  Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance Page Count: 394 pages Synopsis: For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind. Sam’s stuck.

With March being Women's History Month, I figured this is the perfect month for me to heavily focus on women-authored books. A 2018 study found that from 2002-2012, indie publishing largely replicates traditional publishing's gender discrimination patterns, showing allocative, valuative, and within-job discrimination. We may have come so far when it comes to women empowerment, but I think we should also admit that there's still a load of work to do to even further this empowerment. As a woman reader and bookish content creator, I thought that I can amplify more women authors by reading more of their works and by talking about them. Thus, here's a list of books written by women that I am really excited to read this month!
