An excellent introductiom for larger systemic issues trans people face in Europe and the USA and how these struggles intersect with other marginalized communities. An essential read for both trans and cis allies to better fight for trans liberation, which is liberation for all peoples.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Loved the sci-fi take on Pinocchio and true to the source material, the plot/themes are pretty existential. The characters of course were the best part as with any TJ Klune book. This was my first time reading an asexual romance and I really hope to see more stories like that in the future. I enjoyed the ending on its own but I feel like a sequel would also be beneficial. 

So fucking good. Shocked it has such a low rating on StoryGraph, but then again, most people probably aren’t as huge whale/marine bio nerds as I am haha. This book was pure poetry and I’d love to reread it in the future.

Was thrilled to realize I’d already been using some of these ideas in my cooking. Easy to understand and I have the charts saved on Pinterest to refer back. Loved how the author focused on the science of cooking and how to thoughtfully approach recipes, meal planning, and choosing quality ingredients. Thankful I’m vegan because having to learn to cook so many types and cuts of meat seems very overwhelming, haha! I’ll focus on applying these ideas to my beloved veggies, fruits, grains, and baked goods.

My heart feels full and aching. My second 5 star read of the entire year.
