This week, I’m sharing 13 (!!) books featuring monstrous creatures of all kinds. And I'm calling it creature features *for the girlies* because these books are all authored by non-cis-white-male writers, and they feature a diverse cast of main characters human and not-so-human.

Tune in to hear about a few fantastical reads, and grab the (affiliate) links below to purchase!
