If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

It is a young adult book about a high school aged trans girl starting a new school after moving form her old school. It is written by a trans woman, so it has more authenticity than it being written by a cis person.

Initially, I was worried about it because most books with trans characters are not that great. The trans characters end up being in the story to teach the main character something or die. Or are made into a martyr and die.

This one is honest about a lot of issues. Most importantly, the self acceptance and self love we need to give ourselves. So far this book has made me cry three times. Not sure if that is a good recommendation or not, but I do like it!

I would say I am about halfway through. Just taking my time with it.

Just finished 'The Paying Guests' by Sarah Waters. A very good read! I kept going back for more! I am going back to the library today to pick up two more of her books. I sure hope they are as good.

I just started reading A Hero of France, by Alan Furst. He writes excellent, literate spy books set in Europe in the late 30s and early 40s. This one is better than his last, Mission to Paris.

Covering - The Hidden Assault On Our Civil Rights by Kenji Yoshino

[karenpayneoregon]

I am just completing Modern Authentication with Azure Active Directory for Web Applications. In plain English the book teaches a software engineer and developers how to do security for web site/applications.  Myself and two other senior developers (I am a senior developer too) are going through this after implementing this type of security in a web application and felt that it would be good to acquire a deeper understanding of Azure Graph API specifically.

I managed to luck out with libraries and found an LGBTIQ+ centered one. I took out two books. The first one I'm reading is The Collection. It's a collection of short stories that center on transgender characters. It's a good read so far.

Should you be posting about pornography on here??  

I have heard that Modern Authentication and Azure Active are pretty hot, though.

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

It is basically Mean Girls meets Groundhog Day. Which is how it was described to me. It isn't a comedy though. More a serious look at the "mean girl" who lives through a groundhog day-like situation. It is pretty interesting so far.

Last week I finished The Perks Of Being A Wallflower for the first time. That one hurt to read, but it was really really good.

I am reading 'The Lake House' by Kate Morton. Very good!

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories - H. P. Lovecraft

Out of the past by Neil Miller; a history of gay and lesbians from 1869 onwards. Highly recommend.
