My favorite adaptations are always the ones that inject queerness where there previously was none. Here are 69 book-to-queer-TV adaptations along with a look at just how queer the books were.

Topics include The National Enquirer, Anne Frank, Larry Nasser and USA gymnastics, how to save a life, our lives on a mattress, food writing, ballet, teen tv dramas and The Oregon Trail.

Here are 50 of the best books from this year that are by and about women, feminism or gender and related intersectional issues. There seem to be strong recurring themes of dystopia, anger, and navigating violent structures of power. What a coincidence! 

This week in lit: trans* poetry, finding Waldo, reviewing books in GIFs, Doris Lessing, closeted characters, riese reads “the circle” and more.

Is Young Adult fiction unfriendly to LGBTQ characters? The answer is “absolutely not” or “yes,” depending on who you ask.
