October is LQBT+ history month, and what better way to celebrate than by reading LGBT+ literature! As Banned Books Week comes to an end, and LGBT+ History Month begins, it is important to recognize that many banned books are in fact banned because of LGBT+ themes and characters. So, celebrate both causes by checking out one of these books!

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde // Orlando by Virginia Woolf // And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell
