Back on the No AI Starter Pack trend, this time with the devils! @elizabethmay.bsky.social and I released the Seven Devils duology in the midst of lockdown, which kept us from promoting the series as well as we would have liked. (1/2)

Idk how many more fucking times I can say “promoting and buying HP related stuff is directly affecting trans peoples lives” to get it through people’s FUCKING SKULLS YOU CANT SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVELY DOING HARM.

I love using libby, especially since I recently figured out I could get an Edmonton Public Library card as a U of Alberta student, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for reading on my kobo! I’m reading Blood Like Magic rn (LOVING it), and hoping to start Babel this weekend!

Wrote a bit of a thing on instagram, where I assume I'm not preaching to the choir AS much as here, but I want to reiterate the point that the founder of TDoV Rachel Crocker made a few years ago, that Trans Visibility can & should focus on visible allyship. Not 1 or 2 posts a year. Real allyship

My March reading has been very good. I love it. So many new favourites, plus reread some old favourites that hold up (Catching Fire, Mockingjay, Truth Telling, The Wicked Bargain, The Companion)! Read quite a few for my Trans Reading Challenge! Hope to finish 2/3 of my CRs too! #transbooks #books

April 2025 #transbooks releases 🏳️‍⚧️ #trans #books #diversebooks

If you’re posting trans books recommendations and I don’t see a single trans women or trans femme character written by a trans women or trans femme author, side eye 👀 absolute side eye

I don’t have any current reads right now and it feels so weird! I finished The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo earlier and haven’t picked my next read yet 🤣 I have no idea what to read next

While I'm really glad reading challenges help cis readers find new books by trans & nonbinary authors, I hope those same readers take these challenges as an opportunity to interrogate their own biases.

I added some books to my trans spreadsheet today, and we’re up to 1,280 books! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Update: I finished both of them today and OH MY GOD 5 STARS EACH!!! 😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 @cknightwrites.bsky.social @cozywitch.bsky.social yall are both amazing and writing gay and trans pirates 🏴‍☠️❤️

Looking for a year long trans reading challenge? This is my second year hosting the Trans Reading Challenge! If you use Storygraph, I made a challenge on there. If you just want the prompts, head over to my IG or take a look with this link! app.thestorygraph.com/reading_chal...

Happy pub day to my first historical romance, A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN Buy links: tjalexander.com#books4 And a little🧵 about it...

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

The vibes of my current reads are: - Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ - Queer af 🏳️‍🌈 - Queer pirates 🏴‍☠️ And I love it 😤🙌🏼 might even reread The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa ps, thanks @cknightwrites.bsky.social for an ARC! I’m loving it 🙌🏼

I’ve read Legendborn 3 times now, and it’s the type of book that gets better with EVERY read. I’ll be honest, I hated Sel the 1st time. The 2nd time, he started to grow on me, and the 3rd? I love him. But golden retriever Nick has been my fav since my 1st read through 🙂‍↕️

well, it's official! my gender-affirming sterilization surgery is happening in 2 weeks (march 14— fingers crossed nothing comes up). i'm lucky to have insurance but it's not all covered:( venmo: haleystrass paypal: [email protected] please boost if you can! US donors get free stickers:)

Can I go on TikTok for one night at the end of each month and not see the typical “how do people read 20+ books a month? That’s impossible” videos/comments like fuckkkkkkkk off

It’s my birthday so have 24 (or more…) recommendations from me! If you take any recommendations from me, make it these ✨ (1/2) #books #booksky #diversebooks #transbooks

I just stayed up wayyyyy past my bedtime to finish this book…SO worth it. The Broposal by Sonora Reyes is phenomenal and you should read it

I’m going to make a thread of my trans book releases IG posts here, starting with January/February!

Aromantic spicy fantasy book rec of the day. A tired witch takes a solo holiday to a cottage and summons an agender, aromantic sex demon to help her… relax. The two have a lot of fun… relaxing. This is so great! #booksky #queerbooksky #aromanticawarenessweek

Rereading The Hunger Games series in today’s society is truly a different experience than when I first read them in 2012, and even when I reread them in 2020 and 2023

I have so many books on my physical tbr and what do I do? Go to the library and get 5 more books (bottom 5) 🧍🏼 HEHE WHOOPS. I love the 2 local libraries near me 😌

Why do publishers change font size in the middle of a fucking series? The Jasmine Throne has normal sized font for a tall paperback, and the audiobook is 19 hours 42 minutes. The Oleander Sword, however, has smaller text (and it’s very obvious smaller), audio is 19 hours 7 minutes. STOP THISSSSS

I finished and YEAAAA I’m in love with the world. extremely tempted to pick up The Oleander Sword now

This picture is like a month old now (gotten some new ones since then) but this is like 45% of all the books I own, and most (not all) of these books feature LGBTQ main characters. I’ve read quite a few, but if you see a favourite of yours, do comment so I can bump it up if I haven’t read it LOL

I’m on page 172 of The Jasmine Throne and once again, WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS?? My physical tbr is definitely full of books that when I read them, I’ll say “WHY TF DIDNT I READ IT SOONER”

We have three weeks of Black History Month left. Go give these incredible people a follow!!! #blackhistorymonth

I started reading this earlier, didn’t really know what it’s about but it got me hookedddddd

I’m finally reading To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, and I’m enjoying it so far omg. Why did I wait so longggggg

I started my reread of The Final Strife for my Trans-cendent Tales book club February pick, and oh my GOD I love this world and this trilogy 😭🩵

This book should be required reading for every Canadian. I’m rereading it for a class so I can write a book review on it through the lens of an educator, and I’m reminded of how this peels back the layers of history in Canada that isn’t usually taught in k-12.

I finished this like 10 minutes ago and oh my god new favourite 😭😭🩵🩵

*stares directly into camera, specifically at all the people who told me I was being dramatic when I said they would attempt this*

I started this earlier today and I can already tell it will be a favourite of 2025! I love Edward Underhill’s writing, and this is his adult debut with a trans man MC 🏳️‍⚧️ I’m 30% through and it’s amazing #trans #transbooks #books #booksky

January was a great reading month! So many new favourites and reread 4 favourites! 5th year in a row that seven devils is my first read of the year (and I love my little tradition) 😌 #books #booksky #transbooks #diversebooks

Graphic novel with a trans masc nonbinary main character! 🏳️‍⚧️ finally read this graphic novel (I tried reading it in December but the ebook just wasn’t working for me) and it was so good 🩷🩵 I’m always a sucker for historical books, but when queer characters are included?? COUNT ME IN

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

This was already sad anyway, but I didn’t realize it was kids! Omg those poor babies :((((

Romance books with trans MCs! 🏳️‍⚧️ left out the ‘title’ page because I have 8 slides of recs so I’ll make it 2 posts instead of 3! (1/2) #books #booksky #diversebooks #transbooks

HAHAHA yes. It’s SO good

This novella features a trans man MC and a trans man love interest, and it was SO good. I read it this month and loved it! #trans #books #booksky #transbooks

Sci-fi books with trans main characters 🏳️‍⚧️ I have not read as many sci-fi books featuring trans MCs which is shocking! I love sci-fi as well, and thought I’ve read more but nope haha! #books #booksky #transbooks

What are some peoples favourite sci-fi books with trans main characters? I’m in the middle of making a recommendation post for sci fi books but only have 35! And I’ve only read 10! My god! I need to read more sci fi
