Recommendation: Ms. Marvel Volume 7, Damage Per Second by G. Willow Wilson, et. al.

-
In this collection, Kamala Khan is facing the aftermath of tragic events in New Jersey and trying to reconnect after her time in Pakistan with extended family. She is trying to encourage more people to go out and vote, in hopes that more people will choose the less high profile, but more qualified candidate, rather than the two frontrunners who lack integrity. In the meantime, a cyberbully has infiltrated Ms. Marvel's Battlecraft universe, and she must stop it, before this cyberbully hurts those close to her or forces Ms. Marvel into an act that goes against her principles. In the meantime, we get a glimpse of Bruno's new life in Wakanda, as he tries to make new friends and gain confidence after his severe accident. I was so excited about the next volume that came out today, I went ahead and ordered it with the Amazon gift certificate my parents got me for Christmas! The new Ms. Marvel continues to thrive as the character continues to grow, and as Brene Brown would say, brave her own wilderness.

Asking For It by Louise O'Neill and a Mother/Daughter Trip to Dublin, Ireland

In June, my mother and I had the privilege of presenting on the panel together at the Transatlantic 3: Women of the Green Atlantic Conference. If you haven't traveled with your mom yet, I would highly recommend it. My mom and I both have literary interests, so we both enjoyed going to see Ulysses at The Abbey Theater, walking along the water, scouting local book shops, touring Trinity College, and taking a tour of the coast line and Malahide Castle. Ireland is a beautiful country, and I encourage others to enjoy its mystic presence on the other side of the ocean. At the conference, I discussed Asking for It by Louise O'Neill, which was published in 2016. O'Neill's critically acclaimed novel touched on issues pertinent to the #metoo movement before the movement took full force one year later. Emma, the 18 year old protagonist, endures sexual assault. She receives support from some family members and friends, but living in a small Irish Catholic town intensifies Emma

Recommendation: Black Panther: World of Wakanda by Roxanne Gay and Ta-Nehisi Coates

I absolutely love Roxanne Gay's writing, and this book was no exception. The writers are all so witty and brilliant; the interactions between Ayo and Aneka were so powerful. The art work really took me to the World of Wakanda, and I enjoyed getting the female perspective on Black Panther events. I was sorry to hear that the series got cancelled and am convince that it would have kept going had it been released about now. This book definitely is full of feminist power, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good love story, empowered female protagonists, and futuristic societies. In particular, I think the idea of having the king's main army comprised of female soldiers is bold and amazing. I also love how this universe has prominent scientists and leaders who are females. It truly is a society that portrays a better future.
