Morning Mantra: "Focus on your own voice, it's the only one that matters."

You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn't lived one second of your life.

Sometimes you've got to ignore the critics, just listen to yourself, and be okay with no one else understanding.

You have all this useful knowledge and wisdom within you, it's time to start implementing them into your own life.

Alright, if you're looking for something queer to read this pride month, here is my list of LGBT+ book recommendations:

The Masterpieces:

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen

(These are so good! Please read them! They are as close to perfect as it is humanly possible to get. I'm serious. If you only read one book this month, make it one of these! I promise they're not boring or depressing like a lot of books that are considered works of art.)

The Good:

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour

Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World by Ashley Herring Blake

The Mighty Heart of Sunny St James by Ashley Herring Blake

P.S. I Miss You by Jen Pedro-Roy

Liquor by Poppy Z. Brite

Gives Light by Rose Christo

The Marvels by Brian Selznick

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

The Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak

The Sky Blues by Robbie Couch

(These don't have the combination of artistry and perfection that make them a masterpiece, but are still very, very good and well worth your time.)

The If you Haven't Read These by Now, You Must Have Chosen Not to, but I Still Feel Compelled to Mention Them:

Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

(Yes, I already know about these. You already know about these. Almost everyone already knows about these. There's a reason for that and the reason is they're very good.)

The Just Plain Fun:

Camp by L.C. Rosen

Check, Please by Ngozi Ukazu

Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson et al.

Fence by C.S. Pacat

Death Prefers Blondes by Caleb Roehrig

Spellbound by Allie Therin

Any book by Cat Sebastian

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

Point of Hopes by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett

The Rules and Regulations for Mediating Myths & Magic by F.T. Lukens

Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth

Super Adjacent by Crystal Cestari

(These are all just fun reads.)

The Audiobooks:

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, narrated by Joe Jameson

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales, narrated by Mark Sanderlin

The Ballad of Ami Miles by Kristy Dallas Alley, narrated by Brittni Pope

(Yes, I did create this whole section just to talk about Joe Jameson and the Boyfriend Material Audiobook. Even if you read the book and didn't care for it, you should still listen to the audiobook because wow.)

I promise all of these end happily and nothing too bad happens to any queer people because I haven't had the mental or emotional energy to deal with downer books for years now. If you have your own pride month recs, feel free to add them.

Don’t ever put your happiness in someone else’s hands. They’ll drop it.

Have you tried Christopher Barzak? Never read it myself but my friend says it's good

I had to double check this to make sure it wasn’t a “can you smell updog” situation

Alas it isn’t and this is genuine! No I haven’t can your friend recommend a good book of his?
