And behold! To mark this annual celebration, we’ve gathered together a collection of brand-new LGBTQ+ fiction, nonfiction, and YA books. All of the titles here are fresh, published (in the U.S.) from the beginning of January through early June of this year.

There’s a lot to love, as you will quickly see. A new novel from acclaimed author Ocean Vuong is, of course, always an event. As is a new romance from Jasmine Guillory.

But we’ve also got extremely buzzy debut novels, candid athlete memoirs, generous speculative fiction anthologies, Dutch gothic horror, medieval YA romantasy, and some contemporary fiction featuring comas and sushi. Plus: a truly fascinating scientific inquiry concerning—and we quote—The Abounding Queerness of Nature.
