Luna (National Book Award Finalist)
Julie Anne Peters
It’s depressing to learn that bright, courageous author Julie Anne Peters has died, while all this __ is going on w/ books that feature LGBT characters, or a transgender character, as in her *Luna.* I’d wish she’d left bolstered by progress, but she bolstered readers + how. https://t.co/8Wtyi5xN3e

Middlemarch

Pride and Prejudice: Classics in Large Print
Jane Austen
I’m so sad—but reading her books never left me that way. Laughing, angry— but always energized. Jane Austen fans—I believe she adapted the 1980 Pride and Prejudice series. https://t.co/e3BvOXpmhI
