pickA short but very timely read, I breezed through this book and by all the quotes I posted you should be able to tell that I found most of it very useful & quite interesting, even if disheartening at times. Definitely a must read for our current times....although sadly it most likely won't be read by the portion of the population that could benefit from it. 😕

pickHonest, open, unabashedly raw account of one transwoman's journey from awareness, through her evolution into womanhood. She also isn't afraid to reveal all the pitfalls and traps for young woman with little to no resources and very little family support or understanding. You will want to weep for her even as she details how much worse things could have been. This audiobook was all the better for being read by the author & told in her #OwnVoices
pickVery moving graphic novel, with contributions from multiple artists expressing their fear, sadness, loss, hope, and bravery (plus so much more) following The Pulse nightclub shooting. Definitely worth checking out, but bring your tissues with you. #ManyStoriesMonday #OwnVoices #MulticulturalMonday #DiversityMonday
pickMoving powerful read about being black in America today. Definitely recommend this one! Plus it's a great choice for #ManyStoriesMonday #OwnVoices #DiversityMonday #MulticulturalMonday
Finishing up one audiobook (a re-read for me) before a discussion group & starting the other for @LitsyFeministBookClub (better late than never😉). Looks like a good set for a #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoriesMonday #WNDB photo.
Side note: Between the World and Me is even more powerful on audio & the 2nd time around...so much more has happened this past year right in front of our eyes, live on the news, that it's even more visceral this time 😢
pickThe best books about a group you might have little knowledge or understanding of, is a book that let's you sit and have a conversation with them about how they think, feel, what works for them and what doesn't. This book with one-on-one conversions with trans teens from different parts of the gender identity spectrum is a great place to start putting real faces and stories to the experiences of others. Worth the read! #WNDB #ManyStoriesMonday
Great note from the author on this book!

pickI remember reading this on my phone while making a huge pot of chili, browning and stirring with one hand and swiping pages with the other because I #CouldntPutItDown even though we had dinner guests coming! #unputdownable #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge @RealLifeReading A good one for #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoriesMonday #WNDB #DiversityMonday too.
