Just finished Light From Uncommon Stars. I’m not even sure I have words—I got it from the library but I may need to buy a copy to keep. Intertwining stories of self, gender, love, and community, as expressed through a young trans woman, a violin teacher who has a deal with a literal devil and souls to collect, and an alien refugee learning how not to fear endings. #bookstadon #lgbtq #LightFromUncommonStars

The worst #bookstodon thing to happen has happened to me. I didn't finish my #audiobook #LightFromUncommonStars before #LibbyApp ripped it from my airplane mode phone. 😭😭
2.5 hours left and I have to wait 8 weeks to finish it? 😭 I've put the kindle on hold too now, but even that has a 6 week wait.

Light From Uncommon Stars (2021) von Ryka Aoki. Diese ebenso verrückte wie berührende Geschichte über eine Raumschiffkapitänin, einen Pakt mit dem Teufel und ein trans Mädchen auf der Suche nach Sicherheit wärmt das Herz, ohne die entsetzliche Lebensrealität der Protagonistin zu beschönigen. Dabei bieten die kulinarischen Exkurse einen intimen Einblick ins Leben im kulturellen Melting Pot des San Gabriel Valley. Plus: Donuts!

Listening to the audiobook of #LightFromUncommonStars and it’s *brilliant*. #UrbanFantasy and #SciFi fusion, with a woman who needs a seventh musician protégée so she can free her soul from hell, and her blossoming queer romance with the donut lady from space she doesn’t have time to be infatuated with. And there’s a trans runaway musician who finds herself (somewhat unwillingly) at the centre of the story. So far I think it’s an all-Asian cast of characters too. Loving it. #Books

Currently reading Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki. Main character is asian, trans and plays an instrument. I feel so represented and relate to her so much. So, there's that and why #representation matters.
