This week we revisit two of our favorite LGBTQIA+ books of the year so far. These books were so good we could not wait to start the sequel. So we did. One is a sapphic YA magical adventure that ended on the cliffhanger-est cliffhanger ever, so of course we had to pick up the conclusion. The other is the most heartwarming and comforting novella we've maybe ever read. It's about a charming non-binary monk and their robot companion, and we needed more of this delightful story so much in these troubled times.
