Hi folks,

Pride Month is around the corner, and the fantastic Bookasaurusbex invited me once again to provide book recs (below) for her annual Prideopoly challenge! Information on how to play here: https://prideopoly.carrd.co/

Playing isn't necessary of course, you can just use this as a handy list of recs for Pride Month - there's something for everyone! The full list is below in pictures, and below that I've written it all out in text.
