What may turn out to be an even brighter bright side of the year than normal, tons of LGBTQ books to read during downtime are on the horizon for 2020.
All of these titles are or will be available wherever books are sold, but please give special consideration to your independent bookstores and retailers during these uncertain economic times for small business.
