This is a cookbook about living with depression. Granted, I live with bipolar, but this cookbook focuses more on living with the depressive aspect of things. There are also lots of kick-ass recipes in this book, many of which are either Asian or Asian-inspired. Come for the bok choy, stay for the mental health!

I was friends with a neo-Nazi for three months. Being an autistic, queer, half-Hispanic woman, this is rather unusual. However, if you want to know more about him and about us, feel free to give this book a whirl. I hope you will at least be entertained.

Put It On is a book of poetry. It includes an essay about a relationship between a young cis woman and a trans man named Jasper. It is also about the death of the author's father, and her relationship with him. There is also poetry about friends of the author who have passed from this world.

Kobieta is a book of poetry. Some of it is fictional, and some of it is not. Can you tell the difference? It covers mistakes I've made in past relationships, astronomy (not to be confused with astrology), schools breaking the law, the life story of one of my best friends who is an Asian trans man, a poem written from the point of view of my therapist, reflections on the meaning of infidelity, and other such goodies. Intrigued? Read on.
