LGBTQ+ Pride 2021

Hosted by adventuryn

71 participants, 241 books added

Starts: Tuesday, 01 June 2021

Ends: Thursday, 01 July 2021

 This is a month-long challenge for June in celebration of LGBTQ+ authors and character representation in literature.

One book can cover more than one prompt, but only one book per author counts.  In case it's in question for anyone, audiobooks are a totally valid form of reading.  If you can't sit down and read text for whatever reason, you can totally still participate. :)
Also, a note on the "pre-1950s" category: Some works are known to have been written prior to 1950, but for any number of reasons were published posthumously, some by almost 100 years or more.

If there's any inconsistencies, more info, or books that have been mis-categorized, please let us know.

Prompts:
1. Read a book written by an LGBTQ+ author.
2. Read a book with an LGBTQ+ protagonist.
3. Read a book with LGBTQ+ characters/author/etc from your favorite genre.
