In Episode 204 of Book Talk, Etc., Tina and Hannah dive into queer genre fiction! We discuss what we love about genre fiction that explores LGBTQ+ themes and characters, why these stories matter, and the importance of making them widely available for all readers.
If you prefer other shopping options, you can find today’s books on Bookshop.org or Blackwell's. Purchasing through these links supports us with a small commission, at no extra cost to you.
