This past Monday, we amped up our LGBTQ Pride Month coverage by launching #QueerABook on Twitter. We asked our readers to parody titles of well-known books that could use a little rainbow glitter. We hope the game will encourage people to think about how much space there is in the literary canon, and in publishing today, for queer and trans stories.
We wanted to share some of our favorites with you. #QueerABook is still going, so don't be shy! Share your title--just use the hashtag #QueerABook!
Here are a few of our favorites so far:
