I'm switching things up for #QueerBC in 2026 as I'm really struggling with the monthly schedule
I'm going to randomly pull 3 authors for each month and then you'll vote on them December 2025 so it's all done before the year starts
The author will still be a surprise and voted for by you, this is just a bit easier on me

All welcome🩵🩵🩵🩵
This is a short book, but possibly heavy- so I split it into the parts it already lends to us. The entire book is 130 pages. I think it's an important read. I got this penguin due to the forward by Joy Harjo and the Intro by Louise Erdrich.🖤
