Ziggy, Stardust and Me | 
A beautiful, heart-wrenching debut. A teenager in 1973 slowing comes to terms with the fact that he is gay and it not a “sickness“ like he's been told. He's aided in this self-discovery by Web, who is everything Jonathon is not, mainly fearless and comfortable in his own skin. The book also encompasses the political activism of the 70's and the bigotry and racism towards non-whites, in this case Native Americans. It also includes music as therapy.
pickThird book I‘ve finished today! I got over five hours of reading done, and all of the books were pretty good. This latest one was probably my least favorite today, but I still enjoyed it. 4⭐️
I sat down to read and Princess hijacked my book. Apparently it‘s her book now.

so-soI really really wanted to love this book, but I think it just wasn't for me 😔 Some parts I liked, but mostly the writing style grated on me
I'm still glad I read it and that my library bought it for me though

Got back from vacation yesterday( New York and Virginia to visit family) and came home to this awesome pre-order package!! I did the library pre-order option which came with that amazing button and some stickers 😍
My library actually contacted me to say they would definitely be purchasing this book later this fall 😊
Thanks to @MrsMoony for telling me about this 🤗
pickThis book absolutely broke my heart. Jonathan is a teenager in the 70s and being gay is considered a mental illness. Jonathan is going to see a doctor to try to cure him from being gay. But than he meets Webb and starting having all these feeling that people are telling him is wrong. He struggles with his feeling and with the help of Webb realizes that there is nothing wrong with him. He knows that it isn't wrong to love who you love!
I can not wait to read this book. Even small string attachments to Bowie have me eagerly awaiting this debut.
