Celebrate and learn a little about the LGBTQ+ community with Joshua and Brittney! We start with a very brief history of Stonewall, jump into books with Queer characters, and end with a game that involves movie quotes!
** TRIGGER WARNING: One of the books we discuss talks about sexual assault. It is not graphic, but if you would like to skip it, it starts at about 42:40 and ends at about 47:40.
Brittney's picks:
Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu
Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan
Joshua's picks:
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
