Happy Pride Month! In celebration, we’re pulling out all the LGBTQIA+ books that were nominated last year (I’d go beyond last year, but that would be a long list!). There are some excellent books on here, just right for reading during June! I’m sure we’ve missed some; if there are omissions, let us know and we’ll add them!
