Stephanie B says:
This book made Cleopatra my new Roman... err... Egyptian empire.
This feminist historical retelling reframes the infamous Egyptian queen not as a villainous seductress, but as a brilliant, nuanced ruler fighting for her throne.

I am an adult services librarian who likes short walks to the fridge and long evenings at the park walking the dogs with my husband. To keep my imagination open, I read and watch a little of everything-- from crazy unreliable narrator thrillers to lighthearted rom-coms to fascinating nonfiction. I can be bribed with tacos.
