Welcome to Litsy!

This book kinda hit deep for this gay country mouse. Mimosa is a GN about 4 very super queer people dealing with different issues as they‘re in their 30s. Which in queer world means they feel like they have also become invisible. The thing that hurt the most was seeing a 5 page montage of their friendship as it has grown only for them to grow in different directions realizing that their friendships no longer served them. Which, is sometimes 👇🏼

"So, I‘m standing there, trapped in one of my favorite nightmares, discussing gender euphoria with the demon who lives rent-free in my head."

1. No one favorite tradition but I do really enjoy the whole family being home and spending time together.

2. Looking forward to the tagged book. I love everything Pulley writes and I‘m expecting this one to be another great book. 🤞

This book gives you something to think about and is completely different from anything I‘ve read in the past … Alon is an islander that protects people from the Diwata … who or what that is is explained during an intrusion from a crew of Hollywoods actors and tv crew … as with all of Rin Chupeco‘s writings this is top of the list in originality … I love this read and know that any book by this author is a must read

Another day, another train. First few pages of this have got me! 😍

An eye-opening and vulnerable sharing of the author‘s coming-out story as non-binary, in a culture that still is largely fixated on people identifying as one gender or the other, even if they are LGBT. I particularly appreciated the author‘s emergence reflected in varying responses of friends and family and ongoing fear of coming out and how to articulate it. I could also appreciate the extreme pain of a Pap test! #Nonfiction2024 #Genderqueer
