Posted @withrepost • @readnerdywithme Toil and Trouble by Lisa Kröger and Melanie R. Anderson⁣ ⁣ My Rating: 4/5⁣ ⁣ Toil and Trouble profiles dozens of women from across (largely American) history whose lives have been intertwined with the occult such as Marie Laveau and Anne Putnam Jnr, as well as many women who worked to try and debunk such claims such as Roe Mackenberg, a private investigator who worked with Harry Houdini. It's a fascinating and at times infuriating look at the ways in which women have gained power through the occult, been persecuted by it, and forged relationships with one another through it.⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #toilandtrouble #lisakroger #melanieranderson #instabook #quirkbooks #igbooks #ilovereading #bookhaul #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookstoread #whattoread #nonfiction #feminism #fortheloveofbooks #bookblogging #bookpics #weekendreads #bookrecs #booknerdproblems #bookpictures #amreading #booksbooksbooks #instablog #booknerds #bookphotos #bibliophile #nonfictionbooks
