LGBTQIA Authors and Books Read

Another category I like to count is books written by LGBTQIA authors, or that feature those themes. There are many more than the 18 books in this category I have read, and when I create this list, I make sure that the themes are obviously there, that they are positive, and that an author has their identity around being LGBTQIA in their biography or mentioned somewhere. The anthologies were edited by, and featured LGBTQIA authors. And all were Australian, as reading Australian in general is my focus every year.

I write roundups that are broad and focused, and split them into men, women, Australian, non-Australian, children’s, young adult, adult, LGBTQIA, Disabled and co-authored books. There is also a post with everything and a summary at the end. So if people want to look at something in particular, they can.
