Queer Your Year 2023 - hosted by laura_sackton

A book set on a continent you don't live on
Please feel free to add books set on any continent! I've started with 7 (yes, there's even one set on Antarctica). Because so many queer books in English are set in the U.S. and Europe, a focus on other continents is welcome!
