🍉 Queer Palestinian Books 🍉

🇵🇸 The algorithm is going to keep silencing my posts, but they're not going to silence me. I grew up with little to no books that made me feel seen as a queer/bisexual Palestinian Arab American. Today, it's still not easy enough to find those books online, even though we have thousands of lists, posts, and directories to guide us. To make your search a little easier, here are a few queer Palestinian books to add to your TBR. Please help me spread this by reblogging. Consider adding these to your least for Read Palestine Week (click for resources)! 💜

We spent a lovely, peaceful evening out on the terrace, watching pigeons woo each other and admiring a graceful trio of doves that flew down to feast on some grains we’d spread out to dry.

Does anyone know a good book to start with for Octavia E. Butler?

I have some of her books digitally but I’ve never been sure where to start! I’m open to one shots or a series!

#octavia e butler #I’ve been wanting to read her for a long time #and I want to finally get to it!
