Hello everyone!
So as you can see from the title of this post, it is almost that time of year again… #LGBTQMonth! I cannot believe this is the third year already, but I’m so excited to bring you all another month of bookish LGBTQ fun!
As usual there will be some amazing author interviews (the line up is BEYOND exciting, I cannot wait to share it with you all!) I will be hosting a readathon (more below) for the entire month, as well as bringing you reviews and recommendations of some of my favourite queer reads and the return of Queer Quiz too! And of course there will be some special giveaways too, so keep an eye out for them!
I will be posting a full schedule towards the end of the month, but for now I wanted to share with you all the prompts for the readathon, which will be taking place from June 1st – 30th! As always, you are welcome to double or even triple up on prompts if you hope to read less books, but here are the prompts!

Here are the prompts for the readathon! Later in the month I’ll be sharing a post with my TBR this, and I hope you will all share yours with me if you’re taking part!
Debut Book
Simple, choose a debut LGBTQ book!
Been on your TBR for too long
Choose a book that has been sitting on your TBR for far too long
QPOC Author
Choose a book that has been written by a queer author of colour!
Set in the 20th Century
Choose a book that takes place between the years 1900 and 2000!
Free Choice
You can choose whatever book you like, as long as it’s LGBTQ!
Set Outside the UK/US
Choose a book that takes place in a country that isn’t the UK or the US!
Bisexual Rep
Choose a book that has bisexual representation!
Pink Cover
Choose a book that has pink on its cover, however much!
A Book You Think You Will Love
Choose a book that you have a feeling you will love!
That’s all for now, guys, and I’d love to know if you plan on taking part in #LGBTQMonth! Comment below or tweet using the hashtag if you’ve already decided on a TBR!
I’ll have more information closer to the time, but for now, June is looking to be an exciting month ahead!

Ahh this sounds soo much fun! I will definitely try to participate!

Oh, this is a great idea. I’m not sure I can commit to a full month long readathon but I’d definitely like to try and do a couple of prompts.
Will you be posting any recommendations for books that fit the briefs?!
