Barnes & Noble, Inc.

I’m Lauren from the Barnes & Noble in College Station, and one of my favorite authors of ALL time is R. F. Kuang. The second I read the Poppy War series, I became obsessed and haven’t looked back once. I’m so thrilled to read Katabasis when it comes out, and I am seriously counting down the seconds until I get my hands on a copy. #WHM

Hi! I’m Rachel from the Clarence B&N in Buffalo, NY. While I have read countless novels by female authors, one of my recent favorites has been Elsie Silver. Her female characters are fierce protectors of themselves and their loved ones. Silver writes love stories that we would only be so lucky to experience in our lifetime. #WHM

My names Alexis from Barnes & Noble Clarence, NY and my favorite series is the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Mass. A story of a young assassin who wished for a better world made me sit and stare at the wall for hours thinking. All of her female characters show the multitudes of womanhood and the different strengths that each holds. #WHM

Hello my name is Marissa! I'm a Senior Bookseller at Barnes and Noble Clarence and at the Walden Galleria store! This month I'm doing my best to highlight Women authors in Horror! I find that Women in Horror are always pushing the boundaries and creating something new and exciting. They keep reading interesting! I love how so many women authors put their on twists on the horror genre, on class tropes. I love how they can hold a mirror to their reader and ask "Is this you? Is this us?" #WHM

“but women, with their canny intuitions, were so much deeper: they could predict what was to come long before it came, dream it overnight, and read your mind.” ― Claire Keegan Celebrate Women's History Month with some of our favorite Irish authors ?????? #WHM

Hello! My name is Shayla, and I’m from Barnes & Noble in Bozeman, MT. One of my favorite female authors is Riley Black. I absolutely love her book The Last Days of the Dinosaurs. Riley is not only a highly respected paleontologist but also a science correspondent for Smithsonian Magazine. As a woman pursuing a career in paleontology, I admire Riley for blazing a trail for more women in science. #WHM

Hi! I’m Leticia from Danbury Barnes & Noble and my favorite book (at the moment) is The Favorites by Layne Fargo. If you want a novel with drama, complicated relationships, yearning, and female ambition, this is perfect for you. #WHM

Hi, I’m Nicole from the Barnes & Noble in Brick, NJ. Practically ALL my favorite books have been written by women, which made choosing one this month to showcase a nearly impossible feat. But, Carmen Maria Machado’s genre bending work is both comic and deadly serious as it delves into the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited upon their bodies. #WHM

Hi, I'm Rachel from Barnes and Noble in Bozeman, MT. My favorite book by a female author is Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Like her fierce antiheroine, Mitchell was tough-as-nails, writing her masterpiece while enduring chronic pain. She also fought to protect her book’s international copyright, setting legal precedents that remain in place today. #WHM
