All information is provided by publishers and authors.

Here & Queerathon 2020

22nd August 2020

Here & Queerathon is hosted by Mel @ Cotton Candy Book Witch, and you can read about their announcement here. Throughout this year, we focus on reading books with LGBTQ+ reps or by LGBTQ+ authors.

Having only just stumbled upon Mel’s blog this month, I am excited to join this reading challenge even though it is already August. Since 2020 is the ultimate queer reading year for me, discovering Here & Queerathon now is perfect.

I am keeping this as a blog post, but it will be updated throughout the rest of 2020 and listed under “Reading Challenge” if you want to follow my journey.
