Challenge Month 2021Hi everyone! Just that fast we are already starting our third week of reading challenges in our 7th Annual Reading Challenge Month! Amazing how fast this month flies! This week our challenge is Under the Rainbow Week. This week is all about reading books under the LGBTQIA umbrella. I know with so many books out there, it is easy to focus mostly on ones featuring gay/bi, cis-gendered, allosexual men. But there is a whole range of stories that make for wonderful romances, so the goal this week is to find a pairing, gender, or sexual identity that may be a little different from what you usually read. If you are looking for some ideas, check out some of our reviews featuring characters who are lesbiannonbinaryasexualtransgendergenderfluiddemisexual, or that feature MMF pairings.

If you missed the lead up to the event and need some information about what is going on, check out our Kick Off post. It has all the details about the event, how to get involved, and how to win prizes.

Under the Rainbow Week is sponsored by the fabulous folks at Carina Press! Carina is giving away a fabulous book bundle of paperbacks (U.S. and International):

  • SAILOR PROOF by Annabeth Albert (Carina Adores; Shore Leave, #1)
  • FOR THE LOVE OF APRIL FRENCH by Penny Aimes (Carina Adores)
  • BETTER THAN PEOPLE by Roan Parrish (Carina Adores; Garnet Run, #1)
  • AMERICAN DREAMER by Adriana Herrera (Carina Press; Dreamers, #1)

This is a great book bundle with some fabulous authors. And don’t forget, at the end of the month we will be drawing for our Grand Prize sponsored by NineStar Press.
