They/Them. Autistic. Queer. Stories most welcome. Adventures, dragon hoards, faery rings, wizards' towers. Let's get lost in the woods together.
"The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin: it's one of only four new-to-me books I've read this year that I have earmarked to purchase and add to my own bookcase (the other three comprise the Dark Elf trilogy by R.A. Salvatore).

Today's book: "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy
Not sure how much reading will get done today, since it's more of a chilly, curl-up-under-the-duvet-with-the-cats, watch-five-hours-of-Defunctland kind of day. But there'll be *some* reading.

Today's book: "Compound Fracture" by Andrew Joseph White
Chose this one for its autistic and trans rep, its Appalachian setting, and because I wanted to read something outside my usual wheelhouse. I'm about a third of the way through, and it is brutal.

"Trolls" by Brian and Wendy Froud: not only an art book of Brian Froud paintings and Wendy Froud maquettes and props, the Frouds weave everything together with the tale of a young troll who must collect his first three stories from elder trolls in a coming-of-age ritual.

Since I finally read it just the other week and keep thinking about it, I'll have to go with "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker.

Today's book: "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier
Last of this library stack, and another book I was recommended early in the year. So far the language and imagery are gratifyingly Gothic.

If asked even just a few months ago, I'd have had some preference, probably toward third person past, but the books I've been reading lately span the spectrum and as long as the story works I haven't minded in the least which perspective or tense it's in.

Been looking forward to reading this ever since it was recommended to me early this year. I'm a few chapters in already, thoroughly hooked. Ming's dysphoria is extremely relatable.
