Happy belated book birthday to The Lilac People by Milo Todd!

"It unearths an essential chapter in Trans history, long obscured by stigma and oppression, and celebrates the soul-sustaining life force of community."

January Reading Wrap-up! 4/4

Plus, maybe a title just looks interesting! Or maybe my neighbor decides to lend me a book she likes while we're bonding during a fire alarm evacuation in the rain!

What are you reading to kick off the year?

Loving this hilarious dark fairytale by Jess Hanigan. 😂 The review is a bit rich, though, coming from Jon Klassen who wrote the SKETCHIEST character in children's lit. (Looking at you Mx. Crab 👀🧐)
