96: Pride Reads 2022

96: Pride Reads 2022


It’s June, which means it’s time for our Pride reads, and to celebrate Gen and Jette dedicate Episode 96 to all things queer lit! We talk about a lot of different books in this one and realized that quite a few of our past episodes feature queer books and writers. Hell yeah!


Show Notes

Quite a few of our favourite books get mentioned in this episode and you can find the complete (as possible) list below of everything we talked about.
If you’re in Toronto, be sure to hit up Glad Day Bookshop in the Village.
Keep an eye out for Gen’s blog post this month — she’ll be giving you her Pride reading wish list.
Let us know all your favourite queer books! Comment below, DM us, tag us…we want all the recommendations!
