Overview

While it is highly celebrated in June, the Queer community exists all year long and this challenge is created to support/encourage others to read more literature written by & represented people within said community. The goal is read 12 books [at least 1 per month] fiction or non-fiction, written by queer authors about life, love, and everything else.
