I'm a reader, fiber artist and urban homesteader in Southern California. I tend towards historical fiction, fantasy, horror and history, but may dabble in other genres if the book sounds interesting.

    Just wanted to share that the author did an hour-long podcast, discussing the research process and reclaiming trans history. You can listen to that here: https://momadvice.com/post/milo-todd-interview

    Todd also wrote an article on his research for Lit Hub, which can be accessed here: https://lithub.com/uncovering-the-forgotten-the-struggle-for-trans-history-from-nazi-germany-to-today/

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    This should be up my alley, but I've checked out this book twice, and I haven't been drawn in enough to read more than three or four chapters total. Can't point to anything in particular, I am just not engaging with it.

    Was so into listening to this book driving to work this morning that I got off at the wrong exit of the freeway
