pickListened to the audiobook narrated by the author. We meet Maria, a 20 something trans woman who is finding out she likes her freedom more than being with her gf. The 2nd part of this book is Maria meeting James in Nevada, a trans person who doesn‘t know theyre trans, yet. This book is quite a peek into the mind of a trans person. I hate the ending but love that the author uses such exact language to express every thought and feeling. A pick!
pickThis audiobook adaptation of the early DTWOF comics is perfect, except that it's only available from Audible aka evil Amazon. Mo would NOT approve! That said, I'm glad their money went to a bunch of excellent queer actors (Jane Lynch! Carrie Brownstein! Roberta Colindrez! Roxane Gay!) who did such a great job bringing these 1980s sapphists to life. A great piece of lesbian herstory and a hilarious, politically smart, and heartfelt story. No notes.

Meryl Wilsner's enemies-to-lovers rom-com, "CLEAT CUTE," is officially getting a TV series adaptation!
Former WNBA star Sue Bird and ex-U.S. Women's Soccer captain Megan Rapinoe have teamed up with Jeff Wachtel's Future Shack Entertainment to turn the novel into a scripted series.

so-so
Remnants of the earlier seasons of Shameless and “The Night Always Comes.” It was engaging, but the third person POV felt like I was just watching Emily's story from afar, instead of being in her head. Dark, disappointing, and strange.
pickEntertaining! A refreshing take on the Cinderella story, with a strong heroine. Another excellent choice for #SundayBuddyRead with @TheBookHippie
I got one bingo! Woot! I usually don't read enough make bingo. Melt by Robbi McCoy was my Book Spin. It was an ok book.

After a weekend spent hanging with family (who I adore), I appreciate the effort that goes into building a life to be proud of. It truly takes a village.
Thanks for the tag @KadaGul 😊
so-soParts of this story were great, especially the early portion as the regiment settled into Qazal. It started to unravel near the middle where suddenly there was a forbidden attraction building(ish). From there, it got muddy. I still liked elements of the book, but it was a bit of a slog to finish.
Book 5 of #14books14weeks @Liz_M
pickWritten in 1928 but this "lesbian classic" (as my cover calls it) could easily have been written this year. The language is easy and the prejudices of that day still linger, even as strides are made. I felt for Stephen throughout the book, she is drawn as a vivid and complex character, even when she is doing unwise things I found myself rooting for her (maybe for her to get a grip, but still, rooting).
