BUT you can totally read them in any order, because she is such a varied author, you can choose whatever you like! also i mentioned in my video that some of vivek’s earlier works contain diff. pronouns than she currently uses, and said to use she/her at all times — obviously if vivek requests ppl use different pronouns than she/her then pls do so but my point is pls don’t misgender vivek, even if previous books suggest differently!!!! thanks love u all. my pronouns: any pronouns! she/her, he/him, they/them, any. intro & outro music: chill. by sakura Hz soundcloud.com/sakurahertzCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Library youtu.be/pF2tXC1pXNo intro & outro banner by: me channel banner and icon done by: val of artbyval.ca Find me elsewhere: instagram: @holmesstorybooksgoodreads: goodreads.com/user/show/12443776-lydiaemail / business enquiries: holmestorybooks@gmail.combooks + media mentioned: Even This Page is White — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/28818619-even-this-page-is-white She of the Mountains — Vivek Shrayagoodreads.com/book/show/20702399-she-of-the-mountains I’m Afraid of Men — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/39391177-i-m-afraid-of-men God Loves Hair — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/20702399-she-of-the-mountains The Boy and the Bindi — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/28818768-the-boy-the-bindi Death Threat — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/41556238-death-threat What I LOVE About Being Queer — Vivek Shraya goodreads.com/book/show/18070503-what-i-love-about-being-queer

Literary Fiction vs. Commercial Fiction vs. Feminism Lydia H 2018-06-02 | [CC available]A discussion video about literary fiction, commercial fiction and where my feminism fitted and fits within it all. From a 15-year-old “I’m not like other girls / readers!” to where I am now, it’s been a long and winding road, full of white boi literary fiction, cosy commercial crime books, raunchy romance reads and FINALLY, literary fiction written by women, queer people and women of colour. I do apologise if I’ve forgotten a link somewhere, and for the sometimes repeating footage. A girl can’t be perfect. If I’ve missed something you’re particularly interested in, do let me know pls.

Holmes Recommends: American Civil Rights Era Comics Lydia H 2018-05-23 | [CC available]Another Holmes Recommends video! In which I gush about John Lewis (a lot) and Nate Powell is a powerhouse and features many, many times. I feel like there’s a part in this video where I talk a lot about my own experience with March, book 2, but if there was any white-centering, it was unintentional. The book (and Lewis’ activism) means a lot to me and taught me so much. I hope my reviews get better and better, reflecting on my own experiences without minimising anything I’m talking about. Oh, trigger warnings for many of these books. Lots of police brutality, violence and depictions of lynching, racism, etc. Audio used: Original song by Tomas Andel.Used with permission.

Publishing House or Home? My Favourite Publishers: Arsenal Pulp Press Lydia H 2018-05-01 | [CC available]A video in which I gush about one of my favourite small publishing houses, Arsenal Pulp Press. I spend an equal amount of time talking about Ivan Coyote, so I love them too. Not sponsored, but if Arsenal Pulp Press would like to send me some proofs or ARCs, I wouldn’t say no. c; The issue I was having with my CC seems to be fixed!Also I meant to say: Although Arsenal Pulp Press are a small press in Canada, they do have distributors worldwide, so check your library, you'll never know what you find.Audio used: Original song by Tomas Andel.Used with permission.
