I'm in for the full week and looking forward to it! I've had Pride Month as my blog theme this month so I've almost exhausted my personal stash of queer authors/books, but I'm going to the library on Thursday so I'll see what I can find...and can you believe this will be the first time I will be able to walk in and browse at my local library since March 2020??!??!! Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is reading. I'll make a post to keep track of things on Thursday.
Hi friends! I'm definitely gonna try to do this readathon; basically, for my TBR I just chose a few LGBTQIA+ books and/or authors from the ARCs that I'm behind on. - Cool for the Summer

- The Fell of Dark (this isn't an ARC, just a library book that I have checked out at the moment!)

I picked up a couple of fiction Anxious People and The Human Son as well as a couple of cookbooks Heritage and Grill It! . I had a slow start on Thursday but with this excessive heat the next few days (I'm in western Washington) I plan on finding a relatively cool spot to just read and drink lots of iced tea.

I’ve kind of lost track of when I had read what, but I’ve just finished Red White & Royal Blue! Still a great re-read, and still one of my favourite books of all time. One Last Stop was super well written, and my first W|W book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it :D Demon Arms was also great, and I am super appreciative that Sadie Sins (the author) had uploaded the entire original version of the book on her website, so thank you Sadie! :)) I had lots of fun participating in this readathon so far :D
I thoroughly enjoyed this read-a-thon and all the amazing books I got to read during it. Where are my Solsticers by Jennifer Laslie (lesbian/bi main characters and bisexual author)
