Rainbow Reading: The Lammys

by Heather

The Lambda Literary Awards were held in New York this past Monday, June 1st.   Lambda's Mission Statement is:

Lambda Literary believes Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer literature is fundamental to the preservation of our culture, and that LGBTQ lives are affirmed when our stories are written, published and read.

I completely missed the date and I still can't believe I didn't realize they were occurring so soon. I'm not one for most award shows like the Oscars or Grammys but I love the Lammy Awards. I normally try to read all nominees in several of the categories. I will say in the few years I have been doing this, I have never been disappointed in the nominated books. Since I didn't get a chance to read all of them this year, I'm taking the opportunity to create a great reading list for Pride month. If you are interested in any type of LGBTQ books, click here to get a list of the best of the best. 

I anticipate some of these books will make it to Rainbow Reading book reviews, so stay tuned!
