Nice to meet you! Don't worry I have lots of books I love too!

Yup! Absolutely! Usually if the book has been released I'll say that if it's classified under LGBTQ+ under it's shelves on Goodreads then it's valid but if it's an ARC and it hasn't been classified yet then you can use the prompts :)

And yes, record everything you've been reading this month but only list the LGBTQ books under the prompt categories

Yep they do! They would count (e.g., page points, review points, extra points) but you just won't get the prompt points which gives you an extra 2 points.

Nice! I still need to actually read an LGBTQ+ book. I haven't used any of the prompts yet but I'm reading a girl/girl romance so hopefully I'll start using them soon!!

Ahhhh I have no idea which one it fits either! I haven't even heard of this book until just seconds ago 😅

Eileen wrote: "I highly recommend Gender Queer, a graphic novel memoir by the author about eir journey into understanding eir gender identity as non-binary."

Ooh nice! I need to check that one out! I'm currently reading The Lucky List. It's a girl/girl romance and so far I'm enjoying it!

Eileen wrote: "Oh man, that sucks! Which book was it?"

A Song Below Water by Bethany C Morrow. I was on Part 7 (there are 9 parts but the last part usually is just acknowledgements and authors notes and things like that so I don't count it) and I was almost up to the last part but then it automatically returned the audiobook back to the library. You can't renew it *cries*

Eileen wrote: "Oooh, I will have to add that book to my list, although the wait is quite a long time from my library (4-6 weeks). still, it sounds interesting!"

Same! I hate library queues! I now have to wait for 3 people to finish this audiobook that I was listening to before I can borrow it again since it expired on me when I had only 1 part left to go!

Eileen wrote: "Okay, I just finished reading Ace of Spades and OMG, it is soooooo good! Highly recommend this one!"

Ahhh nice!! I just finished More than Just a Pretty Face and I rated it 5 stars!! June is off to a great start!

I think I might too. I have other books on my TBR and might read those instead :)

Ooh yikes!! I just read that article you sent me and whoa! I didn't even know that Meredith was like that at all! I had her books on my TBR since forever like If I Was Your Girl and Birthday. I don't know if I should read them or if I should be more hesitant...

Eileen wrote: "I think I might try reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson since it's been on my list!"

Ooh nice! I haven't read that one but I want to!

Eileen wrote: "Zoe, there is a thread in this readathon section that gives you instructions for posting your finished books. :)"

Thank you Eileen :)

Ahh I've heard negative things about the author too. I heard about a lot of people cancelling them but I don't know why specifically
