pickStevenson‘s yearly reflection web comic shines a lens on dysphoria, feeling like an imposter, and taking a mental health rollercoaster. I enjoyed the art style and thoughtful reflections captured here. #LGBTQIA #TransRightsReadathon
pickI very much loved some of the short stories in this collection, and others were just alright. So fun to find a collection of ace stories! #LGBTQIA #ShortStories #TransRightsReadathon

I own so much of Emezi‘s work, I find it fascinating they can switch so seamlessly between genres.
I really enjoyed this one, it‘s about the seedy underbelly of New Lagos - so much sex and violence. It‘s definitely not for everyone but after reading the SA Crosby for #camplitsy and loving it, I think I have to admit to myself that I enjoy reading violent books 😂
Switches between characters for each chapter so you get different POVs.
Forgot to post this but I finally finished the #TransRightsReadathon challenge for this year!
I‘ve been making #LGBTQIA books a priority and it‘s got me reading a bit more out of my comfort zone and introduced me to new authors!
Definitely recommend giving this challenge a try!

jaye‘s second poetry collection delivers some really good stuff but a few of them missed the mark for me. Maybe it‘s cause I‘m reading on the subway and it‘s hard to take it all in while reading on a phone. 🤷🏻♀️
I do think it‘s important to read more queer, indigenous voices and jaye‘s description of their relationship with their body as a 2 spirit indigiqueer person is really moving.

First Quarter Romance #ReadingBracket2025
The majority of my reads in March were romance, so it was tough to narrow down. But these two I read for the #TransRightsReadathon and really enjoyed them both. The tagged is moving on as my favorite for the quarter. (The bonus pick is The Dandelion and the Thistle btw, it's hard to read so tiny)
Sitting in the sun, Pot Noodle, Cheddars and pop for dinner, listening to Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan albums, just started Juno Dawson's HMRC 🧙♀️ #TransRightsReadathon 🏳️⚧️
Perfect day off 💖😌💖

pickMy third and last book for #transrightsreadathon and an unexpected find in our library. They still had the older version of the book, but I like that they changed the title.
A wonderful and heartfelt story that tells children how it feels to be trans. Actually, this is the way all trans children should find out about themselves and how they should grow up to be who they really are 🏳️⚧️🫶

Not as good as the power but an interesting read!
Science fiction/Speculative Fiction/Dystopian
Started out a little slow, but it builds. Some plot twists I guessed at, others I was genuinely surprised by.
And crochet blanket I finished today as the background!

pickWhat an eye opener! These essays are sometimes hard to read, but I've learnt so much. It's so important to change one's perspective every now and then and starting to see the world through the eyes of someone else. Mika writes about their experience as a queer person with several disabilities and PTSD.
