This extraordinary box features Maia Kobabe's groundbreaking graphic novel Gender Queer. We're also pleased to pass along one of the author's magnificent signed bookplates (shown in the last picture) to unite with eir book. And as if these things weren’t already incredible enough, e also designed the limited edition enamel lapel pin that comes in this box. We’re not exaggerating when we say this is the ultimate Gender Queer box.
One of our all-time favorite boxes, the headliner is Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. We've never read anything quite like it, a fascinating novel that contains so much: It's a queer romantic urban murder mystery fantasy adventure steeped in Latinx culture. Also an excellent and important read you’ll be glad you picked up, Jennine Capó Crucet’s My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education is a collection of essays exploring the author’s condition of finding hersel a stranger in the country where she was born. If we were afraid of making this box our magnum opus, we surely would not have included our best-loved enamel pin, which depicts the cutest little trans ghost and was designed by veritably talented artist Robin Morgan. Further delights include an organic lavender and mugwort dream pillow by Spirit Wild Farm and a handmade macrame keychain by Ray of Sunshine Designs.
Prison censorship is the most pervasive form of censorship in the United States, according to PEN America.

Plus, you’ll receive Prison Ramen, a collection of recipes and stories from behind bars, by Clifton Collins Jr. and Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez, and The Pocket Guide to Outdoor Knots by Geoffrey Budworth. Also, you'll find some rope to practice your knot-tying skills.
Scribbler extraordinaire Robin Morgan designed the “Reading is for Everyone” pin, and Librarian Artist AnneArchy created the hand drawn “Revolution Now” nigella (AKA love-in-a-mist) flower paper sticker.
Our lead book in this box is Ashley Hope Pérez’ skillfully layered historical novel Out of Darkness, with copies graciously inscribed by the author. This box also includes a zine on fighting books bans written by Pérez!
We’ve also packed in Jesmyn Ward's torrid memoir Men We Reaped, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
We're fiercely proud of the the book cover pin and the limited edition pencil pouch artist Robin Morgan designed for this box, and to top it all off, you'll receive a list of suggested titles for your anti-racist reading shelf.
