I wrote a full review of this book on Autostraddle: https://www.autostraddle.com/the-call-is-coming-from-inside-the-house-essay-coll....

A truly incredible essay collection, effortlessly weaving together personal narrative and (pop) cultural criticism. Themes include: motherhood, queerness, pregnancy, true crime, horror movies, bisexuality / labels, patriarchy and men's violence. For fans of Carmen Maria Machado and Melissa Febos.

Apparently there is no age group Nina LaCour can't write for? This transitional chapter book for ages 7-10 was very cute and charming, with a realistic feisty little 9-year-old protagonist named Ella. Ella is the self-imposed expert on the apartment house in San Francisco (and its inhabitants) where she lives with her two moms. Lovely depiction of community and queer parents! Sweet illustrations as well. #QueerBooks

This is a beautiful, subtle story of queer teenage love set in small town Portugal, told alternately in graphic novel and prose poem format. The art is gorgeous, dynamic, and expressive. The words are poetic yet simple, and authentic in a way that brought me right back to being 16 and having a crush.I loved this! Definitely read this if you're a fan of Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki's graphic novels.

"Pardalita, I tried to sit as far away from you as possible. But since we were in a circle, the farthest away meant facing you directly. Not the best plan."

"How far can you be from someone without them noticing you don't want any distance at all?"

Ah, the idiosyncrasies of a queer teenage crush

She Who Became the Sun | Shelley Parker-Chan

This feels mostly like historical fiction so far, with just a note of the speculative (the main character can see ghosts), so I'm not having any trouble at all figuring out the world reading the audiobook. Phew! I am finding the story quite propulsive and I'm interested to see how Zhu develops as a self-interested survivor kind of character. I'm also wondering how living as a boy might affect her gender... #Fantasy #QueerBooks

A great slice-of-life #GraphicNovel about a 30-year-old queer person from Berlin moving verrrrry sloooowly through gender feels and navigating a longterm relationship. There's no judgement on anything or anyone -- the tone is very much "this is what's happening, isn't it interesting" with no hints of morality. The art is bold black and white with pops of red. The spreads of queer dance parties are especially cool! #QueerBooks
