We're getting to the end of the Trans Rights Readathon, which started March 21st and goes through Trans Day of Visibility, March 31st, but I thought those participating might still be looking for some books and really, we all should read trans books all year long anyway. So I'm sharing a list of trans books I've enjoyed. These are all books with trans main characters but are not necessarily by trans authors, and they are all really good—I've probably recommended at least some of them before. I'm also going to share my books with trans characters in case anyone is interested in my fantasy romances, though I am not a trans author.
The Brilliant Death by AR Capetta
Peter Darling by Austin Chant
The Forgotten Dead by Jordan L Hawk
Kinship and Kindness by Kara Jorgensen
When the Moon was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
A Shore Thing by Joanna Lowell
Hold Me by Courtney Milan
Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
As for my books, A Dance of Water and Air and A Harmony of Fire and Earth both have a trans main character (and should be read in order!). The Envoy's Honor has an important nonbinary supporting character, Romilly, (this book is part of a series but stands alone), and Romilly shows up again in To Love the Dragon King which is the first book in a new series. It also has another important trans supporting character (both Felix and Romilly will have their own books in this series—Felix's is the soon to be published To Know a Dragon Spy).
I'm currently reading Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender, which I'm really enjoying so far. Do you have any favorite trans books?
