|isbn=1523092734|title=A Women's Guide to Claiming Space|author=Eliza Van Cort|rating=5|genre=Politics and Society|summary=''She brings a hug-kick-thunderclap that every woman needs in her life. Again and again and again.'' (Alma Derricks, former CMO, Cirque du Soleil RSD) ''To claim space is to live the life of choosing unapologetically and bravely. It is to live the life you've always wanted.'' Sometimes the reviewing gods are generous: at a time when violence against women is much in the news, ''A Women's Guide to Claiming Space'' by Eliza Van Cort dropped onto my desk. Now - to be clear - this book is not a 'how to disable your attacker with two simple jabs' manual: it's something far more effective, but discussion at the moment seems to be about how women can be ''protected''. I've always thought that women need to rise above this, to be people who don't need protection, people who claim their own space. If all women did this, those few men who are violent to women would realise that we are not just an easy target to be used to prove that they are big men.}}=='''13 MAY'''=={{Frontpage|isbn=1529407249Saima Mir|title=The Perfect Lie|author=Jo SpainVengeance|rating=43.5|genre=Crime|summary=It was July 2019 and Erin was happy.
