I'm going to go for all ten, but I am bummed to see J.K. Rowling being pushed. I loved Harry Potter once upon a time too, but her explicit & vitriolic transphobia is pretty impossible to ignore at this point.
Ciara wrote: "I'm going to go for all ten, but I am bummed to see J.K. Rowling being pushed. I loved Harry Potter once upon a time too, but her explicit & vitriolic transphobia is pretty impossible to ignore at ..."I understand, Ciara and while might I agree, Goodreads is not the place to take a political stance, in my opinion.
Luckily, there are 19 other prompt options to choose from :)
Welcome everyone! I'll add all the names to the list at some point tomorrow. Looking forward an amazing new reading month!
Have a great weekend!

Trans & gender non-conforming people comprise my closest family members, & their health & well-being is my number one priority. I understand that these topics are abstractions for a lot of people--even Rowling herself, probably! But there is nothing more real & personal to me than my family. As always, I'm glad these challenges offer options.
