Give all the feminist killjoys on your list these roaring good reads (at a rebellious 15% off until Dec 13th only!)
Gift Jess Taylor’s sophomore story collection Just Pervs (Book*hug Press) to the giftee on your list whose book collection includes a treasury of Mary Gaitskill and Maggie Nelson. They’ll appreciate much of what this collection has to offer: a refreshing examination of female sexuality that touches on experiences from Tinder flings to queer polyamory; women with agency over their bodies; and a GET-IT-GIRL attitude. This one’s for the feminist killjoys who dare to imagine a world in which female desire is fulfilled and accepted.
When it comes to stories about missing and murdered Indigenous women, Wren StrongEagle is the character we want to enact justice: she’s a young Indigenous artist who takes revenge into her own hands when her twin sister disappears. With vivid prose and an intense page-turning plot, Bone Black examines police indifference, systemic racism, and the power of prayer and spiritual guidance, and reminds us that the crisis in Canada of missing and murdered Indigenous women continues to need our attention.  * * * Just Pervs and Bone Black are 15% off until December 13th, and buying these or any of our Season’s Readings books during this time gets you a stack of our Season’s Readings postcard to gift with your books.Stay tuned for more giftable books tomorrow and follow along on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram with the hashtag #ALUseasonsreadings.
