Really interesting memoir about growing up nonbinary and asexual. I read for a variety of reasons but one is to experience what is outside of my own microcosm and this book certainly does that. I can also imagine this book being a lifeline for anyone who is questioning their own gender. It‘s so important that works like this remain accessible for everyone.
When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

The B&N I went to for all my childhood is moving buildings, which means: 50% off everything in the store! Not a bad little haul.
When I was seven winters of age, my mother caught me in the hearth stacking red-hot coals with my bare hands.

Next to read! I started it last night and it's ok so far. I just have to keep reminding myself that Hou Yi is a woman this time (in the legends I believe they're only a man? At least the ones I've read to this point) #netgalleybacklog

Whew Whee!!! I adored this book. Ox and Joe may be my all time favorite couple. Especially for 2025. #QueerBC @PuddleJumper This promises to be an amazing series.
The best book I read in Feb. Other books might have been more interesting or unique, but again, it is the polished writing that I enjoyed in this one.

so-soI really enjoyed this until about half way through then it began to drag.
I liked the romance, the transition from fake dating to feelings was well done and I liked the banter.
