[shiraglassman]

is there a recommended reading order for your books? I've been putting it off because I don't want to get it wrong

Hi @loth-catgirl! Thanks for writing. Here's a post with a lot of details about that as well as feedback from readers: https://shiraglassman.tumblr.com/post/670151839341314048/thefingerfuckingfemalefury

The short answer for Mangoverse is: The Second Mango, Climbing the Date Palm, A Harvest of Ripe Figs, and The Olive Conspiracy. The short stories in Tales from Perach are scattered throughout the chronology. However: all the books are written as standalones because as a reader I don't like the pressure of having to read more than one book to get a complete story. (Here's a link for all five as a single $17 bundle, 5 pdf's: https://payhip.com/b/nrGb8 )

All my other books aren't part of a series, although Lauren from Lioness in Blue was Clara from Knit One Girl Two's first kiss (but like, a decade ago), and they both take place in the same universe as Fearless because the HS students in Fearless are into the same paranormal superhero fandom as Clara and Danielle in Knit One Girl Two. But none of that actually matters.

Here is the text for the images: #1. “Protect Nonbinary Jewish Youth” #2. “Nonbinary Jews are wonderful” #3. “Respect Nonbinary Jews” #4. “Nonbinary Jews Belong in our communities” ]

Image Set #6: Nonbinary Jews

Image Set #1: Queer Jews

Image Set #2: Ace Jews

Image Set #3: Aro Jews

Image Set #4: Gay Jews

Image Set #5: Trans Jews

This is true all throughout the year, but I want to highlight these affirmations this Hanukkah.  The phrases on these sets are based on a set by @genderqueerpositivity​ about trans lesbian women.  I have a different identity set for each night of Hanukkah, so if you don’t see your identity here, please be patient. =D

And because I’m not Jewish and I want to center Jewish voices, I’ll be featuring a link to a different @shiraglassman story each night.

Today is Dragon Appreciation Day!

But Socchan, you say, there are so many cool dragons out there, how do I pick one to start with?

Allow me to recommend Isaac from @shiraglassman‘s Mangoverse series!

Isaac is a wizard with the power (among others) to transform into a dragon and other reptiles. He looks like he’d be sneaky, and he is, but he’s also super big-hearted and very protective of his loved ones, especially including a whole bunch of awesome MOGAI characters.

You can find out more about Isaac and the people he loves and protects in the latest book in the Mangoverse, The Olive Conspiracy [ Amazon | PDF ], or in the short story collection, Tales From Perach [ Amazon | PDF ]. All the stories are super cute and fluffy, and none of the queer characters die. The entire series can be read in any order.

4 & 20

good news, your totally random numbers correspond to Tales from Perach by Shira Glassman! This is the collection of short stories set in her Perach universe (The Second Mango series). Some nice fluffy jewish stories that I enjoyed, though I didn’t think they were super impressive or anything

[shiraglassman]

💕 humbled and grateful to read this 💖

I’m reading all of the Mangoverse books and this exchange has made me possibly the happiest any piece of fiction has ever made me. I am crying tears of joy and pain and I am unable to describe how freeing it is to read this. This is in Shira Glassman’s Tales from Perach short story collection. I could go on and on and I might at a later point but for right now I am going to bask in this feeling and let it be my self care.

I've been reading Shira Glassman's A Harvest of Ripe Figs aloud on Discord to a couple friends 😄 2/3 through atmo.

Definitely love these books; I read Climbing the Date Palm previously and just bought The Olive Conspiracy and Tales From Perach; now just waiting for The Second Mango to be sold as pdf and REALLY looking forward to that one.

[shiraglassman]

it is basically exactly that except with Torah stories

(since I didn’t identify it in my post: “Rivka in Port Saltspray” from Tales from Perach)

I am happy to report that you've won a copy of Tales From Perach via my giveaway :) Please respond to this ask (or send me one of your own) with your e-mail address formatted weird (like "blahblah-at-somewhere-dot-something" ) so Tumblr doesn't eat it, and I'll send you a PDF copy of Tales From Perach! If PDF doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll see if I can work something out with Shira. Thanks for participating!

Aw yiss, I am so excited! Pdf is fine, just send it to invadersDOTsayDOTniATgmailDOTcom! Thank you so much!
