Celebrate Pride With Queer Rainbow Book Stacks!
I will admit: I love a rainbow. Rainbow arrangements of objects, rainbow flags, and sure, even the real thing. It’s a good thing I’m queer af, so I can happily array myself with rainbows without appropriation. So of course, combining rainbows with books is also going to be a success for me.
During Pride month, I love seeing all the Pride-themed rainbow stacks of books get posted. Pro tip, though: please don’t make rainbow stacks of cis/straight/allo books during Pride. This is a great opportunity to promote LGBTQIA+ authors, not the authors that get the spotlight the rest of the year. Luckily, I’ve already seen a ton of great ones, and I wanted to share them!
From the classic rainbow:
