Pride Month TBRs

1 June, 2020

As a special Pride Month celebration, me and Anna decided that this year we were going to pick each other’s TBRs. Now, both of us are notoriously bad at actually keeping to TBRs, so this could go absolutely terribly, who knows!

We each picked 5 fiction (or poetry) books and one nonfiction book that we thought the other might like (or hoped). So check back in July to see how we got on!

(Oh, and keep following, because we have some exciting things for you this month!)

Anna’s TBR

Picture Us in the Light by Kelly Loy Gilbert
King and the Dragonflies by Kacen Callender
Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust

Autopsy by Donte Collins
Don’t Call Us Dead by Danez Smith
Immodest Acts by Judith C. Brown

Charlotte’s TBR

Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden
Goldie Vance: The Hotel Whodunnit by Lilliam Rivera
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

A Study in Honor by Claire O’Dell
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Homosexuality in Renaissance England by Alan Bray

Since you’re here, please consider doing any number of the following to support Black Lives Matter, and the protests regarding police brutality in the USA.

Donate to bail funds and supplies for protestors, gofundmes of victims of police violence, mutual aid organisations and Black-owned businesses impacted by the violence.

You can donate even if you have no funds by watching videos where all ad revenue will go towards the BLM movement.

Sign petitions.

Get in contact with mayors and district attorneys, and maintain pressure on them.

Educate yourself further through the resources found on the carrd and others.

Pride was initiated following riots against police violence and raids, and those at Stonewall Inn were led by trans and lesbian women of colour, many of whom were Black. We owe them our support.
