Hello and welcome back to Diversishelf! A slightly smaller issue this time than previous weeks, but still plenty of titles to add to your TBRs.
Also a reminder that we’re still reading Before We Were Trans by Dr Kit Heyam for the Diversishelf non-fiction book club. It’s the perfect informative read for pride month and we’d love it if you joined our readalong on Storygraph.
Some of these books contain sensitive themes. Please check content warnings before purchasing and reading these titles.
We use affiliate links. This means that if you buy a book through a link we provide, we may earn a commission from Bookshop.org, whose fees support independent bookstores. This allows us to keep Diversishelf free at no cost to you, while still generating some revenue.
