Our top 10 q***r books for 2025 ๐Ÿ“š

This was a tough list to put together, there were so many wonderful books to enjoy. Every one of these really stayed with us long after finishing them - the yearning and obsession of first love, the downright creepy and the exploration of the legacy of WWII.

Itโ€™s such a joy to continue to champion these q***r stories and authors.

Did any of these make it into your top books for the year? Let us know ๐Ÿ‘‡

It was so much fun contributing to this bookish gift guide. ๐Ÿ‘‡
