A Gendered History
Gender: A World History by Susan Kingsley Kent
Gender: A World History found its way to my ears (I went audiobook form for this one) due to a sale. For $2.99 this sounded like just the sort of thing I’d like to read.

Her Pretend Christmas Date (Cider Bar Sisters #2.5) by Jackie Lau
I was simply delighted by this one.

The tension point of the story isn’t a misunderstanding or one of the pair freaking out and walking away, instead we get characters dealing with traumatic experiences […]
