As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I have a habit of reading far too many books at once, and have developed "themed" reading months for myself to help keep my focus (for instance I usually read one Stephen King novel a year, and only in October).

This year I found myself really wanting to dedicate my month of reading to the LGBTQIA+ community. Both educational and informative reads, and books written by LGBTQIA+ authors. I've been all over the place in my exploration of the Fediverse so I wrote a quick lil article over here on a WriteFreely instance.

I also imported my goodreads reading lists here on bookwyrm. Right now I'm about two thirds of the way through Fever by Jonathon Bazzi. I'll probably dive into The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo next. It's a retelling of The Great Gatsby from a queer/female point of view. I peaked in at the first few chapters and am already in love.

What other pride books would you recommend? I'm going to try and do this every June so I'd like to build out an impossibly long backlog of books to read if at all possible.

Just finished The Indifferent Stars Above and previously enjoyed Endurance. I thought the pace and level of detail for both were a good balance between informative and approachable. Any recommendations for other similar historical disasters?
