Darkness by Bec McMaster Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Rodge Air Awakens by Elise Kova Uprooted and Spinning Silver by Naomi Nokik Neron Rising by Keary Taylor Dark King by C. N Crawford A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.
