As the readathon winds down, we hope people continue to read and support trans+ stories (and organizations!) throughout the year. This isn’t an exhaustive list, so if you’re an indie author especially, we’d love a 2025 released self-rec. #trr25 #booksky #transrightsreadathon

We have a couple more days-worth of posts coming, and we’ll keep collecting book recs. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading along with us, and who has messaged or posted to say that they intend to keep supporting these stories throughout the year. 💙🩷🤍

When one of our volunteers made this post >3 weeks ago, there were ~500ish bills being considered and only 5 had passed. 😔 We love how bright and joyful our feed has been the last 11 days, but we also want to remind people that 11 days of reading is only the start. #trr25 #transrightsreadathon

Middle grade recs incoming! We’ve had at least one person ask for these specifically so that they can share reading time with their younger family members, which sounds lovely. 💕 #booksky #trr25 #transrightsreadathon

Looking for some trans+ rep that’s out of this world? 🥁 We do tend to get fewer scifi titles on our StoryGraph suggestions, so if you have more suggestions, we’d love to hear them. (Especially if they’re indie!)

Technically, the prompt is “picture books and middle grade,” but we’ve split them up here. Want some recs to share with young readers in your life? We’ve got you! #booksky #trr25 #transrightsreadathon

We have so many spec fic recs that we had to break the prompt into two posts. 🦄✨

Do we have impulse control issues? Maybe. Are there WAAAAAY too many excellent trans+ graphic novels to just choose a few? Definitely! Do we want still *more* recs if you’ve got ‘em? Of course we do!

Looking for some trans+ book recs by biracial or multiracial authors? We have some suggestions! As always, we’d love more recs to add to our ever-growing list of future suggestions. #trr25 #transrightsreadathon

If you’re looking for some trans+ books by Hawaiian and Pacific Islander authors for the readathon, we have a few suggestions here—we’d love more, though! This category has been consistently small, and we’d be delighted to find new stories and authors to share in the future. #transrightsreadathon

Our second author spotlight is Victoria Zeller, a trans writer and former football player and sports journalist. Victoria Zeller’s book is especially important and timely with trans rights to play in sports is being questioned. "One of the Boys" releases 13 May 2025. #booksky #transrightsreadathon

We’re excited to offer our first-ever spotlight, and we’ve got more coming. 🥰

If you would like a copy of the book, please follow this account & @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social and reply with a book you plan to read for the readathon *somewhere on this post.* I’m still figuring out BlueSky, friends. I confuse easily. 😅

We’re trying something new this year! In addition to your normal readathon activities, we’ve added daily action items in conjunction with author spotlights + giveaways. Our first participant is @tjalexandernyc whose historical romance “A GENTLEMAN’S GENTLEMAN” is now a US TODAY BESTSELLER! 🥳🎊

After our 2S and Third Gender post, we got a few questions about other indigenous trans+ recommendations. To clarify, the recommendations we include here are written by indigenous authors who use trans, nonbinary, and related labels to self-identify AND/OR whose characters use these terms.

So happy to have you with us for year 3. 🥰

SHE’S HERE! The Trans Rights Readathon has officially begun! ✨🥳🎊🎉📚 #booksky #trr25 #transrightreadathon

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! 🥰

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

In the process of curating our 2S and gender expansive recommendations, we contacted the authors included on this set of slides to make sure their identities were presented properly and respectfully. Please be mindful when discussing and recommending authors whose works fall into this category. 💕

There are tons of great indie books out there, and this is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re an author, we encourage you to self-rec in the comments, and/or tag us in posts! We also have an announcement about our indie book database coming soon! 👀

Transness isn’t a monolith, and whether you’re part of the community or an ally, listening to each other has always been the way forward. Consider adding a memoir to your #TRR25 TBR! Got more recs? You know what to do. 😽

Contemplating some nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, or otherwise gender expansive books? Of course we have recs! We’ll always take more, though. 🤩
