#TRR25
Since life is super rough at the moment I was only able to finish 5 books during the readathon. But reading those books brought me such joy during a very diffult time, so I am so grateful.
Looking forward to finishing the books I'm now in the middle of and exploring the rest when I can. π

Book 8, final book of #TRR25
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
A YA novel about a trans girl and a supernatural that is bound to her, and how hiding the truth allows evil to fester. Optimistically set in a near-utopia. It is refreshing to have a trans book where transphobia is not a problem.

A blue, pink, and white graphic that says, "Trans Rights Readathon" at the top. It also has the book covers for A Dark and Starless Forest by Sarah Hollowell, Godly Heathens by H.E. Edgmon, Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi, and A Psalm For the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.
#TransRightsReadathon update:
And that's a wrap! Technically the readathon ended earlier today, but I'm still counting A Psalm For the Wild-Built as my last one. And gosh, did I like that one! All 4 of them were so good! I'm looking forward to participating again next year π³οΈββ§οΈ

Book 15 & maybe my last for the official #trr25. Remember to keep uplifting and reading these stories ALL YEAR. EVERY YEAR.
This one ended on a massive cliffhanger, but I'm tired both emotionally and physically so the next book will have to wait π

Book cover for The Poison Fruits by Em Haeger featuring a 3-piece metal band in silhouette performing against a full moon.
Back cover of "The Poison Fruits" book with the blurb: "What should have been just another metal show at a bar out in the cornfields turns into a nightmare for Izzy, the lead singer of The Poison Fruits, and for the people of the midwest metal scene. Fresh off a breakup with her ex-girlfriend and seemingly alone, Izzy flounders at what to do next. Support, and maybe more, comes from Bones, a bassist with a soon-to-be announced truth. But with something horrible on the loose, can the two of them survive?" And an About the Author that states "EM HAEGER (she/they) Em is a non-binary lesbian with a love of forests, dark nights, and delicious stories. They make their home with their wife Cleo, a trans woman and musician.
And my 2nd book announcement! I began writing "The Poison Fruits" a supernatural horror novel with romance over 10 years ago. Right after I finished the 1st draft my Dad died, and I couldn't get back to it until last year. This #trans #sapphic book launches June 3 for Pride! #TDOV #TRR25
