 ### Some books I've enjoyed
 
 Because why not.
-- [Sister, Outsider](https://bookshop.org/books/sister-outsider-essays-and-speeches-9780143134442/9781580911863) by Audre Lorde, an incredible collection of essays.
-- [The Price of Salt](https://bookshop.org/books/the-price-of-salt-or-carol/9780486800295) by Patricia Highsmith, a stunningly beautiful novel that became the film <i>Carol</i>.
-- [How We Fight For Our Lives](https://bookshop.org/books/how-we-fight-for-our-lives-a-memoir-2296de7f-771a-406c-9c47-f5c6a0f0a8b9/9781501132742) by Saeed Jones, I could not stop talking about this memoir.
-- [Giovanni’s Room](https://bookshop.org/books/giovanni-s-room-9780792796107/9780345806567) by James Baldwin is from a similar era as <i>The Price of Salt</i> (1956 and 1952 respectively); I couldn’t believe it was written then. Beautiful and moving.
-- [How to Be an Antiracist](https://bookshop.org/books/how-to-be-an-antiracist/9780525509288) by Ibram X. Kendi was an important starting point for me on better understanding and committing to being antiracist

-- [The Great Believers](https://bookshop.org/books/the-great-believers/9780735223530) by Rebecca Makai was a book I was so sad to finish because I wanted more time with these characters.
+- [Sister, Outsider](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32951.Sister_Outsider) by Audre Lorde, an incredible collection of essays with real staying power. Her observations and reflections on racism, the creative power of anger, the uses of the erotic, and achieving social change are deeply insightful. Absolute canon.
+- [The Price of Salt](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52258.The_Price_of_Salt) by Patricia Highsmith, a stunningly beautiful lesbian romance novel that became the film <i>Carol</i>. A quick and totally transporting read.

+- [How to Be an Antiracist](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40265832-how-to-be-an-antiracist) by Ibram X. Kendi was an important starting point for me on better understanding and committing to being antiracist.

+- [Cantoras](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43289181-cantoras) by Carolina de Robertis is a beautifully told story about a group of queer women who find a haven on the coast during the Uruguayan dictatorship in the 1970s, and their intertwined lives over the following decades. Exquisite.
+- [Hijab Butch Blues](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61111274-hijab-butch-blues) by Lamya H., is a wonderful memoir by a queer hijabi Muslim immigrant. It goes back and forth between taking a story of a prophet from the Koran and weaving it in with her life, and it brought me to tears at how beautiful it is.
+- [The Mountains Sing](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49631287-the-mountains-sing) by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai follows a family from the early 20th century under French colonialism to the present. Beautiful historical fiction, and I learned a lot about the 20th century history of Vietnam.
+- [Circe](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35959740-circe) by Madeline Miller really surprised me! I thought I found Greek mythology boring, but this was captivating. I honestly recommend this as an audiobook, it was a very impressive and melodic reading.
+- [Young Mungo](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58891551-young-mungo) by Douglas Stuart is a story of two teenage boys in Glasgow, Scotland (one Protestant, one Catholic) who become friends and fall in love. It's almost hard to recommend this book; it's unbearably painful at times, but also so stunning. Reading this book broke me a little bit. Glowing endorsement, right?
