Trying to balance the grim textbookiness of Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth with Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire, The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman, season six of Castle, and Avengers Academy 2.0 and I think I’m getting whiplash. I mean, we need more feminism and magic and less patriarchy and captialism and variety is the spice of life, and The Beauty Myth is too hardcore to read without breaks, but going from that to magical doors and back again is kinda wild.
