🏳️‍⚧️ #SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern #TransRightsReadathon 🏳️‍⚧️

These are my books for the #TransRightsReadathon

All library books on purpose

This is my second year

I‘m donating to my towns community center Out On The Lakeshore- a Community Center Serving West Michigan's LGBTQ+ (as you can imagine it‘s not easy in my town).

KadaGul @TheBookHippie I can say with some confidence it's not easy for the majority of cities and states. 1mo
TheBookHippie @KadaGul True. It‘s exceptionally horrific here, any kid I mentor and send off to college- I tell them to not return. (edited) 1mo
KadaGul @TheBookHippie It's unfortunate to admit, but it's challenging. To have the best opportunities, one may need to be in Chicago, New York, or LA. I understand how limited that may feel 1mo

BookmarkTavern I live in Utah, so I completely understand. ❤️ Thank you for sharing! 1mo
willaful I've just started my second book, Stars in Their Eyes by Jessica Walton. Graphic novel, non-binary author and I think non-binary character.

Things are pretty good for my daughter in our very blue area, but I'm terrified about what the future might hold.

I love Joel Christian Gill's work, but this just didn't do it for me. It felt like an adaptation from someone way too familiar with the source material; there wasn't a good flow, and it felt like things were glossed over. I would be interested in reading the original text, but I had a hard time with this version.

I didn't read this word for word #outloud to my students. I just don't have time for all the words 😢 but they got a kick out of this page. Our 3rd graders just performed this song dor the MLKjr concert.

I‘m pretty sure this was going to be the month I didn‘t buy any books, but then I read the tagged book and had to own my own copy, and somehow all those other friends with really good deals made their way into my kart… 🙄 #bookmail #feedingtheaddiction

Crazeedi It's rather easy to do 🥰 2mo

I had seen the movie and was a little familiar with the authors story. It was good to read this and get more of the story and more details. The Equal Justice Initiative does amazing and much needed work. Thankful for the work they are doing.

#faceoncover #luckyinlove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks One of my top reads from this month! I sent away for my very own copy as soon as this one went back to the library.

Well, Sunday's #Hyggehour readathon did not go to plan. I was planning on reading The Glass Universe by Dava Sobel. Unfortunately, this little chap had to be rescued from a cat fight. I spent the hour calming him and treating his wounds. Poor boy 🐾

I wanted at least one contemporary read specifically in honor of black history month, and I ended up being blown away by this for more reasons than I could possibly fit in a single review! I appreciate political fiction most when it‘s not heavy handed, and maybe that‘s one reason I‘ve had especially good luck with novels in verse. 👇🏼

IndoorDame I also found the concurrent theme of finding hope in art to ring very true even within the brutal landscape of the American industrial prison complex. 3mo

#hyggehour is on the late side tonight cause I spent most of the 8 o‘clock hour soaking in a hot bath. I do feel much more relaxed now, and kitty and I are finally settling down with a cup of tea and this incredible book that I started this morning. #litsolace

TheBookHippie @marleed and I were discussing this book today as well. It‘s so very good. 3mo

IndoorDame @marleed @TheBookHippie I‘ve only read the first 60 pages, but I‘m already blown away! I‘ve read several other books evoking this theme and none do it half so seamlessly. 3mo
