I've returned to Pagebound after a very tricky Winter season and am in need of a pick me up 🌸 My engagement got called off (we're still together), I've slowly been returning to work and baton twirling following breaking my ankle last October so I've been very sleepy and drained, and my health has not been the best unfortunately 💔 Some good things though are I've competed at my first contest after the injury and achieved an award in all 5 events I did (including an All-Catch), I've been praised at work, I'm getting back into reading after a 5 month reading slump, I'm meeting up with my friends more and talking more!!

The Trans Rights Readathon is only 2 days away! Here are my reads that I have a physical copy for.

Not pictured are the digital reads:

• We Both Laughed In Pleasure, the Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan
• The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne
• The Flowered Blade by Taylor Hubbard

And the audiobooks:

• Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson by Tourmaline
• The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach
• My Body is Distant by Paige Maylott

I'm so excited! I will be donating to The Equality Network and The Outside Project again this year 🏳️‍⚧️

I also have a book suggestion list for those who are looking to find some trans reads, whether for the readathon or just in general!
