6,588 books were pulled from libraries last year—the highest since 1990. The strategy is volume: drown librarians in paperwork. But the community is fighting back.

I read To Broadway by Maurane Mazars, a #GraphicNovel with images that made me think of Jules Feiffer's passionate modern dancers. That's apt because it's set in the late 1950s.
Uli is a young gay man studying dance at a prestigious studio in Germany. But no one there understands his love for popular dance. (One of my favorite scenes is of him alone in a theater, entranced by what I recognized as an impressionistic watercolor vision of "An American in Paris.")He decides to pursue his Broadway dream, but nothing is as he expected; his new friends mock pop culture too, and the Black American dancer he fell for in Germany won't pursue a relationship with him.
There's not a lot of text in this--it's mainly images and atmosphere and you have to work a bit to follow the story. I found it very relatable and often beautiful.

My third #TransRightsReadathon book was The Left Hand of Dog, an excellent recommendation from @Knien . It's just the kind of audiobook I like -- lots of distinct voices, and all British as a plus. 😂 The story is good silly fun, full of geeky references -- Spock's brain, I about died! -- but also has a lot of humanity, as femme-agender-asexual-disabled Lem finds herself feeling home at last with the motliest crew of silly aliens imaginable.
I think it might have felt too twee for my tastes in print, but the audio really sells it. First in a series.

I tried The Burnt Toast B&B for the #TransRightsReadathon but it's not really my cuppa so I'm DNFing. I think I originally bought it because I wanted to support including a trans character in an m/m romance series, so I guess my work there is done. 😂
Still reading Pretty by KB Brookins, which is really powerful writing.

My first book for the #TransRightsReadathon was Beyond They/Them by em dickson and illustrated by Cameron Mukwa. It's short profiles of people in entertainment, politics and sports who identify as nonbinary, genderqueer, two-spirit or otherwise gender-diverse. Feels a little written down to kids at times, but the author's passion for the work of the subjects shines.
