So, as we are at the halfway point of this year, I thought this was the perfect time to share as bonus content as a list of my lists of LGBTQ books released from January to June. Incredibly, there are over 650 titles in the first half of 2025! This is not a complete list. I’ve tried to be careful of all the biggest releases that have traditionally been published, but it’s always possible that I’ve missed some, especially if the odd expressions are not mentioned in the description. Self-published books are difficult. There are so many things every day, so it’s impossible to include all of them, so I tend to include places that recognize the author…or I really like the cover. This means that over 600 LGBTQ books have been published so far this year, but this is a choice.

Feel free to make copies to sort or filter by genre or expression. In some cases, I knew that there were some odd content from early reviews, but I didn’t know about the exact kind of expression. These are lines with question marks in the “Identity” category.
