The 2022 Pride Reading List: 72 New Books to Read All Year

"It's time for our annual celebration of Pride Month, in which we highlight some of the best new and upcoming books with LGBTQ+ authors and themes! All titles are on shelves now or will be soon, and we've sorted the list accordingly.

Bear in mind that this is necessarily an incomplete list, since queer literature is pretty much stitched into the very fabric of the mainstream these days, we're happy to say. We've kept the focus on books for adults, across multiple genres, and you'll find both established authors, exciting debut writers, and the occasional beloved celebrity. (Is that Harvey Fierstein? Yes! Yes, it is!)"
