Light ‘n Easy Queer Books for the Beach!
In the northern hemisphere, we’re celebrating the first day of summer today; in the southern hemisphere, winter is kicking off. Either way, it’s a great time for some beach reads – whether you’re soaking up the sun close to home or on vacation, settling in for a stay-cation or cozying it up in some warm blankets, these beach reads all fun, low-stakes, easy to put down and pick up, and just generally a good time! And of course, they’re all some flavor of queer. The contributors to the list are: Tris Lawrence, Nina Waters, Mikki Madison, Shea Sullivan, Aubrey Winter, JD Rivers, CarCrash, Shannon, Linnea Peterson, and an anonymous contributor.
