Hello book nerds! It is time! Our year-long queer reading challenge will be back for 2025!

This will be my fifth year doing this reading challenge and I’m always just so happy that I get to share with other readers. The goal, as always: read books focusing on LGBTQ+ characters and stories. New releases, upcoming releases, backlist titles, fiction, nonfiction—these are all okay as long as they feature queer main characters/cast and fit our prompts!

Of course, there’s a book bingo and review template waiting for you! For the prompts this year, there’s a bit more focus on new themes and topics (Robots and mechas, anyone?). Different prompts for authors of color are still here! (“SWANA” in the SWANA Author prompt refers to Southwest Asia and North Africa).

Feel free to download the bingo cards! Mark them for progress and share them on your platforms. And of course, go ahead and tag me on your Instagram stories! 
 

Use the review/progress template to share and recommend your recent reads. I also appreciate you sharing photos and reviews on bookstagram! Use the hashtag #ReadQueerly2025!

This challenge is now live on StoryGraph! You can now join here and add your books to the prompts. We officially start on January 1, 2025!

This challenge was created to help me read more diversely and queerly—so I can learn, and feature more LGBTQ+ authors and stories that deserve all the love. Now other readers have joined, and I hope we continue this goal for another year!
