Books Are My People #90 with author Tracy Dawson

This week, on Books Are My People, I am visited by Tracy Dawson, author of Let Me Be Frank: A Book about Women Who Dressed Like Men to Do Sh*t They Weren’t Supposed to Do.

Episode 90 covers so much ground:

Who was Ellen Craft?

What shape are humans born to fear?

How did artist @tina_berning work with @dawsontracy to come up with all of the images in the book?

Could you have poisonous books on your shelf?

And more.

And there are so many book recommendations, your TBR list will spill off the page and on to your wall.
