My favorite book of November was The Lilac People (although this would tie for Jeff Hiller‘s book Actress of a Certain Age). I always feel like I‘m over the countless WWII stories. Then you find one that discusses a piece of history I knew nothing about. This fictional story portrays the life of a transgender couple before & after WWII living in Germany. The story is loosely based on real accounts. #12Booksof2025
pickMy 2nd book off my #AuldLangSpine list and my first 5 🌟 of 2026. Every time I think I‘m done with WWII history another book comes along with a missing piece in my knowledge and understanding.
For those participating in #BookedinTime this would be a great read for June‘s prompt LGBT History Berlin 1930‘s

#12Booksof2025 August / Book 8 : highlighting these two books from #camplitsy25 that I loved and wouldn't have had on my radar without the buddy read!
This has made all my lists, and a lot of other people's too, I see. Well deserved.

Another semi-difficult choice for July as I also read & loved Death of the Author & I Who Have Not Known Men, but this #CampLitsy2025 pick really had my heart. ❤️❤️❤️
So I know it's pretty early in the day, but I fully intend to sit in PJs and read/relax all day, so this #jolabokaflodswap package is an amazing way to do that. Thank you @Jess861 for the incredibly yummy looking chocolate, the Casey Plett book (I have wanted this for so long!) and even a bonus book! You are so incredibly generous - I hope you have a wonderful Jolabokaflod today 🎄😊📚
pickThis is a really interesting, thought-provoking primer on gender non conformity. You may not agree with Alok's critique of the gender binary, but their counter arguments to common criticisms of gender nonconforming people are well put.
