I just finished This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel. I highly recommend it; quick read and truly enlightening as to what a parent of a transgender individual might go through. The author is a parent of a transgender child herself but didn't base her novel on her real life experiences but certainly gives one food for thought of what a parent could go through.
As a newbie to Dungeons & Dragons I'm reading the D&D Players Handbook.
Which edition? I haven't played in years....
I'm not the least bit surprised you relate Absolutely appreciated his raw truth telling accounts, which depicted its realities less the glamourised retells a la select portrayals on the big/small screen.
One of these days I'll have to add it to my reading list. I think too many people either are afraid to speak up on things for fear of retaliation. Or, they Hollywoodize things simply to try and make money.
I'm reading El lector de Julio Verne, by Almudena Grandes. It's part of Episodios de una guerra interminable (Episodes of a never-ending war), which is a superb series about how the people who lost the Spanish Civil War managed to survive (and live) during the post-war years and the dictatorship.

This *really* stuck with me.
LOVED this one... big fan!
It’s really good so far! It has reflection questions at the end of each chapter/section to really help me work through some stuff.
I used to enjoy Mat Best's videos, and such. But, IMO, he's long past his 15 minutes of fame.

Excellent writing, disturbing & comical subject matter.
Next up I’m supposed to be starting Gnomon
