A Few Essential Reads for Pride Month (and beyond)
June is Pride Month — a time for celebration, reflection, and amplifying LGBTQ+ voices. As a literary content creator who spends much of life between the pages of fiction, I always look forward to curating a reading list that honours the richness, complexity, and joy of queer storytelling. Whether you're in the mood for tender romance, biting satire, intimate memoir, or powerful literary fiction, this list hopes to offer something for every reader.
These are the books I’m recommending for this Pride Month — stories that have moved me, challenged me, and reminded me of the importance of representation on the page.

Whether you’re diving into these stories as a way to celebrate your own identity, broaden your perspective, or simply discover great writing, I hope this list offers something that resonates with you. Pride Month is a joyful time to honour queer voices past and present, to reflect on the power of storytelling, and to continue championing books that challenge, affirm, and inspire.
Happy reading—and happy Pride!
