While trying to avoid attention, Tao stumbles into an adventuring party‘s quest and builds a found family along the way. This is charming and funny, with sweet characters. A low pick because it just reads like someone‘s D&D campaign with slightly flat characters and underdeveloped side characters and elements of the story. #Fantasy #FortuneTelling #Cozy

Leo and Grim begrudgingly go on a quest together to remove a curse that binds them together. This was such an incredibly fun read! Adventure around every turn of the page. I wound up reading through the climax twice before finishing the book to take it all in again. #LGBTQIA #MusicMagic #Fantasy

I greatly enjoyed this return to the holiday worlds, this time following Kris as he tries to solve the problem of magic theft. This enemies-to-lovers romance is just as hilarious, charming, and sexy as the first book, and is definitely joining Nightmare Before Kissmas as a top favorite for the year. #LGBTQIA #Holiday #Romance

Such a good read! The characters are delightful, the trio's friendship spawns plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, and the world is very fun. Maybe it's just that I love stories with holiday worlds and magic, especially magic born from joy. This will definitely be a top read of the year for me. #LGBTQIA #Holidays

Tony does an amazing job of balancing humor and serious topics in this middle grade graphic memoir. His character introductions and friends are hilarious, and he doesn't back down from the bullying and racism he faced or the resulting mental health struggles. It was great watching him build his support network and their efforts to save the school too. Do read the content warnings. #MiddleSchool #BIPOC #Nerds

Linus and Arthur‘s family continues to grow and strengthen in the face of oppression. This was just as corny, playful, sweet, laugh-out-loud, and heartwarming as the first book. The afterward was beautiful and made me cry a bit for various reasons. #LGBTQIA #Adoption

I like volume 2 even more than volume 1! We get a deeper look into the family personalities and discover a second secret ally. I really enjoyed the horror game chapter 😂 The mom also had a lot of moments of reflection and growth as she noticed happenings in the world around her and realized ways they might impact her son. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Motherhood

Stevenson‘s yearly reflection web comic shines a lens on dysphoria, feeling like an imposter, and taking a mental health rollercoaster. I enjoyed the art style and thoughtful reflections captured here. #LGBTQIA #TransRightsReadathon

A bright queer Victorian romance featuring bicycles, botany, redemption all over the place, and hilarious side characters. I loved this book! It is always fun finding a book that I can see my own relationship reflected in. I‘m also a sucker for enemies to lovers and redemption of antagonist characters. This book also has some really well done love scenes. #LGBTQIA #VictorianRomance #Botany #Bikes

History buff and reactor Amos discovers the people who are missing or barely acknowledged from our history. In this story told through letters he writes to a trans civil war soldier, he recounts his efforts to change this. I enjoyed this middle grade read, and learned some stuff along the way, which is a great bonus. #LGBTQIA #History #CivilWar
