January 2024 Reading Roundup
Hello world of 2024 welcome to my personal journal where i just recount how my month went while also providing my reading list. In the past I just listed each book in the order I read them but this year I'm going to try different formats and see which I like best. So lets begin:
How to describe January? January is the month of my birth so happy 28th to me. January is the month I finally started the process for HRT so I hope that everything goes well without issues. January is the month that I got the news that I am moving far far far away from my family and finally getting a little bit of freedom. January is also the month that marked 100 days (and counting) of the genocide of the Palestinians. 100+ days of inaction of world leaders who decided to side with greed, with colonialism, and with imperialism. I hope 2024 brings a free Palestine, freedom to all those suffering under occupation, and an end to Western hegemony.
