Books I enjoyed in November & December

They’ve been quite good reading months overall!
A highlight (not a secret ☺️) was definitely starting the game changer series and then watching the tv show heated rivalry.

LGBTQ symbols like Oscar Wilde’s green carnation and chosen-family gatherings now enrich the festive season. My uncle's choir performance highlighted his authenticity, celebrating traditions that once excluded him. #LGBTQHistory #QueerHolidays #ChosenFamily #FestiveSpirit #InclusiveTraditions
