Yes, I'm late. But it was so, so hard! But I finally managed to make a decision. And wow, yes, that book totally broke me and is still breaking me whenever I think about it.

Thank you for the Reading Bracket @CSeydel

CSeydel Nice bracket! I‘ve been wanting to read this one. Interesting to see how they changed the title for the German version! 1d

Jari-chan @CSeydel I can only recommend it (obviously), but it's not an easy read in any way. And yes, it's an interesting change. I wonder why they changed it. 1d

TheKidUpstairs Such a beautifully written book. Difficult, yes, but so well done. This one kept me up at night. 19h

Trans History: A Graphic Novel: From Ancient Times to the Present Day | Alex L Combs, Andrew Eakett

pick

This is a great young adult level book. It goes through the history of what gender nonconformity can mean during different eras, highlighting those who have been recorded in history and telling their story. It touches on topics such as eugenics that may not be taught in schools today and asks questions that will be answered at the start of each chapter. The graphic novel format is appealing to this age group.

Dream On, Ramona Riley | Ashley Herring Blake

A new indie bookstore just opened in my small town! 🎉 Today was their grand opening and there was an amazing turnout! It's a super cute shop with a great selection - I brought these two books home today but eyed so many more. Even my husband found something he liked, and he's picky about physical books
I'm so excited to finally have a bookstore close by! NC Littens, if you're ever in Shelby stop by and check it out! Box Turtle Books 🐢📚

britt_brooke Awesome!! 2d

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel | Taylor Jenkins Reid

I think I forgot to tag my review to the last book I read for #bookishmonopoly - oh, dear. Whatever. My next roll landed me on E-Book, and since I don't have any unread e-books around, I went with a loan from our online library.
