Book three done for the #transrightsreadathon. I loved this one. It was beautifully written and the story was amazing! It had me with all the feels. Yes I cried a bit lol. I can only hope there will be a second one as I need more of their story!

First book for #transrightsreadathon done. It was a good time. Very Nightvale-esque and I really enjoyed it! #trr #booksky

Hi, friends! A few days ago, we shared an IG📸 post from an author who was unwillingly outed by readers in 2023. We have a few notes we want to share for how to keep the readathon safe and successful for everyone. 💕 #trr25 #transrightsreadathon
Slide 1: Trans Rights Readathon Social Etiquette. Slide 2: What and Who is This Post For? This post is a reminder for us all on how to respectfully participate in the Trans Rights Readathon, whether this is your first time on bookish social media, you are an ally, or you simply have any hesitation on the “right” way to participate respectfully. Slide 3: DON’T OUT AUTHORS. First and foremost, the Trans Rights Readathon supports trans folks and wants to minimize harm to real people. In years past, authors have felt pressured and obligated to out themselves to readers in order to be included in the Readathon. Because we never want to forcibly out an author, we promote books that are written by trans+ authors OR feature trans+ main characters. Do not ask or pressure authors to disclose details of their identity that are not already public. Slide 4: Think Before You Review (especially if you are cisgender!) Before you rate a book negatively, ask yourself: • Is there a reason I “don’t relate” to this story? • What is my intention in posting a negative review right now? Can it wait a few weeks? • What are my trans peers saying about this same book? Especially ask yourself these questions for intersectional trans stories, such as books by BIPOC authors if you are a white reader.

Please remember that actual people are on the other side of the pages and screens. If you have any additional feedback for this year or the future, we’d love to hear it! 🥰
Slide 5: If you are going to leave a negative review, Don’t Tag The Author! If you are going to post a negative review, DO NOT TAG THE AUTHOR. This should apply anytime you post a negative review of any book, but let this serve as a reminder. Some authors do not want to be tagged below a certain star rating or if you post any critiques at all. Please respect the separation of author and reviewer spaces. Slide 6: Be intersectional in your language. Two Spirit and Third Gender =/= Trans (1/2). One of our core prompts this year focuses on 2Spirit, Indigiqueer, Third Gender, and Indigenous Gender Expansive identities. We have created this category to acknowledge a range of identities that exist outside of binary views of gender and sexuality. That being said, not everyone who uses these titles identifies with the terms trans or nonbinary. Please be respectful of each author and their culture, and the language they use to describe themselves. Slide 7: Be intersectional in your language. Two Spirit and Third Gender =/= Trans (2/2): We make this distinction not to deny the presence of trans folks in indigenous societies across the globe, but to recognize that colonialism has actively worked to erase those legacies. Transness and gender nonconformity by definition make space for people to decide which terms, labels, and expressions fit, and which do not. Many indigenous and third gender identities come with a set of specific cultural, social, and/or spiritual roles. Acknowledging this doesn’t somehow divide the trans community. It makes space for the wide range of human experience. Instead of telling people who they’re allowed to be, let them tell you who they are. Slide 8: Did we miss anything? Share other advice on how to make this a successful readathon in the comments! While reading trans books is fun, remember at the heart of this are real trans people who are fighting for their rights. As long as we are respectful, there’s no reason we can’t have fun and do good at the same time.

Just finished this #booksky what can I say.. this was a wild “ride” that I was here for! I couldn’t put this down. It was dark and suspenseful. It was beautifully written and just amazing. Check trigger warnings as some things may be gruesome.

It is crunch time. I am still 145 subscribers away from the subscriber goal I was trying to reach by TODAY. Please help me get this company to a more sustainable position so we can fight for Black and brown authors more effectively. Just $5 will make a difference.

Aromantic fantasy book rec of the day.

An aroace student gets turned into a vampire, found by a vampire punk band, and brought into the fold. He’s harbouring a secret however, a mysterious force within him, and it’s getting stronger…

Loved this! #booksky #queerbooksky #aroawarenessweek
