Here at The Flying Pig Bookstore we are huge believers in reading q***r all year! Stories by LGBTQIA+ authors give readers a space to feel seen and to educate others on experiences different from their own.

We are taking June to highlight those stories but regardless of the month our shelves are always stocked with diverse stories and authors❤️

In this post you will see some of our staff’s favorite LGBTQIA+ stories as well as additional books currently on our shelf waiting for their next reader!

We see you, we will continue to advocate for you, and you are always welcome to show up as your true self at The Flying Pig🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏼🐷🪽

✨New Release Tuesday with Louise Penny & Mellissa Fung✨

Book Description:
A mother and a daughter race against time in this all-too-real thriller that reaches from Tiananmen Square all the way to the White House.

Alice Li, a first-generation Chinese American and former food blogger, has long lived in the shadow of her mother, Vivien Li— a Tiananmen Square dissident turned world-renowned human rights activist and passionate advocate for a free and democratic China.

When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, Vivien and Alice are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can interpret the Chinese intentions. But why involve Alice?

If China isn’t behind the attack, Vivien warns, someone even more dangerous is pulling the strings. Mother and daughter must join together to overcome their estrangement if they have any hope of preventing global catastrophe. From DC to Ohio to Hong Kong, they work to prevent the next attack, along the way decoding an ancient legend and uncovering a secret language invented by women, for women.

The Last Mandarin is an electrifying study of absolute power and voracious greed, political terror and personal conviction. But it is also an intimate examination of choice, of sacrifice, of memory and myths, both cultural and personal. It is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family. And what happens when both break down.
