Alana's Reviews > Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend

even though i ostensibly read this book to hear about the authors book collecting journey, her personal experience, thoughts and anecdotes were the least interesting part of the read by far. I’m super happy that she reads works by Black authors but I found myself frequently asking “why is she telling me this???” and the answer often seemed to be because she wanted to emphasize how Woke and Feminist and an Ally she was. If I wanted to read a book like this I would have read an Angela Davis novel!!
