	Description:		Hey y'all! It's time for an encore episode: Roller Girl by Vanessa North! We will be back next week with our annual Reading Embrace episode, but we think the best way to start 2022 is with this feel-good lesbian romance between a trans athlete and a plumber/roller derby coach. It's exactly what we need! Roller derby, tons of enthusiastic consent, low-stakes conflict, a whole gaggle of awesome side characters, the importance of lady friendship! This novella was a big yum, a big swoon, and a big heart soar! Bonus Content: Erin knows so much about roller derby and Melody actually sobs with joy near the end. Lady Loves: Erin: Ann Aguirre is writing a HELIX ROMANCE called LOVE CODE and you can read it if you sign up for her newsletter! Helix romance! AI romance! Alien sex with head tentacles! Melody: THE OLD GUARD. Is a beautiful Netflix action movie with Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne, plus a whole bunch of other super talented actors. Found family, incredible fight scenes, and the most beautiful romance subplot I've EVER SEEN. There is this declaration of love between Joe and Nicky that is so pure and deep and heartfelt that it knocked my socks off! Also the HIGHER LEARNING PODCAST with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay. Every episode is pure gold. They use current events as a vehicle to talk about bigger subjects regarding race and Black culture. Subscribe now.
