We're reading Destransition, Baby by Torrey Peters.

With blurbs from two of our previous book club authors on the cover (Carmen Maria Machado and Jia Tolentino), it's an obvious choice!

The lives of three women—transgender and cisgender—collide after an unexpected pregnancy forces them to confront their deepest desires. This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can’t reach.

Next we're reading a memoir by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Dirty River: A Q***r Femme of Colour Dreaming Her Way Home "is a mixtape of dreams and nightmares, of immigration court lineups and q***r South Asian dance nights; it is an intensely personal road map and an intersectional, tragicomic tale that reveals how a disabled q***r woman of colour and abuse survivor navigates the dirty river of the not-so-distant past and, as the subtitle suggests, "dreams their way home.""

We're excited to be reading another classic! Book #28 is Kindred by Octavia E. Butler.

Written in 1979, this book stands the test of time as Butler skillfully juxtaposes the serious issues of slavery, human rights, and racial prejudice with an exciting science-fiction, romance, and historical adventure.
