I recently realized that though I don‘t often read memoirs, I enjoy them when I do. So I‘m trying to read more. I have this one going now, and Tim Curry‘s waiting for me whenever my library reopens!
pickI was tempted to read vol 4 of MDZS but in the end I used my internetless evening to finish this off. Now just two books left to complete my November #BookSpinBingo.
This was okay. Fairly predictable, all in all, with the main characters both stupidly keeping secrets. A very light pick, maybe a so-so. I wasn't tempted to DNF but I won't read more in the series.
pickThis continues to be a charming manga exploring LGBTQIA+ and new ally experiences alongside in-panel baking and dessert recipes. Toshi continues to grapple with the concept of coming out, and his staffer continues to delve into what it means to support the queer community. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Baking
pickGibson is not a favorite of mine lyrically or formally but there is so much feeling baked into these poems that I understand why they resonate with folks as they do. Lovely work if not always my thing.
pickWanted to read a banned book, & I can see why this would be challenged by some horrified parent afraid their teen might get ideas. 🙄 Mostly memoir/part guidebook for teenagers about growing up & finding their identity & belonging as a LGBTQIA+ person. A couple of sex scenes from the author‘s first experiences. An interesting book, Johnson has good stories to tell.
This books epigraph: “For those who are born different and feel they don‘t belong in this world, it is because you were brought here to help create a new one.” ❤️
