This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Part of my effort to read something from a micropress for Book Riot's Read Harder challenge: this one is from Paper Rocket Minicomics.

Story by Scout Wolfcave; drawn by Penina Gal.

This one comes with a trigger warning: it's a transwoman's look back at growing up misgendered, and although short, it definitely isn't sweet.

Monday, October 16: adding this to emmejo's LGBTQ+ box - happy reading!

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Reading this left me feeling overwhelmingly sad.

This book rode to the end of the bookbox.

This comic is a short, sharp little reflection on the author's struggle with her family and society's attempts to force her into a masculine life, and the harsh consequences as she tries to overcome that learning. In many ways, it is not a pleasant read, but it certainly is an effective one.

Sent to the decoy of the Manga/GN Sweepstakes. Sorry for the delay getting them in the mail!

Received today!
