A few months ago, I read the final book in the Wheel of Time series. It was definitely cry worthy. Robert Jordan died before finishing the last book when I had less than 20 pages left in the 11th book. I had read the series during some rough times, so when his close friends finished the series (adding two more books because there was no way it could fit in 1 book), it was like closing a door. I don't want to ruin the ending, but it really struck a chord and resonated with me.

Lo-and-behold!

The "local" library had a copy of Jennifer Finney Boylan's "She's Not There" book.

I picked it up this past Thursday and I just finished it. Couldn't put it down.

A box of tissues later-> Wow.

Can't wait to read Kay's book. Thank you Kay.

Huggs, :wub:

"Sacre Bleau" by Christopher Moore. Dark and artsy, almost as good as his book Lamb, about the lost 30 years of Jesus, as told by his childhood pal, Biff (so irreverent and so good).

Reading a collection of stories by Robert A. Heinlein Author of "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was one of my first SciFi books I've read as an adult. It's still one of my favorites.

What's kind of weird is that I haven't liked anything I've read from him since.

Interesting that a Danish author would choose to change to a Finnish name.

The English equivalent being John.

Books on history fascinate me, and we can all learn from history, right.

Right now I am reading " The Last Lion " by William Manchester.

A semi Biography of Winston Spencer Churchill, " Alone 1932-1940 " A case of British politics and there silly ideas of appeasement leading up to WW2.

We could all learn something from this.

Just finished "No way Renee"

Way cool stories from Renee Richards and her most famous transition in the 70's. She talks of life after all the hoopla, very interesting insights 40 some years into the future....

But I totally forgot to mention the title of the book which I am enjoying so much-The Horse Chronicles.

It's on Amazon and super reasonable too.

And Mike didn't even offer me cookies to endorse it. I genuinely like the book

:)

Johnny

Why Thank you JJ. I've just ordered a truck load of cookies just for you. You made my day by saying that you're enjoying The Horse Chronicles. We sure had a lotta fun with our horses back then.

Just finished reading

"She's not the man I married" by Helen Boyd.

Interesting read as the book is written from a SO's perspective.

Started to read "True Selves" by Mildred L. Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley.

A bit clinical but it seems to have some good information, albeit dated(DSM-IV).

If editing a novel counts as reading a book, the one that I am 'reading' now is tentatively titled "Never Stop Dreaming" and while originally written 14 years ago (I guess that makes it a period piece as I am not planning on updating it - only polishing it) it does not contain anything at all about trans issues - I was still in total denial.

I am not sure what name will be used as the author because it was written from the perspective of the male lead, any suggestions?

Sorry for the shameless plug but when I found this one and the half written one from the same period I had to read them and you know what - I liked them!

Watch for Never Stop Dreaming to hit Amazon sometime next month and if it sells I will work harder to get the next one finished.

Love ya,

Sally

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
