It’s definitely not halfway through the year and I’m definitely not concerned about it (/s) but anyway @librarycarrd tagged me so here are my Favorite Books So Far. Cheated a bit with Detransition Baby because I’m 2/3s through but hey why deny what’s obviously true. And not for lack of options! It clearly outshone anything else I could’ve put there.

Left to right, top to bottom:

Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg

Lanternfish Press’s 2019 edition of Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, featuring footnotes and an introduction from Carmen Maria Machado

People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn

Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, and Nona the Ninth (ARC) by Tamsyn Muir

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters

Theft by Finding (the ‘77-’02 diaries of David Sedaris)

Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris

So I don't know!#Anyway what a year for trans Jews who want to be eaten by women am I right.#Oh and David Sedaris who I MET IN PERSON AT A SIGNING (!!!!!!!!)
