Always books. Never boring.

This is the 34th year of the Lambda Literary Awards, which recognizes excellence in LGBTQ books in a variety of categories, including Bisexual Fiction, Lesbian Romance, Transgender Poetry, LGBTQ Studies, and much more. They are the largest LGBTQ book award, and they are usually presented in a ceremony in New York City. This year, they were announced virtually, and you can watch the two hour ceremony on YouTube.
