Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
This week’s topic is supposed to be books with a unit of time in the title, but this turned out to be an unexpectedly difficult one for me. And since it is Pride Month and various states in the US have been working hard to pass anti-LGBTQ legislation, I think it’s a bit more fitting for me to highlight some LGBTQ books and creators instead.
- Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White
- She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker Chan
- Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore
- Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller
- Once More With Chutzpah by Haley Neil
- Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
- First Time for Everything by Henry Fry
- Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
- Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
- Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
What are some of your favorite LGBTQ books and creators?

Way to break the mold and forge your own way! 🙂 I haven’t read any of these which shows a pretty big hole in my reading awareness. I appreciate the list and will investigate some of these titles. Here’s my list if you’d like to visit: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/ttt-unit-of-time-in-title

Creative tweak of the topic. I found this a hard list to create. I guess I forgot about Midnight and Day as periods of time. Anyway, here is my list.

I found the prompt nearly impossible to find any books for, and just decided to get creative instead.

Great list – bookmarking all of these and have been meaning to read Roanhorse for so long. Hasn’t she released the sequel recently?
This is my list of books containing a unit of time in the title.

Great list. This week’s prompt was also a challenge for me, so I totally get the change of prompt. And I love the books you picked and have Black Sun and Siren Queen on my TBR this month.

Thank you! I figured it was a bit more appropriate to highlight these books anyway, since I do try to focus on more books involving the characters/authors that belong to the groups being celebrated in a certain month. I hope you enjoy Black Sun and Siren Queen – two amazing books! Enjoy your week!

I’m reading Hell Followed with Us right now and so far I’m really loving it! It has exactly the kind of body horror and apocalyptic vibes I was hoping for and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Siren Queen and She Who Became the Sun are still on my TBR as well, I hope I can get to them this month.

Ooooh, I read that one last month and it’s SO GOOD! It’s an angry, gory book, but I loved it so much. I hope you enjoy it, and I’ve also got She Who Became the Sun on my TBR this month! Enjoy your reading!
