I have enough to read, I told myself. I‘ll just pick up my two holds (one for #hashtagbrigade) and not look at the other books. But… they had this staff picks table right at the entrance… and can I resist a sapphic selkie story? No, no I cannot. (I‘m glad to see at least that I‘d already stacked it thanks to a couple of positive reviews! And the fact that it‘s a sapphic selkie story.)

An emotional examination of grief and queer identity. Excellent narration!
August wrap up!
Loved this #camplitsy read and got through a lot of #lgbtqia books!
10 books is a lot for me! The job search continues but I‘m spending my downtime reading and crocheting to relax and not stress out!
A bright queer Victorian romance featuring bicycles, botany, redemption all over the place, and hilarious side characters. I loved this book! It is always fun finding a book that I can see my own relationship reflected in. I‘m also a sucker for enemies to lovers and redemption of antagonist characters. This book also has some really well done love scenes. #LGBTQIA #VictorianRomance #Botany #Bikes
History buff and reactor Amos discovers the people who are missing or barely acknowledged from our history. In this story told through letters he writes to a trans civil war soldier, he recounts his efforts to change this. I enjoyed this middle grade read, and learned some stuff along the way, which is a great bonus. #LGBTQIA #History #CivilWar
For my Topics bookclub we are reading “Cryptids” in September, and this was available on audio from my library. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
Noah is 12 and trans and in deep grief over loss of his best friend Lewis. Lewis loved the legend of Mothman, so Noah starts writing to the Cryptids and leaving the letter notebook outdoors overnight. Someone seems to be reading the letters, but who?
Noah navigates school, new friends, bullies.
