Stonewall Honor Book

"A love letter to queerness, self-expression, and individuality (also Madonna) that never shies away from the ever-present fear within the queer community of late '80s New York, Like a Love Story made me feel so full--of hope, love, courage, pride, and awe for the many people who fought for love and self-expression in the face of discrimination, cruelty, and death.

A book for warriors, divas, artists, queens, individuals, activists, trend setters, and anyone searching for the courage to be themselves."--Mackenzi Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

It's 1989 in New York City, and for three teens, the world is changing.

Reza is an Iranian boy who has just moved to the city with his mother to live with his stepfather and stepbrother. He's terrified that someone will guess the truth he can barely acknowledge about himself. Reza knows he's gay, but all he knows of gay life are the media's images of men dying of AIDS.

Judy is an aspiring fashion designer who worships her uncle Stephen, a gay man with AIDS who devotes his time to activism as a member of ACT UP. Judy has never imagined finding romance...until she falls for Reza and they start dating.

Art is Judy's best friend, their school's only out and proud teen. He'll never be who his conservative parents want him to be, so he rebels by documenting the AIDS crisis through his photographs.

As Reza and Art grow closer, Reza struggles to find a way out of his deception that won't break Judy's heart--and destroy the most meaningful friendship he's ever known.

This is a bighearted, sprawling epic about friendship and love and the revolutionary act of living life to the fullest in the face of impossible odds.

--Robin Benway, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree

Great for snacking!
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
Being a diabetic I enjoy eating these for a snack because they won’t raise your blood sugar. Taste is fine and an excellent source of protein.

Gross Texture - Weirdly Soft
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
These are literally the nastiest possible version of a meat stick I've ever had. Bought them for the price and for lunches to take to work. As it would turn out, I couldn't give them away to family. Everyone who bravely tried it were met with the same gross, weirdly soft, texture. No matter if it was refrigerated or room temp - it was eerily soft I felt like I was eating baby food. The flavor was... Fine? I guess. It didn't wow me either way, just kinda existed. They are also pretty small, I expected more than 4in per item for the price. I thought the price was good when I thought they were bigger, but when I discovered they were smaller, the price became less worth it. Overall, I'm not sure who the target audience for these it because adults and kids alike did not like them or their weird texture.

Good 😊
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
I’d rather reviews on these before purchasing them and I didn’t think I was gonna like it. I seen a lot of bad reviews lotta negativity, but I was impressed. They’re actually good a little greasy not too much. They were not mushy at all. Remind me of a slim gym, but not that greasy. I normally eat a different brand, but I really like this and I will buy it again. I recommend it. I wasn’t going to try it because a lot of the reviews weren’t too good that I was reading but they’re good. I like them, but I’m glad I tried it and they are zero sugar.

Delicious and Healthy Snack with Unmatched Flavor and Texture
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As someone who is constantly on the lookout for tasty and healthy snacks, I recently came across these Droewors Beef Sticks, and I have to say, I'm truly impressed. The unique air-drying process, combined with the use of vinegar, cloves, and coriander, gives these beef sticks a fantastic flavor that is not only mouth-watering but also worlds apart from other meat sticks I've tried in the past. Pros: Unique Flavor - The combination of spices and the air-drying process creates a taste that is both savory and satisfying. Texture - The coarse ground beef provides a buttery smooth texture that doesn't leave your hands greasy, unlike other meat sticks. Keto, Paleo, and Whole 30 Friendly - These beef sticks fit well with a variety of diets, making them a versatile snack option. High Protein Content - With more protein per ounce than other meat sticks, they're a great natural alternative to protein shakes for muscle fuel. No Sugar - The absence of sugar means no sugar rushes or mood swings, making it a great option for a healthy diet. Cons: Price - These beef sticks might be a bit more expensive than other brands due to their high-quality ingredients and production process. However, I believe the unique flavor and health benefits make the price justifiable. In conclusion, these Droewors Beef Sticks are a delicious and healthy snack option for those following Keto, Paleo, or Whole 30 diets, or simply looking for a tasty protein-packed snack. The unique flavor and texture, coupled with the high protein content and absence of sugar, make these beef sticks stand out from the crowd. While they may be a bit pricier than other meat sticks, the quality and taste make it well worth the investment. Highly recommended!

Good Food
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have had South African Billtong before and I loved it, so I thought I would try SA Droewars and see if they were as satisfying. The answer is yes! They are delicious and nothing like your typical mass marketed jerky snacks sold in the US. Droewars are lightly seasoned beef jerky sticks and, although I have not seen the numbers, they seem to be only lightly salted (important for me). The meat is not chewy or grisly, so the beef cuts they use must be prime. This is the first time I have tried the Ayoba-Yo brand and I am happy with my purchase. I am awaiting delivery of several varieties of Billtong from Ayoba-Yo presently and I will report back. Not inexpensive, but the value is there for sure. Jimmy
