2021 Reading: Mother Knows Best

 #27 A book about a social justice issue


Alright, let's see if we can BS our way into making this book about social justice... Hmmm. Well, there's the part about the mother enslaving the dead to do her bidding like slavery? No? Or keeping her young daughters captive in the forest away from the rest of the world like a weird cult away from the rest of society? Still no? How about the oppressive nature of being not only a woman, but a witch in the times surrounding these types of stories where females were thought to be weak-minded and frail, unable to fend for themselves?

Yeah, I give up. Let's just say I stretched it a bit just so I could fit this book in because I wanted to read it, and I didn't really want to read a serious book about social justice issues that might bum me out because I've had enough serious shit to deal with lately as it is and I just wanted something fun.

Yeah. Let's go with that.
