Batty.About.Books' Queer Book Recs for UnCover's Pride Month Challenge 🌈

Good afternoon, book lovers and bookish bats! I'm so incredibly excited to share this with you today, the first day of Pride Month! As someone who constantly creates book lists (and loves a visual), Uncover is my go-to bookish app. This year, they're hosting their first Pride Month reading challenge! The categories include (drum roll please!): 🌈

Queer Non-Fiction Books ❤️ Bisexual or Pansexual MCs 🧡 Queer Coming of Age Books 💛 Gay / Achillian Books 💚 Queer Horror 💙 Trans or Nonbinary MCs 💜 Lesbian / Sapphic Books 💛 Queer Awakening Books 🧡 Asexual or Aromantic MCs ❤️

Want to challenge yourself to read more queer books this Pride Month? Download Uncover from your app store (it's available on Android and Apple devices), create your account, and start reading! Any queer books you read that fit the above categories will automatically appear on Pride Month board. Challenge yourself to read a book within every category! 🌈

While you're at it, make sure to find me @battyaboutbooks. You can find all my book guides on Uncover (where they're updated every month!). 🦇

I've also included two bonus categories for my book lovers and bookish bats who strive to read queer all year! These include: Queer Graphic Novels 🌈 Coming Out Stories 🌈

What are you planning to read for Pride Month this year? ❓ Are you joining any reading challenges (and will you join me in completing the Uncover app Pride Month Challenge)? ❓

PS: I need your help! More queer content creators are getting suppressed (many of my monthly queer guides don't appear in the tags). PLEASE help by sharing this post! I would really appreciate it! Happy Pride Month, my loves. 💜

Droodles by Roger Price (from his 1953 book). Droodles (a blend of “doodle”, “drawing”, “riddle”) are simple drawings with a witty, often absurd, caption. The first one, as some of you may know, was used by Frank Zappa for his 1982 album, Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch. (Zappa, a fan of Price's work, lived just a few miles from the artist and personally sought permission to use the image.)

These come from the 1972 edition of the book.

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

[scienceoftheidiot]

They existed *before beetles*

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.
