"Maybe my mother is God, and that's why nothing I do pleases her. Maybe my mother is God, and that's why even though she never once saved me, I keep praying that this time she will."

Wow, what a beginning that this book is absolutely living up to.

More satire and less horror than I expected, this was painfully real in its portrayal of immature tech bro masculinity and so-called allies who can't be bothered to get something as simple as someone's pronouns right. It had me cringing. I loved Sammie as a character and the art style was fun! #TransBooks #QueerBooks #HorrorBooks

Kai Cheng Thom's collection of essays displays her trademark combination of searing intellect and critical thinking with deep empathy and compassion. I admire her work so much! She discusses and unpacks a lot of issues inside leftist and queer social justice communities, from #MeToo, suicide, activists' tendency to demand perfection and correct rhetoric over learning and inclusion, white queers asking for her "trans ethnic story," and more. ?

I've never read a book so visceral and heartbreaking while simultaneously so life-affirming and full of love. This is a collection of comics the author made the two years following the death of her partner. It does much more than nearly all the other comics I've read and does it so differently, it almost doesn't feel like a comic. But, of course, it is. The formal experimentation and abstract art pair perfectly with Leavitt's brutally honest words

The Duke's Sister and I | Emma-Claire Sunday

A delightful sapphic Regency romance! Loretta is a perfect society lady hiding anything authentic about herself (her intellect and interest in books), who is taken by the sister of the Duke courting her. Charlotte--who already knows she's gay, unlike Loretta--is a bit of a ruffian and a secret painter. I loved the glimpses of a secret queer underground! I wanted a little more depth in the secondary characters & their relationships with the MCs.

"deserve deserve / what a sad little word"

"Every day of my life has been something othe than my last"

"If not even my memories love me enough to stay"

This poetry collection is so good! #QueerBooks

Vera Bushwack | Sig Burwash

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.
