A beautiful sapphic book, especially for when it was originally written.

This could also be under historical fiction; Great sapphic read, it’s the first book in the series, the second book is “You’re the problem, it’s you.” By Emma R. Alban
Don't Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban
Great LGBTQ+ historical fiction read. It’s from the male perspective. It’s the sequel to Emma R. Alban’s book, “Don’t want you like a best friend.”
You're the Problem, It's You by Emma R. Alban
This is a fantastic book! It’s a coloring book & a REALLY nice self exploration book. It really gets into the fine details of figuring out your trans identity. I found it VERY helpful, and fun to color!
The Trans Self-Care Workbook: A Coloring Book and Journal for Trans and Non-Binary People|Paperback
Honestly it was a little hard to get through initially, but once I got past some of the language used, (for the time period they’re using it in though it fits), it really became interesting.
The plot feels very unique for a book, but in the lgbtqia+...

Such a good, on the edge of your seat, thriller

The Night Before Xmas: A Futurama Christmas Story|Hardcover
General Fiction
This book was definitely different for me. It comes off like a memoir & self help book, but it’s fiction. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator really added on a layer that was awesome, you could feel the intensity.
Black Buck (A Read with Jenna Pick)|Paperback
Fantasty
This book is a bit on the spicy side, but not too graphic. It's a good balance between spicy, romance, fantasy, and historical fiction
