Yes! "Defending Battered Women on Trial" is a heavy but important book written by Elizabeth Sheehy. It's Canadian, recent and focuses on the ways the legal system forces women to defend themselves and then punishes them when they do. It's even worse for women of colour. https://t.co/D1IXmKMMQ8

Bill Hader is the next Jordan Peele and I cannot wait to see the horror movies he will inevitably bestow upon us someday.

Read the play by Patrick Hamilton! Watch the 1944 film adaption! A man wants his wife institutionalized so he can steal her money. He flickers the gaslight & when she notices, he says "I don't see a flickering light. You're nuts." He continues until she loses her mind.

I usually limit my book reviews to Instagram but "Young Mungo" is my new favourite book and I need everyone to read it. What an incredible book. https://t.co/UxooDJRNL1

If you're running in a municipal election this fall, pick up this book! Leslie's first book "Feminist City" is also a must-read. City planners need intersectional analysis and she's got you covered. Happy Pub Day, Leslie! https://t.co/aXSViK4W29

@gwendolynmr @hollykent Okay, also read The Dutch House. We clearly have similar taste! Hahah! Have you read Sarah Winman's "Tin Man"? Omg, lady. It's one of my favourite books.
