A Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School
Funny, full of heart, and extremely applicable to our current times, 16-year-old Yami juggles being one of the only Mexican kids at her new Catholic school, making her mother proud, and not falling for the only openly q***r kid at school. (Who is annoyingly perfect. And cute. And smart.) This book will have you laughing, crying, and feeling all the warm fuzzies as Yami discovers she may have more people in her corner than she thought.

We Could Be So Good
An achingly lovely historical romance that captures the true feeling of q***r love and joy despite existing in a society that shuns it. This book feels accurate to the time without letting trauma or extreme homophobia darken the story.

An Entanglement of Rival Wizards
Magical academic rivals are awarded a research grant under one condition: they work together. What ensues is competitive banter and flirting, along with trauma healing, q***r characters whose struggles aren’t just about them being q***r, AND healthy communication in a fantasy novel.

Trans History
An accessible and influential graphic novel history of trans rights and individuals from ancient times to the present day—because trans people have always existed. Written to appeal to both teen and adult audiences.

Hymn to Dionysus
Song of Achilles’ older, more tired gay dad. Phaidros, a Thebian knight who puts duty above all else including himself, is thrust into the chaotic love of the god Dionysus who strives to teach him how to be human again. Filled with political intrigue, heartbreakingly loveable characters, and hilarious dark humor; this book will forever take up space in your brain.

Beth Howard’s “Song for a Hard-Hit People” is her excavation of the past—her own as an Appalachian organizer and her rural Kentucky people’s—meant to spark a collective fight for a future where we all have what we need and deserve.

And how lucky are we to have Beth joining us for a virtual conversation on Friday, May 29 about her book, her work with Showing Up for Racial Justice, and her “Working Class Love Notes” Substack?!

Head to the link in our bio for tickets. As Beth reminds us in her book, “we haven’t got a chance—unless we organize.”
