I am a big fan of RuPaul so I really enjoyed this one. He had an interesting life and I learned a lot about his upbringing. I was disappointed that he did not touch on his relationship with Michelle Visage, or with his Drag Race show. Hopefully that will be covered in another book.

Sara_Planz We are going to RuPaul‘s Drag Show here in Vegas tomorrow. Loved this book! 3h

This is not an easy read but it is an inspiring one. Ma-Nee experienced multiple episodes of violence and abuse, racism, homophobia, and homelessness. Her ability to forgive and to release the bitterness and anger towards those who caused her harm is beautiful and hard won. This may not be the best written narrative but it is an amazing one. #CanadaReads

In the Dream House: A Memoir | Carmen Maria Machado
post image
Pickpick

I don't know that I can even review this one. Carmen Maria Machado has presented the most clever, vulnerable, and researched memoir I have yet to come across. The realities of abuse as chronicled are horrifying but the force of the storytelling is absolutely inspiring. In awe of this, actually.

When the Moon Was Ours | Anna-Marie McLemore

Based on her husband‘s experiences, McLemore brought these characters and this world to life beautifully. Magical realism with secrets, lore and superstitions. Powerful and vulnerable at the same time.

Mehso-so

The upside/downside of an organization like the NYT highlighting the best books of the year is that it brings those books to wider attention, but seriously increases expectations. I thought this memoir of transitioning late in life would blow my socks off and it just didn‘t. I‘m so glad it exists and hope to see more trans stories being told, but it just didn‘t meet my expectations.

'"how could you do this to me?" said the Sun to the Moon
"how could you steal my light?"
a tear rolled down her pale cheek.
"i just wanted to be seen," said the Moon'
