Location: Austria		First of all, I can't thank you guys enough for creating this challenge. I have tons of books written by women on my TBR and, you know how it is, I plan to read them all - eventually. But thanks to this challenge, I'm now reading Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan and loving it. It is really dark and mythical and actually made me very uncomfortable (there's rape and incest in no small amount). But it's also brilliant. So far, I can definitely recommend it.

Because it was mentioned here before: The feminist streak is definitely there, but personally, I don't feel like Lanagan is lecturing me. There is at least one decent male character so far and a whole range of others that are just human - flawed and not always likable. Not all men are inherently evil in Tender Morsels.
