The first Pride was a riot, after all🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Pride month is always a great excuse to highlight some of our staff favorites and bestsellers, and every year it includes more and more banned books. In 2026 q***r stories, q***r voices, and q***r people are being increasingly oppressed. It’s a tale as old as time, and it has no place in an indie bookshop. To our q***r staff, customers, vendors, and community members: We see you. We love you. Every month.

Our rotating section this month features as many of our favorite LGBTQ+ books as we can fit, and we will continue swapping them all month long. We pulled books from an array of genres, reaffirming that q***r stories and authors belong in every section.
