HAPPY PRIDE 2025! For Pride this year, we’re changing up our usual rec lists. Instead of doing books with specific identities or themes, we’re focused this time on cover color! Throughout the month of June, we’ll be doing 8 rec lists, each with covers inspired by one of the colors of the original Gilbert Baker Pride Flag. We drew a little additional inspiration from the meaning behind the color and why it was included in the original LGBTQIA+ flag (in this case, red = life), but we prioritized color over meaning. The contributors to this list are: Sanne, Neo Scarlett, boneturtle, Nina Waters, Shannon, Shadaras, Tris Lawrence, Linnea Peterson, Owl Outerbridge, Shea Sullivan and 2 anonymous contributors.
