@JustinePWinans @JLew100 @katefussner Sorry my brain was oatmeal earlier but Justine’s Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything is an absolutely perfect delight, full of gender feelings, bird jokes, suspense, and beautiful relationships. Anxious lesbians for the win.

Honest and empowering, Heretic feels particularly timely when it explores bodily autonomy and patriarchal heteronormativity; I was in the middle of the memoir when Roe V. Wade was overturned. I wanted to shake it at the sky like, “Yes, see? This is how it happened.”

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to @addiebrook. Unwieldy Creatures is a biracial, queer Frankenstein retelling with unique voices, stunning prose, and wretched, wonderful, expansive characters. Can't wait to hold my copy soon. https://t.co/dZsQo2MH4N
