pickThis was originally for #riseupreads but we got started late. So glad we went ahead and read it though. Great book. My youngest son really enjoyed it and it‘s usually difficult for him to enjoy books without visuals. I liked a story about the importance of being who you really are. And also having a trans character as the main character.
pickLike any short story collection, some stories were more enjoyable than others. I definitely had fun reading this and getting to know or re-experience so many wonderful authors, and I love a good collection with trans and nonbinary characters. My favorites might be the one with the storm lighthouse and the one narrated by the magic school. #LGBTQIA #Magic #ShortStories
Like luscious fairytales from a parallel universe! 😍 Loving The Singing Hills Cycle novellas so much!
pickThis book is so cute, and such a quick read. It‘s cheerful and inclusive. The illustrations are fun and engaging (and sometimes downright funny). This is such a great book for everyone. I firmly believe everyone knows a they, but might not be a safe person to know about it. This book is definitely a step toward that safety and inclusivity everyone needs.

pickI felt so seen reading this! I relate to so much of it, and even managed to find words for certain experiences I‘ve never been able to describe. From the discomfort of tights and dresses, and not liking them letting down our mothers to the let down and struggle of puberty. I know some people felt this book was disjointed and confusing. This is what the inside of my head is like, so this made total sense to me.

That moment when you‘ve been looking for the words to describe this weird feeling and doesn‘t make sense, but does, that doesn‘t make sense to other people who have never felt it. 🤯🤯🤯 Thanks Elliot.

pickFollow Ash as they prepare to run away and live in a cabin their grandpa built in the woods (if it exists). Beautifully illustrated and told. My adult perspective on this book (worried about the logistics of Ash‘s safety and their family‘s fear and grief for their missing teen) is probably a lot different than how teens would experience the book. #Survival
Scavenger hunt: “monster.“
Book reccomendation: “Unhinged.“ But also a rather lovely story!

pick@Catsandbooks and @TheBookHippie thank y‘all for your review of this one! I had initially planned to skip September #RiseUpReads book as it didn‘t initially grip me (I‘m rarely a pirate person) but it was so so much more! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
