Popped over to beautiful Bruny Island for a couple of nights. Surprised to see so many tourists in the middle of winter.
They have 6 little libraries on the island, made by the Men's Shed. I've visited 5 and will swing by no.6 on the way to the ferry.

Cupcake12 This is lovely, we don‘t have many of these in the UK. 2mo
hannah-leeloo We have any? @Cupcake12 😱 2mo

It's a cute color book. It's hard to see, but the authors' names are in pink. #ISpyBingoJune @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2mo

Nice book but only 3.5 stars. I like the idea, but it seemed that the child felt too much pressure to “choose” their pronouns & words for the day. A better way the adults could have dealt with it is explained that the child was still valid even if they couldn‘t find their “words” for the day. Still, a good book for introducing children to the concept of pronouns. ⬇️

IriDas I should add that it was also nice for there to be an acknowledgement that pronouns are not necessarily a permanent structure. That they can be fluid and that‘s perfectly fine too. The kid‘s stress just stressed me out. lol. 3mo

A wonderful collection of Trans and Nonbinary comics. Beautiful illustrations throughout the book.

#Bookhaul! My husband gave me a Powell‘s gift card for Christmas but then said I couldn‘t use until we moved back (rude!). So now that we‘re back and I finished the taxes yesterday, I made the drive and found some great books. I removed myself from the store when too many things started looking good. 😂 You all know how that is.

Ruthiella Fantastic haul! I definitely need to read more Binet. I was fascinated by 5mo
Hooked_on_books @Ruthiella I read this one and loved it: 5mo

sarahbarnes Looking forward to a trip back to Powell‘s when I‘m in OR this summer! (edited) 5mo
Hooked_on_books @sarahbarnes Woohoo! That‘s definitely something to look forward to! 5mo
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain It was great being there. It‘s such an incredible place, though they‘ve moved some stuff around and I always knew where everything was before. 5mo

A choose your own adventure book for learning about gender identity, sexuality, & the differences between biological sex & gender identity.

Fairly basic, sometimes reductive & repetitive, & occasionally plays up stereotypes. But is also a fun starting point for anybody‘s journey into learning more about gender identity, while also briefly touching on the intersections of race, class, & disability & the difficulties facing those groups.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Sparklemn That mug… love it! 😄 5mo
BookmarkTavern @Sparklemn It‘s one of my favorites! 😅 5mo

Soft pick because this is a frustrating, sometimes painful read. It's a great illustration of the phrase “don't be your child's first bully,“ though the mom certainly isn't the worst; she doesn't put her child in conversion camp or pray over him or kick him out, just refuses to accept his name and identity. Just.

It's certainly a valid story and she does learn and grow, becoming a “SuperAlly!“ in the end. Includes a letter from the son.

CarolynM I hadn‘t heard that phrase before, but I think it is apt. In my view too many parents are exactly that☹️ 5mo
CarolynM And it goes well beyond issues like sexuality and gender. 5mo

You fear that Alex will be marginalized, but the first and foremost marginalization is family rejection.
