This week’s topic is:

Pride Month Book Recs! 🌈

Prompts: Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 To celebrate, we’d love to hear about your favourite LGBTQIA+ books, why you love them, and what books you’d recommend for a summer Pride reading list. Are there any new releases you’re looking forward to reading this Pride Month?

I don’t know about you, but I love discovering new LGBTQIA+ gems! I know there are tons of queer books out there and many that I already have on my TBR and that I need to read asap! Below are some of my favourites and a couple more that are still on my TBR, but that I hope to get to this summer! 🤞🏽

A FEW ALL-TIME FAVOURITES

These are a mix of novels, novellas, and graphic novels, plus a mix of genres as well! Even though some of the characters really go through it in their stories, all of them had happy or satisfyingly fitting endings, and they all left me feeling warm and overflowing with love. ❤️ I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of these reads to everyone!

Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles, Mooncakes by Wendy Xu, Lunar Boy by Jes and Cin Wibowo, A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland, Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell, Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender, Everything for You by Chloe Liese, Sofi and the Bone Song by Adrienne Tooley, Chef’s Kiss by Jarrett Melendez, Sing Anyway by Anita Kelly, The Knight and the Butcherbird by Alix E. Harrow, A Song for You and I by K. O’Neill, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, A Rival Most Vial by R.K. Ashwick, Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu

SUMMER POSSIBILITIES

I’m hoping that 2025 will be the year that I finally read some of these books cos at least half of them have been on my TBR for… Too many years now! Three, at least, are 2025 releases and I’m keen to give them a read.

This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron, Copper Script by K.J. Charles, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, If We Were A Movie by Zakiya N. Jamal, Lady’s Knight by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner, The Great Believers by Rebecca Makai, Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake, I’m So Not Over You by Kosoko Jackson, Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell

  8. Great books! I really need to read Last Night at the Telegraph Club – it’s been sat on my Kindle collecting dust for far too long! I also just got my Libby loan through for If We Were a Movie so hopefully I’ll get to that before my hold expires.

    I hope you get a chance to read all of these soon and love them!
