A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture by June Thomas
informative
inspiring
reflective
4.75
It was well written, easy to read about a subject not frequently explored that I would love to see more about. The spaces talked about were frequently overwhelmingly white, which the book discussed but it would have been nice to explore that more.

This was such a fun novella! Vampire bunnies and spooky mushrooms, what more could I want? (Non binary protagonist that’s what, and I got that too!)

Solid 4 stars! This was really enjoyable and really well written! I’m definitely going to pick up the sequel. I’m not fully sure why it’s not it give it just doesn’t have 5 star vibes if that makes sense? I would highly recommend it regardless, especially to younger readers starting to want to read fantasy.

This series is just messy and I love it.
It’s a really interesting exploration into power and relationships and it’s fascinating. Libby making horrible decisions is head shaking but I love a good villain arc soooooo <3
There is. However. very little plot. It’s very much a character study and thus a people study. Plot, what plot? Just vibes

A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt
challenging
dark
emotional
hopeful
Not rating this as I a) don’t generally feel good rating memoirs and b) I genuinely felt too stupid to fully understand it
It had a lot of beautiful bits of writing though
