🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our pride month book lists! Every June, we put together book lists as an extra pride treat. 🧵 📷: Thank you to @thebookoffaerie.bsky.social for the cover photo featuring our special edition of The Curse of the Goddess by C.C. González!

A photo of The Curse of the Goddess by C.C. González. The book sits in the central focus point of the photo on a wood slice. To the left are green leaves and white, blue and yellow flowers. The background under the wood is white, blue and golden fabrics. Three white dotted lines travel across the photo dipping under the book. Text on the photo says “Fifty BIPOC queer books to read for Pride” in white font with a black outline.

Some people think getting your books banned is a badge of honor, but it’s not. As I told Ms. Mag: “It’s not a badge of honor to have my creative work denigrated as obscene, especially when that work is about queer people and people of color. It’s offensive to have my work mischaracterized this way.”

Shown is the cover of Bachelorette Number 12 by Jae--a doctor and a nurse in scrubs, with their backs to each other--surrounded by arrows and the words: ice queen, medical romance, infamous Twinkie scene, opposites-attract, enemies to lovers, and the most lesbian date ever.
