The Divorce Colony: How Women Revolutionized Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier (April White)
In the late 19th century, traveling to Sioux Falls was the easiest way to get a divorce - after only 90 days of residency. So the city's largest hotel turned into a "divorce colony" of women (and some men) waiting for their freedom. The book is an awesome read, full of personal stories.

The Land Where Lemons Grow (Helena Attlee)
The author travels across Italy, exploring the history of various citrus fruits. I never knew citrus could be such a fascinating topic, but the book was an amazing read. From the connections of lemons to the Sicilian mafia, through the orange-throwing carnival of Ivrea, all the way to Renaissance hybrid citrus collections. 🍋 🍊

It was exciting as usual, and led me to some great #nonfiction books. So, I'm going to share my reading list. No one asked, but here it is.

By "fantasy" I mean post-apocalyptic western with mutant superpowers :D
This series does diversity right. It's part of the setting. The story also features a very cute throuple, a demisexual main character, and realistic depiction of PTSD. And yes, it's well written and exciting. Final book out in October.

I just decided that I'll do another reading challenge - reading 26 epics about women.
And yes, I already have a list. 26 traditional epics with female protagonists from around the world.
Hopefully a year will be enough to read all of them 😄

Despite how much the translator's introduction trashes it as a hack job, I am really enjoying it so far (some Classical philologists need to chill).
It opens with the fight against Typhon, which is a pretty epic boss fight, even by mythological standards.
