    Here I Go A-Rambling

    In this episode I am not talking about a memoir effectively breaking my streak of talking about memoirs. But I am talking about a really fun book that I ADORED and some really fun things coming up for those that participate on Instagram. The Trans read-a-thon is the 20th-27th of March where you want to try and read as many trans, non-binary and gender queer authors and stories as possible. It's gonna be amazing! Hope you enjoy!

I talk about some things from my past and how uncertain I am feeling these days. And I've decided to keep up the trend and share my plans for the rest of my Memoir March month. Enjoy!
