I'm trans, FtM, and this book hits on my exact fears. My body changing, lack of control, people turning against me. I knew AJW hit all the right points after reading his YA books but oh my god, this book has haunted me profusely since I read it. Any other trans folks read this and feel more resonance with this book than any other they've read?

I'm going abroad for a while and I am looking for cozy/interesting/absorbing books to read for comfort when I feel out of place. I mainly want something that isn't too scary or sad but that still has a story that fully pulls you into the pages. I love romance but I cannot deal well with books where one character is only there to serve as a love interest, so I mostly end up reading queer stories, but if anyone has good het recommendations for page-turner romances I'm open to that as well. Page-turner non-fiction book recs would also be much appreciated!!

Hi all~

Last year I tried to branch out and read genres that I normally don’t (I usually stick to fantasy and literary fiction with a sprinkle of sci-fi). I’m not a huge non-fiction reader (really only read some req. readings during a couple of classes in grad school) but I wanna challenge myself this year to read more non-fiction books. Please leave me some recs!

Here are some books I’m thinking of adding to my tbr this year: • Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton • Not “a nation of immigrants”: Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz • Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers by Caroline Fraser • A Flower Traveled in My Blood by Haley Cohen Gilliland • Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur by Dean Van Nguyen

I don’t think I’ve ever seen/read a book before where the chapter names run on from each other to tell a cohesive story/the story? Or maybe I’ve just never noticed as I’ve always read physical books until recently, and seeing the table of contents laid out in the ebook made it more obvious? Either way, cool!
