I will admit: I love a rainbow. Rainbow arrangements of objects, rainbow flags, and sure, even the real thing. It’s a good thing I’m queer af, so I can happily array myself with rainbows without appropriation. So of course, combining rainbows with books is also going to be a success for me.

During Pride month, I love seeing all the Pride-themed rainbow stacks of books get posted. Pro tip, though: please don’t make rainbow stacks of cis/straight/allo books during Pride. This is a great opportunity to promote LGBTQIA+ authors, not the authors that get the spotlight the rest of the year. Luckily, I’ve already seen a ton of great ones, and I wanted to share them!

From the classic rainbow:

There are stacks that reach for the ceiling:

And some like to spread out:

And, of course, the rainbow isn’t the only flag flown this month! Here’s a bi pride version!

Have you seen any rainbow Pride stacks that I missed? I hope to see more throughout the month! And to build my own. Happy queer reading!
