This episode is all about 2SLGBT+ audiobook memoirs you can grab on the Libby app.

First up, we've got "Baggage" by Alan Cumming, and then "Naturally Tan" by Tan France from Queer Eye. Next, we'll slide into Saeed Jones's "How We Fight for Our Lives," followed by "Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw" by Eddie Ndopu and Schuyler Bailar's "He She They."

After enjoying d'bi young anitafrika's song "Kiss," we'll continue with more memoirs: "Family Outing" by Jessi Hempil, "Ma and Me" by Putsata Reang, and "Embracing Queer Family" by Nia Chiarmonte and Katie J. Chiarmonte.

After listening to the sample from "Horses and Sand: A Memoir" by Métis writer Lorrie Potvin, I added it to my "to be read/listen to" list. It's narrated by Mohawk actress and singer, Cheri Maracle and I wanted to hear more. HEADS UP: the sample includes references to unwanted sexual touching. I wrestled with whether to include it since it might be triggering, but it serves its purpose by helping you decide if you want to borrow the book. Feel free to listen or scroll ahead five minutes, where I wrap things up, not with a memoir, but with "Queer Little Nightmares: An Anthology of Monstrous Fiction and Poetry," edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli.

And finally, I close the show with "Rising" by Lhasa de Sela (Lhasa), just because I wanted to share her amazing voice with you.
