Almost finished with my third book for the readathon! Ones I’ve read so far and loved are The House of Impossible Beauties by Joseph Cassara, Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White, and The Honeys by Ryan La Sala!
Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa (Pride & Prejudice but Elizabeth is a trans boy, focuses on his coming out journey)
Self-Made Boys by Anna-Marie McLemore (Great Gatsby but Nick is a trans man, focuses on adjusting to life after coming out and finding queer community)
Deeply Dysphoric by Quinlin Caid (a collection of trans short stories)
Two excellent additions to your literary fiction category are Bellies and Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan. Thanks so much for this annotated reading list -- love it!
I just finished reading (and greatly enjoyed) A Lady for All Seasons by TJ Alexander, sequel to A Gentleman's Gentleman. Both are fun regency era romance with trans characters
Graphic novels:
I love Nimona!! I'd also recommend the princess and the grilled cheese sandwich by Deya Muniz
Currently reading Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day for an IRL book club and even though I'm not the biggest fan of graphic novels as a format, I'm really enjoying this one. It spotlights an impressive range of figures and stories and does a great job of putting them in historical and cultural context.
