Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018!
I’ll be completely honest with you, when I read the T10T prompt I was immediately like “Oh, lgbtqiap+ recommendations” and I aimed to provide! To make this an actual T10T with ten book recommendations, I added black, grey, and white to the seven colors of the rainbow! Pride truly never ends here on meltotheany, and I hope you enjoy! 🌈

Okay, friends! I hope you enjoyed this week’s prompt! I truly feel like these ten books cover so many identities on the queer spectrum, too! But please check out my full reviews for these stories to see all the different representations! I hope you’re all having an amazing start to August, and I love you all so very much! Happy reading! 💗

Hey, nice idea! 🙂 All these different ‘multi-colored’ prompts make me think GLBTQ+ too.

Hi, Leaf! Saw your comment and thought I’d leave two recs. If you don’t mind self-published works, I recommend Breaking Legacies by Zoe Reed, and The Chronicles of Dorsa (book 3 of the trilogy is not out yet) by Eliza Andrews. 🙂

Yes, I wanted to do this when I saw the topic but then I just ended up finding books with a color in the title and I decided to write a post on all the LGBTQIAP+ books later. ANYWAY, I didn’t love Of Fire and Stars so I’m a bit hesitant to pick up Inkmistress. I keep seeing people recommending The Gilded Wolves so I might need to read it.
