I am Bek (they/them) and in the video, I'm looking at stats from last year and thinking about goals and reading for this year. After editing, I realized I had a book that wasn't logged -- She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya, which was great.
If you say anything about the ridiculous journey my hair went on in this video, you're homophobic š (that's... mostly a joke)

Im Bek (they/them) and here are (actually a few more than) 26 LGBT+ book recommendations. I have suggestions from across genres - memoir, YA lit, middle grade, graphic novels, history, social sciences, self-help and more! Pride month is fast approaching, so now is a great time to find more queer books for your TBR! I had a hard time not making this video super long because I have a lot to say about all of these books.

I am Bek (they/them) and in this video, I am recommending some poetry written by queer people. Poetry can show us things about peoples experiences in a way that other mediums dont. Pride month is the perfect time to learn about about diverse queer experiences, so try some poetry!

Im Bek (they/them) and in this vlog, I focus on reading books that I checked out from the library. I read from several genres including sci-fi, graphic nonfiction, poetry, and more.
