Batty.About.Books' Queer Book Recs for UnCover's Pride Month Challenge 🌈

Good afternoon, book lovers and bookish bats! I'm so incredibly excited to share this with you today, the first day of Pride Month! As someone who constantly creates book lists (and loves a visual), Uncover is my go-to bookish app. This year, they're hosting their first Pride Month reading challenge! The categories include (drum roll please!): 🌈

Queer Non-Fiction Books ❤️ Bisexual or Pansexual MCs 🧡 Queer Coming of Age Books 💛 Gay / Achillian Books 💚 Queer Horror 💙 Trans or Nonbinary MCs 💜 Lesbian / Sapphic Books 💛 Queer Awakening Books 🧡 Asexual or Aromantic MCs ❤️

Want to challenge yourself to read more queer books this Pride Month? Download Uncover from your app store (it's available on Android and Apple devices), create your account, and start reading! Any queer books you read that fit the above categories will automatically appear on Pride Month board. Challenge yourself to read a book within every category! 🌈

While you're at it, make sure to find me @battyaboutbooks. You can find all my book guides on Uncover (where they're updated every month!). 🦇

I've also included two bonus categories for my book lovers and bookish bats who strive to read queer all year! These include: Queer Graphic Novels 🌈 Coming Out Stories 🌈

What are you planning to read for Pride Month this year? ❓ Are you joining any reading challenges (and will you join me in completing the Uncover app Pride Month Challenge)? ❓

Stash!!!!!

I found these in my stash (looking for something else ofc) and immediately wanted to do a Luminous Nine Patch.

Now, now listen.

I know I seem to be making a few of these.

But they turn out gorgeous! How could I not make them?? They’re so easy and fun to do.

Look at this thing! I love her! She’s gorgeous!

She’s bold and dramatic and demands attention!

I think this one is one of the best Luminous Nine Patch quilts I’ve done.

I was correct. The black cuddle and binding are just fab with this.

I did actually find a more golden yellow thread called Dessert Sunset that I used instead of orange to quilt with, and I love it.

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
