See allSurviving Transphobia is a book about how different people have experienced their gender identity journeys, and consists of short essays from lots of different kinds of trans people, all about how they figured out they were trans, what it means for them, and how others around them accepted or rejected them for it. This is a topic close to my heart, and I felt that it was approached very carefully, and the various inputs allowed for the book to feel like a discussion on what it means to be trans. I think this book is a very important one, and I would definitely recommend this to trans people and allies, or anyone looking to learn more about being transgender.
I have loved all of the books in this series! It was interesting to read about Cassandra and Ritsa on their way to Mycenae and Clytemnestra waiting at home for her husband's ship to arrive (and plotting his demise). I thought it was well-written and a great book focusing on the aftermath of the Trojan War on the women involved.
I didn't expect to adore this quite as much as I did! I knew it was going to be a treat going in, but I just fell in love with all the characters.
The book has its own illustrations by the author, who also acts as the main character in the story, encountering some beautiful and unusual birds with fantastically unique stories.
We meet Vernon, Quentin, Madge and Connie, and as they sit for portraits, we hear all about love stories and romantic interests, with the turkey sisters at the centre of attention!
I'm really excited to get started on book two, and I just know it's going to have the same fun and whimsical feel to it. An excellent read for any age.
This was a really sweet love story! I loved the idea of a teacher falling in love with the dad of one of his students, and the two were really perfect together. I did often get frustrated when the two wouldn't communicate properly but this was more to do with their personalities and it all worked out in the end. I love this author's style and definitely want to read more!
