I visited @chaptersscarborough with a friend yesterday, and I was so happy to see that they had #LGBTQIA book displays in both the picture book section and in the YA fiction section even though Pride Month is over. LGBTQIA books should be visible and accessible all year long. I would have liked to see more lesbian and trans books in the YA section since we are usually underrepresented but overall it was fantastic to see. @chaptersindigo you did a good thing. @robinstevensonwrites your book Pride was faceout! The LGBTQIA books featured were: Kidlit: -It Feels GoodTo Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity by Theresa Thorn and Noah Grigni -Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall -Pride: Celebrating Diversity & Community by Robin Stevenson -Maiden & Princess by Daniel Haack & Isabel Galupto, ill. by Becca Human -Worm Loves Worm by J. J. Austrian and Mike Curato -Our Rainbow -A Tale Of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager and Kristen Blackwood -Queer Heroes: Meet 53 LGBTQ Heroes From Past and Present by Arabelle Sicardi and Sarah Tanat-Jones -And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, ill. by Henry Cole YA Books: -Simon VS. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli -This Book Is Gay by Juno Dawson and David Levithan -Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour -What If It's Us by Becky Albertalki and Adam Silvera -More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera -The Inexplicable Logic Of My Life by Benjamin Alire Saenz #lgbtqiabooks #yalgbtq #lgbtqiaYA #lgbtqkidlit #yabookrecommendations #yabookrecs #bookrecs #weneeddiversebooks #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tLF0IAyWA/?igshid=15yd1hq54opii

"Somebody... should have told us that not many people have ever died of love. But multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour... for the lack of it." - James Baldwin #pridemonth #pride2017 #lgbtq #yalgbtq #indiebookstore

Because You'll Never Meet Me was recommended to me by lovely @writeronwheels_ and it did not disappoint! Ollie is allergic to electricity, which sets off his seizures, and so lives in a cabin in the woods. Moritz, born with no eyes, sees the world through echolocation but remains alone. Brought together as pen pals, the two boys push their boundaries and investigate the mysterious laboratory that ties them together. More scifi than it appears but is ever so subtle about it. The #prisma app is amazing fun. #bookseller #bookdragon #bookworm #igreads #whatimreading #instabook #bookstagram #youngadultfiction #yalove #youngadult #lgbtq #YAlgbtq #goodreads #book #books #booknerdigans #bookblogger #booknerd
