A/S/L (Jeanne Thornton) – 1998, three teenagers are coding a game over IRC, never seeing each other. It is never completed. 19 years later with no contact, the three are now trans women unknowingly living within a few blocks of each other. One working at a bank, another as a webcam dominatrix, and the other crashing on the floor of a friend. The game sits on old drives, but the three have not forgotten their unfinished quest.
I loved the 90s internet nostalgia and those early chatroom communities; the way many of us discovered ourselves in those chaotic spaces and dared to dream big with our art. The way Thornton presents the interplay of characters was fascinating and real. Central to this I found Sash as the original 'leader' and writer seemingly to be the most put together yet messy of the three. Following her POV kept captivating me along with the books use of second person. I am half and on the frequent use of chat logs; I find - like scripts - that it is distancing to just have dialogue by itself. Yet that distance also seems an essential part of the nature of those chats, the screen being both a facilitator to communication and a barrier to understanding.

Stag Dance (Torrey Peters) – Torrey gives us four amazing stories here: a hormone apocalypse caused by your toxic ex girlfriend; a boarding school romance leading to bullying and heartbreak; a lumberjack winter dance where the gruffest axeman ends up volunteering to play a woman to be wooed; and a Las Vegas masquerade party turned dark.
Each explores aspects of transition with some powerful narratives. My engagement varied through them but there were many absolute gem moments and powerful vibes. Its a strong collection to inspire, or to unsettle you from your comforts. Much seemed deeply personal to me, notably sections in the apocalypse and lumberjack stories. I also very much enjoyed the appropriate shift in voice as Torrey switches genres which helped bookend the narratives as I flowed through them.

Working on a description for my new book. How’s this?
Two couples. One fifth wheel. But who’s who?
Tim Hughes has been invited for dinner at the home his girlfriend, Darlene Kravchuk, shares with her brother and sister-in-law. He expects an evening filled with generic pleasantries and awkward conversation. He doesn’t expect her brother to invite her abusive ex-husband. He doesn’t expect the whole evening to be an ambush designed to teach Darlene a lesson.

Strange Girls (Sarvat Hasin) – Ava and Aliya's intense relationship at university was marked by their sharing of stories and writing; and an intense bond they never named. A decade later they meet up for a friend's wedding where Aliya has a settled life with a husband and a book deal, though questions linger between them about what they had and who has the right to tell their story.
I enjoyed the characters and the narrative interspersed with the retelling of their youth, though I felt like I never truly got to understand them. The aching longing was palpable and bittersweet, but a lot of details didn't seem to distract rather than guide. What I did particularly like was their nature as complex and dirty; the unsaid always speaking louder and not on second being reduced.

Book 14 was Dropnauts by J. Scott Coatsworth (narrated by Kevin Earlywine).

Disappoint Me (Nicola Dinan) – Max is a once-published poet who spends most of her days signing off emails pretending to be an AI. After falling down the stairs at a new years party and waking up alone, Max reassesses her life and give heteronormativity a try. While Vincent's trad friends may not be the best fit and his Chinese parents never pictured him dating a trans woman, Max feels he cares for her deeply. Yet he carries his own secrets that could upset their idyllic future.
I had trouble getting into this at the start as there was only a few times I felt a hook during the relatively slow pacing. But I really started to enjoy it by the second half. Particularly as Vincent's backstory was unfolding, giving me the feeling I was holding onto a piece of gossip Max really needed to know. Beyond that, it certainly tapped into my own fears a great deal and made it deeply personal.

Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) by Hazel Jane Plante – As a queer trans woman sits in the wake of her friend's death, she recounts her memories of and grief for Vivian amongst encyclopedic entries of the niche TV show they enjoyed together.
As someone who has all too often forged close relationships with people in the glow of a shared fandom, I was deeply touched by this narrative. The story weaves through the meaning of various elements of the show to Vivian and the narrator, along with the narrator's unrequited love and the particular intimacy shared among close trans women. To me, it felt like a deep love letter to grief itself.

Book 9 was Conversion Therapy Dropout, written and read by Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez.
The author spent eight years (eight!) in conversion therapy and lived to tell the tale. This book will break your heart and make you scream – and then it will put you back together and give you some hope. Evangelicalism and purity culture are so messed up.
