Queer Books for Pride – 2025 Edition

What better way to celebrate Pride for readers than sharing a book a day that features queers?

This year’s #queerBooksForPride has 30 books, mostly but not exclusively scifi/ fantasy because that’s my jam, that either include a queer protagonist, strong queer secondary character, or where queers are just a natural, accepted part of the world — because that’s the world that I want to live in.

This is the third year I’ve done this. And because each year includes new books there are more available at:

I hope you find something that makes you laugh, maybe something that makes you cry, but most importantly something that makes you feel loved, included, and seen.

Happy Pride! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
