For the ninth day of the Twelve Days of Inkwell, we would like to imagine that the nine ladies dancing are at a rave similar to those in Rave On: Global Adventures in Electronic Dance Music. Matthew Collin uncovers the history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) to find out how this dance subculture has taken the world by storm in the past three decades.

For the tenth day, while we might not have ten lords a-leaping, we can still Jump at the Sun with Kim McLarin’s poignant historical fiction. Readers can sympathize with the main character’s grief and path of overcoming isolation as Grace Jefferson attempts to find her footing as a stay at home mother in the aftermath of the Civil Rights movement.
