Comics
Wonder Woman: Come Back to Me - this is collected edition of issues that were released in Wal-Mart. Nice story about Wonder Woman and Etta Candy (whose look in this version is great) saving Steve Trevor. I love how Wonder Woman is drawn in this series.
Wonder Woman Vol 7 and Vol 8 (2011-2016) - I found the plotting in Vol 8 to be a bit too loose. I do like the full armor look, though.
Feminist
Sex and Lies: True Stories of Women's Intimate Lives in the Arab World by Leila Slimani - Slimani is better know for her fiction, but this book, coming out of the reaction to her book Adele, is a look at women of various ages and classes in Morocco.
Fiction
Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories by Ryunouke Akutagawa - I really loved "Spider Thread" in this collection.
Folklore and Legend
Cantre'r Gwaleod: The Mysterious Legend of the Ancient Sunken Kingdom Known as the Welsh Atlantis - while containing the four most common legends, there is far too much information that is not on topic.
Historical Fiction
An Object of Conviction by Gene Lessard - The book is about the La Corriveau myth in Quebec. Lessard's method of looking at the story and the conquest of the French Canadians by the British is a bit not to my test. However, his highlighting the impact on French Canada is well done. Recommended.
