Gender Queer: A Memoir Deluxe Edition | Maia Kobabe

pick

Experiencing Gender Queer was transformative. Maia tells their story of self-discovery, and navigating gender with a lot of candidness and vulnerability. From the very first chapter, I was enthralled. Maia‘s progression from confusion, then realization, to finally embracing, is one that I think a lot of people (regardless of gender, sexuality, or simply existentially) can relate to...

In Transit: Being Non-Binary in a World of Dichotomies | Dianna E. Anderson

Now for the standout non-fiction of the first half of the year. I remain surprised that nature non-fiction never rates as high. I think I just enjoy them without them making the same impact.

Ander & Santi Were Here | Jonny Garza Villa

I loved this author‘s first book, so when I had the chance to meet him in April I jumped at the chance. It was a total fangirl moment. I‘m not sure he was as excited to meet me🤣. It‘s sweet and well written, with important commentary on identity, belonging, and immigration but I just didn‘t really connect with it. I guess I‘m not the one it‘s written for. 🤷‍♀️

peanutnine Very cool you got to meet the author! 6d

Nutmegnc @peanutnine it was so cool. He‘s very low-key and I was so excited I was trying not to pass out. 🤣🤣🤣 6d

Vera Bushwack | Sig Burwash

pick

An ambitious, impressive graphic novel set in Cape Breton about Drew roughing it on their property and building themselves a cabin. It's also a beautiful love story between Drew and their dog and full of gendered power fantasies of Drew's assless-chaps-wearing, horseback-riding alter-ego, Vera Bushwack, into whom Drew escapes when they're in the zone chainsawing or dirtbiking. Deeply feminist, re: masculinity, sexual assault, and mansplaining.
