#essentialbooks. Inspired by @kgriffith ‘s post. The tagged book changed my life. Others made it safe to explore who I was, filled me with rage, spoke to that part of me that will always be a dancer, is still interested in education and equality. One I hold up as my gold standard for nonfiction, and all of them make me want to write like that when I grow up. Slightly missing: Autoboyography and Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir.

kgriffith Love this, thanks so much for sharing 💜 5y
Tonton Feinberg,Monette, Levin, Shilts all in my shelves as well! 5y
bookishkai @kgriffith thanks! @Tonton I feel like Monette and Levin especially are greatly overlooked in queer lit, glad they‘re getting love from someone who isn‘t me. 5y

@brandybear22 asked me tonight about books that are essential to knowing me. She already knew Stone Butch Blues, Matilda, Ender‘s Game. I thought of the tagged book, first in a trilogy and the first adult fantasy novel I ever read, and the Vanyel trilogy, both by Mercedes Lackey. I went into my LibraryThing Favorites to make sure I wasn‘t missing anything obvious. They were my first six entries 😊
How about you, what‘re your #essentialbooks?

Chelsey Ooh, what a good question. I might have to do my own post. If I do, I‘ll tag you 5y
kgriffith @Chelsey Please do! 5y
