Pride badges aren't just for June—we’re reading queer stories all year with a list of six unforgettable books that span sapphic horror, family drama, epic myths, and more. Here’s what’s on the docket:

Bone of My Bone by Johanna van Veen delivers sapphic folk horror set in 1635 Bavaria, where two women embark on a haunting journey of survival, devotion, and desire.

A powerful family drama about legacy, home, and what we fight to protect. Long After We Are Gone by Terah Shelton Harris follows a family fighting to preserve their ancestral land—and the bonds that hold them together.

Rosie Hewlett’s Sweetbitter Song takes us to ancient Ithaca for a mythic, moving story of two women caught in the shadows of war, bound by sisterhood, survival, and a forbidden love that could cost them everything.

A little spooky, a little tender, and full of heart. The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy details the kind of romance that proves the past doesn’t have to keep haunting your future.

A royal romance with serious sparkle. The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert brings the swoon with a whirlwind fake engagement, an overwhelmed prince, and a heroine who refuses to be anything less than herself (this is a MF romance book with a bi MMC).

Summer camp has never been this chaotic. A Murder Most Camp by Nicolas DiDomizio dives into rustic cabins, a painfully hot lifeguard, and one very inconvenient murder mystery.
