New and Upcoming Books to Discover This Pride Month
Happy Pride Month to all of our fellow readers!
This June we are highlighting new (and upcoming) books for adults by and about the wide-ranging LGBTQ+ community with, well, a wide-ranging list of 2023 books that span about every reading mood you can have, including twisty mysteries, far-out science fiction, beautiful literature, heartfelt memoirs, laugh-out-loud essay collections, and much more. (Oh, if you're yearning for some great romances, we have this list for you!) Of course, this is but a sampling of the fantastic LGBTQ+ books published this year, but we hope it will inspire you.
Scroll over the covers to learn more about each book, and be sure to add the books that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf—and bookmark this list for reading well beyond the month of June!

These are books I've never heard of, but would love to look up and get ready for a summer read
Prophet's DebtProphet's Lamentation
You can add my traditionally published novels to the list.
They're about a girl who is sent to conversion therapy in the remote Appalachians in the 90s, tortured, escapes and comes back for bloody revenge.
Such a great list, and many books added to my tbr! I would have loved to see more translated books, or more that arent set in the US. No shade to any of these books or authors, but I would love to read more books set outside of the US, and authors who dont write in English originally, and I havent seen any comments mention this. Still looking forward to reading some of these and glad this list exists :)

He is clearly just trying to be supportive. Don't attack people for no reason.

So glad to see Brother & Sister Enter the Foreston this list - by my friend, Richard Mirabella! It's so excellent - everyone who loves LGBTQ+ novels should read it!
I cannot wait to update my reading list with so many amazing new Queer books. It's so fun finding books that relate to me more.And I'm super looking forward to listening to Pageboy!
And Love Bites More
(on pre-order now)
I've read so many fab LGBTQ+ books. My faves are:
Love that you highlight these books, but i am disappointed to see that no indie romance authors are given the spotlight.

I broke my usual no-preorders rule to pre-order Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. Let's trot on together, Chuck. Love your work. I can't wait to read this one.
Thanks for highlighting these — added a few to my “want to read” list.

You just have to hover your curser over the cover to see the summary, etc.. Maybe you're on the app? I imagine it's less functional. (I don't usually use it besides updating progress on a book.)
Milo wrote: "LGBTQ+ books should be part of the annual GR awards."Hear hear! Let's see this happen goodreads
if you hover over the title's cover, you can actually read their descriptions. Other than that, yeah, I do wish there was a way of knowing which books have aroace characters as the lead.
