I run a book club that shares a name with this website, Trans-cendent Tales, where on Discord and StoryGraph, we read a fiction book every month featuring a trans main character! We read a variety of genres and age ranges.

In 2025, the books we have read so far are:
January: The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy (trans girl MC; adult fantasy)
February: The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi (disabled trans woman MC; adult fantasy)
March: The Flowered Blade by Taylor Hubbard (disabled queer trans man MC; adult fantasy romance)
April: The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester (disabled ace nonbinary MC; young adult mystery)
May: Woodworking by Emily St. James (trans woman MC, trans girl MC; adult literary fiction)
June: Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White (disabled aro trans boy MC; young adult thriller)
July: The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia (aroace nonbinary MC; adult fantasy)
August: The Dandelion and the Thistle by Pip Dolyn (demiboy grayace MC, trans man MC; adult romance)
September: Beating Heart Baby by Lio Min (trans boy MC; young adult contemporary)
October: Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas (queer trans boy MC; young adult urban fantasy)

The voting for August, September, and October’s books is currently still happening over on my Discord server (join here), so I’ll update this when the voting is complete! To join the club, click the link and every month when we start a new book, I create a channel and link to the StoryGraph buddy read. UPDATE: The voting is closed and the books are listed above!

I started this book club back in August 2024, so the books we read last year were:
August: Seven Devils by L.R. Lam and Elizabeth May (trans woman major side character; adult science fiction; yes, I put my foot down and we read this first, it’s my personality)
September: Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki (trans woman MC; adult science fiction)
October: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher (nonbinary MC; adult horror)
November: The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie (trans man MC; adult fantasy)
December: Second Chances in New Port Stephen by TJ Alexander (trans man MC; adult romance)
