You're listening to All the Backlist. I'm your host, Danica Ellis. This is episode 505.5. And today I'm

recommending three transgraphic novels to read for the 2025 TransRates

Readathon. It started March 21st, but it runs through the 31st, which is Trans Day of Visibility.

So it's not too late to join in, and that's why I thought I would recommend some graphic

novels that you can read in one sitting.

So even if you haven't heard about it until now, you can definitely get started.

So this is the third annual trans rights readathon.

It is an annual call to action that aims to uplift, amplify, and support trans non-binary, gender,

nonconforming, and two-spirit authors. They have five core prompts to complete, as well as a

big list of bonus prompts to help guide your reading. So that includes transmask and trans man

rep, trans femme and trans women rep, non-binary

agender and other gender expansive rep, intersectional trans rep outside your own experience,

as well as Two-Spirit, Indiguaire, and Indigenous gender expansive rep.

So you should check out their Instagram because they have a lot of recommendations

for each of the prompts. The reading challenge is also on Storygraph, where lots of people have

added their own recommendations. You just might want to vet those a little bit, since anyone can

add to it. And they have more information about the readathon in general

on their page. So you should definitely check it out. I will give, like I said, a few recommendations

of transgraphic novels that I have read and loved. And before I get into those, I want to talk to you about TBR. So if you are

looking for recommendations of Bookstread, and I would think you are, because you are here,

you need to know about tailored book recommendations. So our professional book nerds, aka bibliologists, have recommended over

160,000 books to readers of all kinds. So if you check out TBR, they can match you with your next
