Welcome to Litsy!

I inherited TONS of leftover fruit from my mum‘s coronation party, which means fruit plates all day, every day until it‘s gone! I ate my first one while I read my daily short story. This is a strong anthology so far. #gaymay

I swung by the library and picked up so much quality Gay May content I couldn‘t fit it all in my bike basket in a nicely photographable way. (It did fit in a utilitarian way—barely.)

And I grabbed a book on granny squares into the bargain, because I don‘t know how to make them and I figure it‘s about time I learned. #gaymay

"Laura liked to draw, sometimes she thought she should drop out and pursue it full time, but she didn't feel like being a trans girl starving artist would be a good life path for her. Instead she carried on going to engineering school, working her shitty part time job at the library.... She was quickly getting bored of the mundanity. Therefore, Satan." #24in48 #queerlit #transvoices

A few books that I'd like to read for the #24in48 #readathon also on the list: my massive stash of comics that I am behind on! #comics #lgbtqlit

Oh my God this is an amazing anthology with a huge variety of incredibly inventive, hilarious, and moving science fiction and fantasy stories by trans authors. I was totally blown away by how great the stories were. There were honestly only a few that I didn't love. It's just an astoundingly good collection. #TransBooks

Oh my God this is one of the best short stories I've ever read. #TransBooks

"He wasn't unhappy in his life, not most days, just--so much of his life felt compartmentalized. He wanted to remember what it felt like to have all of himself in the same place at once. That sense of community he'd felt in his queer youth was lost to him now, everyone scattered to all corners, sticky little cottonwood seeds riding the wind."
Oh boy I feel this so hard.

I am five stories into this anthology and holy crap every story is a knock-out. #TransBooks #QueerBooks

I savored each and every story in this anthology. I love speculation fiction, I'm super picky about sci-fi, I don't have much success with fantasy. But I can't think of a single story that didn't delight. All of them were fantastic and fierce. These stories are incredibly diverse in perspective, imagination, and style. Best of all, I ended up with a slew of new-to-me writers to keep an eye on! Don't miss out on this one. #ownvoices #translit #sff

Only one story in, but it was great and funny and just what I was looking for. I am expecting great things from this anthology! #TransBooks #QueerBooks

#Riotgrams & #PrideMonth mean a #Shelfie of #LGBTQ books! On the left are all the books by / featuring trans women writers that I own & on the right are all the books by bisexual authors that I own! Note that some of the writers on the left would also be at home on the right. I wanted to feature these groups as they're more erased, forgotten, & marginalized than their cisgender & monosexual peers in the LGBTQ community. #TransBooks #QueerBooks
