Hello!
I know this post is super late but better late than never right? January was a good reading month for me, I managed to read 6 books which is a tenth of my reading goal completed already! I also had THREE 5* reads to start off my year. Here's what I read:

The Yellow Wallpaper Book Review
Book Title: The Yellow WallpaperAuthor: Charlotte Perkins Gilman
My Rating: 4*
Publisher: Dover Publications
Publication Date: first published 1892
Genre(s): Classic, Short Stories, Feminism
Pages: 288
Format Read: E-book
Goodreads: Written from a feminist perspective, often focusing on the inferior status accorded to women by society, the tales include "turned," an ironic story with a startling twist, in which a husband seduces and impregnates a naïve servant; "Cottagette," concerning the romance of a young artist and a man who's apparently too good to be true; "Mr. Peebles' Heart," a liberating tale of a fiftyish shopkeeper whose sister-in-law, a doctor, persuades him to take a solo trip to Europe, with revivifying results; "The Yellow Wallpaper"; and three other outstanding stories.
These charming tales are not only highly readable and full of humour and invention, but also offer ample food for thought about the social, economic, and personal relationship of men and women — and how they might be improved.
