During last few years I have found so many different kind of lists of books from internet. "100 best books in the history" or "100 books you should read before you die" and so on. Those are fun lists. It's interesting to see how many books have you read and how many authors you haven't even heard about.
But for some reason are very many great female writers missing from these lists. And that's why I ended up making my own list. Click here and you can find those 100 female writers that I think everybody should read before they die. I took to my list only those writers who I have read myself and can that way I can guarantee that all of them are definitely worth of reading!
This new list of mine, on the other hand, is a list of 100 female writers who I have not read before, but who I think I should try. I can't be sure that these are good ones, but I promise to try and see. Maybe you should too!
