Recs if you like Here for It; Or, How to Save Your Soul in America: Essays...

May 16th is National Biographer's Day, commemorating the work of people who write about... people! We've picked out a whole pile of our favorite biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs by and about queer folks to celebrate the occasion. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Not only is April 1st a Fool's Day, it's also Reading is Funny day, so we put together a list of our favorite queer stories that made us laugh! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

I wish I had a list like this growing up. So here is a list of books that are queer or otherwise include queer rep, but don’t have a same sex couple on the cover. Let’s help people explore without feeling they have to hide it. This list is for readers of all ages. You’re never too old to explore 😉 If it’s a series, only the first book is listed. Feel free to comment suggestions!

These books are chosen for “Read with Jenna” by Jenna Bush Hager.
