The Tiger Queens by Stephanie Thornton | Book Review
June 4, 2015
I feel like I have treated The Tiger Queens: The Women Of Genghis Khan by Stephanie Thornton a bit unfairly. You see, I had signed up for a blog tour for this book before I had that one life turning point and so, it took me forever to work up the energy to read this […]

It sounded like a smart and thoughtful graphic memoir.
