Transgender Awareness Week began on November 13th, so it seemed like the perfect time to share some trans book recommendations (though definitely read trans books all year!). I have probably recommended some of these books before—I have the worst time choosing from the books I love and the bad habit of forgetting about books until after I've shared (one day, I will fix this issue), but for now, have some book recs:
Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore (paranormal romance)
The Doctor's Discretion by E.E. Ottoman (historical romance)
Peter Darling by Austin Chant (fantasy romance)
Kinship and Kindness by Kara Jorgensen (historical fantasy romance)
The Forgotten Dead by Jordan L. Hawk (paranormal romance)
The Potion Gardener by Arden Powell (historical fantasy romance)
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore (YA fantasy)
The Brilliant Death by A.R. Capetta (YA fantasy)
The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas (YA fantasy)
The Doctor's Discretion by E.E. Ottoman (historical romance)
Peter Darling by Austin Chant (fantasy romance)
Kinship and Kindness by Kara Jorgensen (historical fantasy romance)
The Forgotten Dead by Jordan L. Hawk (paranormal romance)
The Potion Gardener by Arden Powell (historical fantasy romance)
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore (YA fantasy)
The Brilliant Death by A.R. Capetta (YA fantasy)
The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas (YA fantasy)
I also have a few books with trans characters (though I am not a trans author, and you should definitely go read lots of books by trans authors): Arden in A Dance of Water and Air and A Harmony of Fire and Earth is trans. Felix and Romilly are important supporting characters in To Love the Dragon King and will both be main characters of their own books in the series (I'm editing Felix's book, To Know a Dragon Spy, now!) and Romilly is an important character in The Envoy's Honor too.
What are some of your favorite books with trans characters?
