Some of my favorite LGBTQ fiction. Definitely not all of it — as there are so many I’ve loved that I checked out from the library or lent my copy to. Plus I limited myself to one per author, and #ownvoices so far as I know. Most of these I’ve posted about before (some over and over and over), but that’s what you get when it’s a face roundup. Have you loved any of these? What’s your favorite queer fiction? . . #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqfiction #rachelpollack #thebeatrixgates #labastarda #trifoniamelibeaobono #tentacle #ritaindiana #revenantgun #yoonhalee #jonnyappleseed #joshuawhitehead #writtenonthebody #jeanettewinterson #lifemask #emmadonaghue #michelletea #blackwave #alicewalker #thecolorpurple #coolforyou #eileenmyles https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYKn8jAuLG/?igshid=1gpovoelpiik6

Well, this is ALMOST today’s #riotgrams prompt. No time for going out for pastries today, so I made some coffee cake instead. But let me tell you about THIS BOOK. I wasn’t even sure I would read it before I had to take it back to the library (I checked out way too many books this time, plus I’m always picky about short stories), but I grabbed it on impulse last night and it is BLOWING MY MIND. When I finished a story last night I just laid my head down on the table to process for a bit and my husband was like, “Uhhhhh, are you okay?” YES. I AM OKAY. THIS BOOK IS NOT. IT IS AMAZING. . . #rachelpollack #thebeatrixgates #pmpress #lgbtqiaplus https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVJmsLAyqC/?igshid=1hx8kypfmtfd4

Yesterday I picked up these books at the library wearing my new “Planned Parenthood Stands with Whitmer” t-shirt and felt just ridiculously on brand. . . #lifeswork #lifesworkamoralargumentforchoice #drwillieparker #rachelpollack #thebeatrixgates #magicalnegro #morganparker #politicalaction #michaelwalzer #librarybooks #cadl #tbr https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDJye0gCAm/?igshid=c0hz07ecvp88
