  • I chose Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H to fulfill the “book recommended by a friend/bookseller/librarian” category of the Trans Rights Readathon. It is the second book I have read for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. I’ve been saving the memoir for this purpose since hearing about it in a video by Alex on Pucks…

  • Kind: A Romance Where Nothing Bad Happens by Hannah Leigh promises that “nothing bad happens.” It delivers. That is not to say there are not stakes in the novel. Both main characters undergo tremendous character growth and face difficult, complicated choices that they help each other navigate. The main characters, Drew and Ellis, aren’t quite…

  • My first read in the Trans Rights Readathon is Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson by Tourmaline. It fulfilled the category of “a book by or featuring trans elders, or a trans history book.” I highly recommend the audiobook which you can find at the Queer Liberation Library or another library near you!

  • When given the opportunity to check out the audiobook for Jennifer Dugan’s Anderson in Bloom, I jumped on the chance.

  • These poems provided me a quiet stillness.

  • When I was in undergrad I did a year long assistantship where I help work on a database of graphic novels about history. The librarians attached gave me pretty free reign on what I read and catalogued, but they called dibs on the March books and Mouse, which meant I read a lot of cool…

  • A fun, quick read! This book came recommended in a video by Alex from Pucks and Paperbacks about different hockey books. I read it as part of a readathon where one of the bingo squares was reading a book under 200 pages. This books comes in way under and is a delight to read. The…

  • The cover of this book won me over immediately. I love the art style, I love the way the characters are gazing at each other, and I love the lil kiddo around the corner. Every detail is so on point and gives nods to little details in the books. Doesn’t hurt that I think making…
