i'd like to suggest lore by alexandra bracken!

[May]

I'll nominate

[Riddhi B.]

We can read Delirium by Lauren Oliver

[Phoenix (Books with Wings)]

Could I suggest that we read a book with LGBTQIAP+ rep/main character? Given that June is pride month, it seems fitting. But we totally don't have to! Anyways, I'll suggest Off the Record by Camryn Garrett, it just came out in May. However, there are trigger warnings for sexual abuse/harrassment/assault, so if you don't want this book on the list, that's fine. I do think it'd be a very interesting and important book to read, though!

A few suggestions:

- Amari and the Night Brothers
- Firekeepers Daughter
- Foolish Hearts

LGBTQ+ book sounds great! I haven't read Carry On, and I hear that it is one of the most popular books which represents this community and that it has tons of harry potter vibes! I would love to read it!

We could read something pride month related, maybe? Or one of these?

Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
The Henna Wars
Meet Cute Diary
The Red Scrolls of Magic

(Ignore me appearing out of nowhere after being gone for like a month) I also vote something with a lot of lgbtq+ rep! I reccomend either:

Peter Darling
Or, if anyone else here hasn't read it, (even if it feels a bit overhyped looking at it from the perspective of someone who hasn't read it)
Red, White & Royal Bluein is really popular!

Ah, unfortunately the June BOTM has already closed and we're reading Lore by Alexandra Bracken! I love ALL of the recs that you guys just gave (not saying that I've read them all but I've read several and the ones I haven't sound amazing) and when the July BOTM suggestion topic goes up I hope you guys suggest these books there!
(also, hi Sunny!!! It's so good to see you again!)
