pickWell, this was splendid. I picked it up at a moment when I could deal with the poetry style. Loved the journey of self-discovery from childhood into university. It gave me some things to think about that I hadn‘t before.

Finishing The Black Flamingo and hopefully Midnight in Chernobyl this weekend. MC is pretty hefty and I have things to do this weekend that—horrors—don‘t include reading.

pickThis was a fun read. It was an epic end to a series. It was full of laughs and good humor. This is a great book to read after a long day. And I finished the audiobook perfectly by turning on the radio and listening to Huntrix‘s Golden, after a long day of dashing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickLegendary Children looks at queer history through the lens and structure of RuPaul‘s Drag Race to shine a light on important figures and moments that paved the way for the show to exist. The culmination of queer culture could easily get lost in time, but this book, and the show, helps keep the love alive.
pickI came to know of The Lady Chablis thanks to the southern scandel in Savannah, GA (‘Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil‘). In this memoir, I got to know her a little better. She had quite a life and was never afraid to live her truth.
Mama got the name Chablis off a wine bottle. She didn‘t think it up for me though. It was supposed to be for my sister. Mama got pregnant when I was sixteen, and she wanted a little girl. She was gonna name her La Quinta Chablis. But then she had a miscarriage, and I said, ‘Oooh Chablis. That‘s nice. I like that name.‘ And mama said, ‘Then take it, baby. Call yourself Chablis from now on.‘ So ever since then, I‘ve been Chablis.
