Recs if you like Birthday...

i've included fiction books of all genres on this list! please recommend some more so i can add them!!

what can i say? my boy has taste™. bonus points if you read the same as Nick and Charlie! We see them with 10 Things I Hate About Plato by Jack Maddox and Queer City by Peter Ackroyd!

All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks

In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.

This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!

Books with Trans rep and all the identities under the Trans umbrella, like non binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, etc.

My favorite queer reads, great for reading on lazy summer days in the park!
