reading Empress by Shan Sa and Wu Zetian was totally badass.
really really cruel….but really badass too.
if you’re a historical fiction/Asian history nerd like me, this is a good book :)

Kate Beaton is my favourite (Canadian!) comic artist, and this is my favourite comic by her. Her webcomic is intelligent and literary and historical and never fails to be funny. I saw her last weekend at TCAF and she is super pleasant in person! She has a couple books and other merch available too.
