Welcome to Litsy!

For my Topics bookclub we are reading “Cryptids” in September, and this was available on audio from my library. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

Noah is 12 and trans and in deep grief over loss of his best friend Lewis. Lewis loved the legend of Mothman, so Noah starts writing to the Cryptids and leaving the letter notebook outdoors overnight. Someone seems to be reading the letters, but who?

Noah navigates school, new friends, bullies.

Recently listened to the podcast Beyond Suspicion interesting that she went and got the professionals in for advice, it was good.
Started reading More Me With You by Alex Bertie so far quite interesting.
(Can't find the book on litsy)

We went camping for my birthday, and made sure to bring hammocks and books to enjoy together. I love reading in my hammock! #Camping #ReadOutside #Hammock

This is such a sweet, honest look at one couple's experience with an individual's transition. The author doesn't shy away from the lows and the struggles, but it is a very affirming read. She does a great job of giving space for both her and her partner's voice. It was wonderful to read their story, and I'm grateful that they were comfortable sharing their journey.

A solid found AND birth family book with some non-scary ghost stuff thrown in. Lots of Jewish culture and experience as well. A great #queer #trans romance! #summerreading #summerjob

Angel travels down to London to stay for a week with her online friend Juliet, the climax of the trip being to see their favourite boy band, The Ark, perform.

Told alternatively from the viewpoints of Angel and Jimmy, The Ark's lead singer, this was a quick read exploring the nature of fandoms and fanfics and the pressures on their recipients of such adoration.
