We Are Everywhere: A Visual Guide to the History of Queer Liberation, So Far | Matthew Riemer, Leighton Brown

Happy Pride Month Litsy! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I usually compile a fiction reading list for Pride, but I‘ve decided to get the tagged book instead this year. I have a tiny studio apartment and I‘m wondering if anyone owns photo books on kindle/tablet and if that works or if this is the kind of thing I just need to carve out space for?

Tonton Just me, but photography and art books, absolutely physical. Otherwise Kindle, though will buy book to have to hold sometimes. 10mo

arubabookwoman I have a Kindle Fire and it's a bit small for many art/photo books, although the color reproduction is great. I put the Kindle App on my iPad, and I find that most art, quilting, photography, etc books are just fine-the colors are great and size is usually good. There are sill some I want the physical books but for many the Kindle App on the iPad is great. 10mo

IndoorDame @Tonton @arubabookwoman thank you both for helping me think things through! ❤️🙏 I sourced a used physical copy so I think I‘m going to spring for that this time, but I‘m excited to try out the digital option in the future with ones my library has and see if they work well on my devices. 10mo

Outrageous!: The Story of Section 28 and Britain's Battle for LGBT Education | Paul Baker

pick

I read the first book I bought from #GaysTheWord on the airplane back to Germany, and now I‘m happily laying in my own bed.
#Outrageous (which is signed by the author) is about the history of Section 28, and you can draw so many comparisons to what‘s happening in Republican states in the USA right now… very interesting and well-written.

A Little Gay History: Desire and Diversity Across the World | R. B. Parkinson

pick

This really is a little book, but it's still interesting. It uses the British Museum's collections (with a little bit of help from the British Library) to discuss how same-sex desire has been portrayed in art and literature. It's not an exhaustive account, and many cultures leave no mark: I'd say it's best viewed as highlighting some interesting objects (and some of the lacunae where we can't say), rather than as any kind of complete narrative.

I am taking work from home to a new level and reviewing a book for course adoption from my bath. This is the first time I‘ve brought a highlighter to the bathtub!

Stone Butch Blues | Leslie Feinberg

This book is a difficult but rewarding read. It recounts the brutal, often harrowing experiences of gender queer, transgender, and other lgbtq people that culminated in the events at the Stonewall Inn and other lesser known revolutions. #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqcharacter #lgbtliterature #genderqueer #lgbthistory #queerbook
