Winx Goll (40winx) Hey all! We had a previous topic discussing Trans* inclusion in the group, and thought it would be really great to read something with Trans* characters.

So far, Ursula K Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness looks to be the favorite pick, but we've also discussed The Bone Palace and The Bone Doll's Twin. A few people also posted links to relevant lists:

I can personally recommend the Tamir Triad (The Bone Doll's Twin is the first book in that), but haven't yet read any of the others. Does anyone have thoughts on these or other suggestions?

Thanks! :)

Allison Brown (alliekat893) | 101 comments I liked the Tamir Triad, but cannot speak to the others. I have recommended the Bone Doll's Twin to others before.

Winx Goll (40winx) It's such a good series, isn't it? I'm in love with it and the Nightrunner series (which, for those not familiar with them, is by the same author and set in the same universe)! :)

Cory Day (cors36) | 23 comments Dear Author highlighted a Lesbian Trans* YA Romance novel in their daily deals section today - it sounds like it could be good, and it's cheap, at least for the day! http://dearauthor.com/features/book-d... (If You Could Be Mine)

Caitlin I have no prior experience with any books with a trans* protagonist so I'll happily read whatever. I hope this is a theme for a month soon - I think this month is Bonnie, but was next month viewer's choice?

@Caitlin
Yes, a poll will go up early in July for the group pick in August. Felicia will probably pick the titles for the poll, so if there is something you'd like to see, make a suggestion now.

Winx Goll (40winx) Thanks for the link Cory! Can't go wrong with a book for 99 cents! :)

Caitlin - I think you're right. I vaguely remember Felicia saying that in the hangout. That'd be really great to this be a theme for an upcoming month's picks!
