I'm wondering--should I be including all the books I read this month, even if it doesn't fit a prompt? It would still count for pages?

Okay, I just figured out which prompt it could be used for. I'm going to use it for Insta-Worthy which is extra fitting since the main woman Mary and Holmes are trying to help is a Lesbian in the Victorian era. But I do love the cover!

I love all the Mary Russell books, but this is the first time I've read this particular one and it was such a great one for this month!

I couldn't figure out how to make this fit for any of the prompts, but I did just read one of the later Mary Russell Books (Island of the Mad) and it takes place in Venice during Cole Porter's time and there are many gay, lesbian, fluid characters, including Cole Porter and his wife (they married for convenience but were great friends). It was something I wasn't aware of before I read this book.

I highly recommend Gender Queer, a graphic novel memoir by the author about eir journey into understanding eir gender identity as non-binary.
