I read Song of Spores by Bogi Takacz.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me: It's a very entertaining and thought provoking fusion of procedural, spy and political intrigue novel and philosophical novel (trans-formability and embodiment are essential to the plot). Great protagonists, cozy, but not twee & cutesy.

Persona (Aoife Josie Clements) – The start of the blurb certainly caught my attention; "A trans woman discovers pornography of herself she has no memory of making, only to find herself led to an unimaginably deeper evil."
From that, I had to jump into this. I found the protagonist engaging even in her darkest psychosis, as if I was spiralling with her. The journey it takes you on is deeply unsettling and disassociative with interesting insights on identity.
Reading through I had a dozen odd theories of where it was snaking. Which did lead me to be a bit dissapointed by the ending. I felt there was a lot of unexplored potential from the first two parts that seemed underserved by the resolution. Not entirely so, but it seemed to me as an amazing concept that struggled for a satisfying conclusion.
It's not for everyone, but I did enjoy it greatly and would love to see more from the author.

Book 8 was Gay Britannia: Celebrating LGBTQ+ History in Britain, written and read by way too many people.
Weird collection of memoirs, historical biographies, personal interviews, history, and comedy. Very random. 🤷

Book 6 was Cross the Line by Lucky Hart (narrated by Julio Maxwell & Javi Wilder).
Basically, I loved the characters, liked the writing, but the relationship gave me the willies. YMMV. 🤷

Black Wave (Michelle Tea) – This is a pretty psychedelic memoir, seen through a kaleidoscope of self-reflection on one's life, relationship and the meaning of conveying an experience less in the literal and more in the metaphysical. Between addiction, toxic romance and a global apocalypse, Michelle travels through 1990s California in trying to find her way our of the vicious cycles she is trapped in.
I felt incredibly engaged in Michelle's tragicomedic protagonist and the turns she makes as it jumps into meta-textual commentary on memoirs with the characters themselves. And while Michelle is very much the focus of the chaos and self destruction, I can still feel, in her head, that she's the only sane person in the room.

The Boy Maeve spotted at The Hobart Book Shop!
I've never visited Hobart without popping into The Hobart Bookshop at least once (and usually leaving with at least one book) and so while I'm not there to see it in person, it's quite the buzz to hear that The Boy Maeve is currently sitting in a rather prominent position in their YA section!

As the sun decided to poke its head out, I decided to seize the chance for one last bookshop visit... Ramona Books, which is situated amid the lovely community vibe of Westgarth Village. Well worth a visit!

Spotted in Dymocks Melbourne by my father 👀
As a kid, I spent countless hours exploring Dymocks bookstores, often honing in on these staff recommendations. What a hoot to see one referencing The Boy Maeve!! Thank you to Jennifer for your wonderful enthusiasm for the book.

After an awesome launch at The Little Bookroom and despite the rain, I wanted to visit some of Melbourne Naarm's other bookstores before heading home.
Stop 1: Readings Kids, where I had a warm welcome.
Stop 2: Dymocks Melbourne, where The Boy Maeve is on the pride shelf!
Stop 3: QBD Emporium
Final stop: Hares & Hyenas, where it was such a thrill to find my book in this iconic queer bookshop.
Thank you Naarm! It's been wet but awesome!

Book 2 was Holding Still for as Long as Possible by Zoe Whittall (narrated by a full cast).
A love rhombus between a trans man, a spoilt princess, a former pop star, and a disillusioned social worker. But the real main character is early 2000s Queen West in Toronto.

Book 29 (and my final for May) was Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler (narrated by Emily Beresford).
Favourite quote: Without the idea of gender, there would be no gender at all.
