Recs if you like Care Of: Letters, Connections, and Cures...

Books that are part memoir part another genre: in a way that blends multiple mediums and/or themes in unique and engaging ways. Magical, explosive and memorable narratives expressed with creativity and depth. Books that inspire me to write more.

Fiction and non-fiction with significant intergenerational exchange/learning/teaching/relationship between trans and/or queer characters/people.

This list is in progress, please recommend in the comments! Especially interested in:

• positive exchanges between people of different generations, especially BIPOC and marginalized people
• characters learning about organizing from people of other generations
• multigenerational family stories with multiple trans/queer characters

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Stories to keep alive.

here are some books that hooked me easily when i was getting into reading nonfiction. Many memoirs but also less academic/more personal/humorous feminist lit and queer theory :3
