Happy International Women's Day!! Today we've got
Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin as recommended by our bookseller, Ryan!
“Fun, like most things, is subjective. And I think that this book is equally as fun as it is important. You may think so too if you enjoy hating TERFs, zombie apocalypses, gore, bad ass trans women, and great storytelling. This debut from Felker-Martin will leave you with crossed fingers and toes for whatever is next.”
