Reading Challenge: 20 LGBTQ+ Books in 2020@Enthralled Bookworm

I decided not to do one of the challenges I had signed up for, though I liked the Diverse prompts (many of which can be found on other challenges I will be doing), and that some were LGBTQ-themed. I decided this after coming across this one that is LGBTQ-themed and a Bingo card.


The challenge is to read 20 LGBTQ+ books this 2020 (but if we can push for more, why not? That’s even better!). It doesn’t matter if it’s a 2020 release or a book that’s been published a few years back. The main goal is to read books that feature LGBTQ+ characters and stories, and to share these with others!
I also encourage everyone to strive for a meaningful and diverse reading challenge, so go and try to read queer books with various kinds of LGBTQ+ representations in all sorts of genres you can get your hands on.
And to keep us motivated, here’s a book bingo to go with the reading challenge! (Plus a progress template!)
