What a delight in dreaming and the joy of who can offer us support. Very glad I purposefully picked with one up (to expand my interest in dragons ;) )

Review of 'The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
More enjoyable than I thought, although the main character is often behaving in unprincipled ways. In particular, I think her romantic interest deserved much more of an apology. Overall, a clever, low-stakes book, in which I enjoyed many passages.

Review of "Feminist's Guide to ADHD" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
2.5 - I wanted to finish it, but I didn't think this offered anything new to me, so I wouldn't recommend it. As other reviews noted, it didn't provide feminist take on restructure for equity etc, that I had hoped for from the title.
That said, it was useful to have all the resources and ideas (most of which I already practice) gathered in one place, with scientific backup and real stories.

3.5 - I was really pleased that this one had more depth and historical awareness than I expected, picking it up. In addition, the depiction of found family, friends' love, and internal journeys was really enjoyable. The love story was also solid. Good read!
