Thank you! your video was like the tenth one i watched but the only one that actually included the book list in the video description.
Oh nooo that's the worst 💀💀 I make all kinds of mistakes I'm sure, but you can always count on me for a book list 😂
So many great pics you've chosen! Thrilled to see mention of Mrs S and After Sappho - they were 2 of my favorite reads last year. Adding several of the literary and nonfiction books you recommended to my TBR list!
Also, if you're looking for recommendations for lit fic with trans representation, I'd suggest Little Blue Encyclopedia by Hazel Jane Plante, Lote by Shola Von Reinhold, The Fifth Wound by Aurora Mattia, Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country by Chavisa Woods, Idlewild by James Frankie Thomas, Nevada by Imogen Binnie, Casey Plett's books, and Isabel Waidner's work (it's got a lot of surrealist leanings, but I think it might still fit the bill).
@@manuscriptsinthemargin oh wow amazing! I'm going to look all of these up in the library - thank you 😇😇
So many of these are already in my enormous tbr ... So many. I really do need to follow your example of impatient reading!
I have read loverman and loved that book, I would say that I felt that girl woman other was the 'better' book, but I loved loverman more.
Honestly, not to hype my own reading tactics but the impatient reading has been revolutionary!
I've got Girl, Woman, Other unread on my shelf - that should find its way into an impatient vlog soon. It's giving summer vibes but that might just be the yellow cover 😂
@@hannahlosttheplot I read it in late summer so I do also get summer vibes from it too, but from own experience. I don’t remember a really strong season in it. The audio book is really good too, that’s how I read it.
thank you for making my tbr list considerably longer after watching this bahaha as a historical-literary fiction reader i would definitely recommend in memoriam by alice winn, the safekeep by yael van wouden, and fayne by anne-marie macdonald! they're all really lovely queer stories :)
Oh amazing, thank you! In Memoriam is on my radar but I haven't heard of the others so I'll definitely check those out! 🥰
So many good books. A lot of my faves mentioned. Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth isn’t talked about enough. Beautifully written and one of my top books of this year so far. I could talk about it for hours…. A wonderful, funny, heartwarming short book is Love on a Checklist by Alyson Root - it’s only available on Kindle though sadly.
Totally agree about Sunburn - I adored it and I've seen very few people talk about it. Thanks for the rec - if I find myself with a Kindle one day, I'll check it out!
Love a pride month vid!! X
