Trans rights are human rights, and human rights are fresh.

Finished in September: 🎧 Private Rites by Julia Armfield read by Hannah van der Westhuysen. A dismal, disqueiting, and apocalyptic novel loosely based on King Lear. Highly recommend. #QueerBooks

Finished in September: 🎧 Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet) read by Julie Lumsden, Katie Anvil Rich, Shaun Taylor-Corbett, and Jordan Waunch. Thriller told in the voices of four teens. I cried multiple times listening to it. I'm looking forward to whatever Cobell writes next.

Finished in September: 🎧 One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston read by Natalie Naudus. Slightly less steamy than The Pairing, this paranormal-light romance was sweet and satisfying. #QueerBooks

Finished in September: 🎧 Exhalation by Ted Chiang read by Edoardo Ballerini, Dominic Hoffman, Amy Landon, Ted Chiang. I didn't know that Chiang wrote Arrival until after I finished this collection of short stories. He's an amazing writer with novel takes on the meaning of being human. #QueerBooks

Finished in August: 🎧 Guilt by Association by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. I'm still hooked on these despite the painful internalized homophobia of the main characters (and the externalized homophobia of Wahredua, Missouri). #QueerBooks

Finished in August: 🎧 Paternity Case by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. More Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset fighting, flirting, and solving mysteries. But I really didn't enjoy the horrific crime in this one. #QueerBooks

Finished in August: 🎧 Transposition by Gregory Ashe read by Tristan James. I have mixed feelings about this entries series of "will they (detective partners), won't they" and "hate to love" mysteries. But I am reading all of them. #QueerBooks

Finished in July: 📕 Rachel Carson: Pioneer of Ecology by Kathleen V. Kudlinski. I found this in a #littlefreelibrary. I didn't really know anything about her and this was a great overview. Well researched and well written. #Nonfiction books written for tweens are often solid intros to a subject.

Finished in July: 🎧 Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky, read by the author. Finally, I've read one of Tchaikovsky's books! He's a brilliant writer and very good narrator! Hey, I like spiders. If you don't, heed the title, heavy spider content. #Fantasy

Finished in July: 🎧 Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz, read by Em Grosland. Cozy, post-apocalyptic, novella about robots running a restaurant. Some peril. Inherently queer. If you Becky Chambers' books, you will like this. Stand out narration on the audiobook too!
