Part 2! As many of you know, I've been working on creating a masterlist of LGBTQIA+ books where you can filter by genre, representation, relationship, target age group, and more.

❤️ Several of the books on this list are self-published or do not get a lot of recognition, so I thought, what better way to share than use a random number generator to grab 3 books at a time and share them with all of you!

💛 For right now I am focusing on the first in a series or books that can be read as standalones. I also try to skip over any that might be blatantly harmful.

💚 So what do you think? Think you will be adding any of these books to your TBR?
