2. A report on the largest survey ever of trans Americans’ health was released on Wednesday, June 11, and its findings reaffirmed what many academics, health care providers and trans people already know: gender-affirming care saves and improves lives.

27. Anyone’s Ghost by August Thompson
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely gorgeous queer coming of age that explores that very specific queer experience of desire - “do I want them or do I want to be them”

26. Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sayaka Murata sure does know how to write a book that will leave you utterly speechless at the ending.

25. Sky Daddy by Kate Folk
⭐️⭐️.5

The pitch is far more interesting than this book. The bit got old so fast.

24. The Will of the Many by James Islington
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Okay I get the hype over that ending. What a way to finish a book!!!

23. The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unfortunately found this one pretty underwhelming! Am I over cult books?! But extra points for the glorious lesbian love story, who wouldn’t upend everything they know for a beautiful woman

22. Stinkbug by Sinead Stubbins
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Very fun examination of modern corporate culture and it is truly hell that several moments of this literal *gothic* book have genuinely happened to me or people I know in corporate

21. Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book deserves all the stars. One of the most harrowing and brutal books I’ve ever read. Absolutely exceptional horror.

20. Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally finished trilogy 1! Look this was obviously epic but my god only Robin Hobb could make me sit through those first 400 pages.

19. Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson
⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lot of mixed feelings on how this book interacts with the characters of book 1 (which is one of my favourite scifi books of all time).

oh my god I think I would just perish on the spot 😂

16, 17 & 18. The Captive Prince trilogy by C. S. Pacat
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A colleague asked me where he should start with C.S. Pacat and explaining all of the options made me want to immediately reread one of my favourite series. So I did.

15. One Day Everyone Will Have Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve never wanted to highlight a book more. Devastatingly astute in its rending of the West. Commentary on way language is weaponised by media + behaviour of arts orgs felt particularly relevant (hello Creative Australia).
