Munroe Bergdorf: Transitional (Hardcover, 2022, HarperOne)

Review of 'Transitional' on 'Goodreads'

This is one of the books that made my year. It's about personal growth and healing, about fighting racism and transphobia and about finding a place and medium for one's activism.
Deep insights, lots of things to relate to and a lot of things to learn and unlearn as a white priviledged person.

Raimund Wolfert: Charlotte Charlaque: Transfrau, Laienschauspielerin, "Königin der Brooklyn Heights Promenade" (German language)

Review of 'Charlotte Charlaque: Transfrau, Laienschauspielerin, "Königin der Brooklyn Heights Promenade"' on 'Goodreads'

A very empathic attempt to follow the life of one of the first transgender women on Europe who was a patient and later employee of Magnus Hirschfeld's famous Institute of Sexual Research. Too bad it's only available in German though …

Lex Croucher: Reputation (Paperback, 2021, Zaffre)

Review of 'Reputation' on 'Goodreads'

I liked this book so much. The historic setting is the regency period, the language is as delicate and flowery as I would expect but interspersed with wonderful and hilarious anachronisms that make it a constant delight to read.
Lex Croucher has a wonderful, sometimes a little edgy humor. Yes, this is not Jane Austen, but it doesn't claim to be. It's something utmost delightful.
