Books have shaped history, and the LGBTQIA+ community is no exception.
Through reading, we find pieces of ourselves reflected back—or maybe even discover new parts we didn’t know were there.
The list of books could go on forever, and honestly, narrowing it down is tough…but not too tough for RizzBio to handle!

So many books, so little time ~ Learn how to choose wisely!
When picking books for this prompt, keep in mind three things:
- Only choose books you have actually read. You don’t want to get caught not knowing the plot—awkward! LOL.
- Go for a book that really resonates with you or one you genuinely enjoyed. This might come up in convo, and you’ll want to have a solid reason for your choice, right?
- Don’t pick books just to impress. Go for something simple (even if it’s an unpopular one!) if that’s what you genuinely feel like.
