THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA BY TJ KLUNE
In this feel-good urban fantasy, named one of Amazon’s Best science fiction and fantasy books of 2020, Linus Baker is a 40-year-old Case Worker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth (DICOMY), where he observes the well-being of magical children in government-sanctioned orphanages. When Linus is instructed by Extremely Upper Management at DICOMY to take on the classified task of observing Marsyas Island Orphanage, he thinks it will be like any other job, but he soon finds that the orphanage houses six dangerous magical children, all under the care of the enigmatic Arthur Parnassas. But as Linus gets to know the children, and grows closer to Arthur, he has to decide between his career and his heart.
The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
In this reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, socialite golfer Jordan Baker, one of the characters in the Fitzgerald book, takes center stage. Here, Jordan has been adopted from her native Vietnam by a wealthy American couple. She has to learn to navigate being a queer Asian woman amongst New York City’s elite, who tend to treat her as an exotic attraction. Something else that sets her apart from her peers? Her ability to bring paper silhouettes temporarily to life. Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and Nick Carroway are all here, but it’s Jordan you’ll remember long after you’ve finished this spellbinding tale. (publishers website)

Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity by C. Riley Snorton
ISBN: 9781517901738
Publication Date: 2017-12-05
The story of Christine Jorgensen, America’s first prominent transsexual, famously narrated trans embodiment in the postwar era. Her celebrity, however, has obscured other mid-century trans narratives—ones lived by African Americans such as Lucy Hicks Anderson and James McHarris. Their erasure from trans history masks the profound ways race has figured prominently in the construction and representation of transgender subjects. In Black on Both Sides, C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence.

Along the way, she finds out that a family isn’t always something you’re born to, but something that you can discover in the strangest places.
