2024-10-16 18:15:19 +0000 UTCoh ok YES so tbh I had this book on there at some point, but I think I pulled it off because I didn't want to wade into YA and thus feel like I needed to put 50 other YA books on there? but I endorse this and am excited to read it!!!

2024-10-08 20:10:06 +0000 UTCThere is a cool reading of The Sapling cage on Margaret Killjoy's Cool Zone Media bookclub by Jackie Meloche - and then they talk about Jackie's experience of being trans femme narrating a trans girl character
