And, you know, so I think that that was sort of where I saw myself more in

And, you know, this idea that even, you know, everyone can be brave in some ways.

I think that was kind of the message that I took from a lot of those books.

And then again, I think that's the through line to kind of the fantasy that we're seeing now because we have so many amazing stories that feature women in all sorts.

Like I love that we are seeing characters like, you know, Siona from Blood Over Bright Haven, which we covered on this podcast, who is also so flawed as well.

Like it doesn't.

They don't always have to be likeable or this kind of like, you know, relatable to every person.

Like you can read about this whole kind of range of experiences.

I'm really excited to read that one, too.

I haven't gotten to it yet, but it is like next on the list.

I'm also looking forward to reading The Changeling by Kate Forsyth because I think another genre we haven't really covered yet on the podcast is kind of like fairy tales and fantasy or kind of like that mythology inspiration.

And we will be doing an interview with Kate down the line.

So, yeah, this is everyone's call out to start reading.

She's truly the queen of that space.

Honestly.

Yeah.

And for like so long as well.

Like I remember seeing her books online.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Definitely.
