Book Releases: Contemporary (July to December 2022)

The end of June means a fresh lot of releases posts! You know the drill so far, I assume. We update each post with LGBT releases in each genre every month, and then, when we find more, we can come back and do so again! It’s a win for everyone I’m sure.

In this post, you’ll find the collection of contemporary books that we know about from July to December of 2022!
