Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

Hey! Is anyone here trying for the bonus task (completing all tasks with LGBTQ Authors)? I’d like to give it a shot but am coming up short with possibilities. Would love some suggestions. Thanks!

I thought maybe there was a thread for this somewhere but couldn't find it. In the thread of Read Harder Challenge Plans there are two folks who said they're doing the challenge: #46 and #68 of the messages. Otherwise, in the task threads sometimes people say if their recs fits the bonus challenge or not. Good luck!

I’m not doing the bonus challenge, but these are from my list.

6. Read a play by an author of color and/or queer author - The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde

8. Read an audiobook of poetry - Dog Songs by Mary Oliver; A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver

11. Read a debut novel by a queer author - Hurricane Child by Kacen Callendar - (would also fit for task 1, or task 20)

19. Read a book by or about a refugee - The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

I am going to attempt the bonus task. I plan on finding more authors using the website https://lgbtqreads.com/ .

Here are some books (LGBTQIA authors) I have read previously, along with some I plan on reading:
All Boys Aren't Blue
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
The Tradition
George
Freshwater
They Both Die at the End
If I Was Your Girl
Upright Women Wanted
Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family

Other possible titles :

4. Read a graphic memoir : Drawn To Berlin: Comic Workshops In Refugee Shelters And Other Stories From A New Europe by Ali Fitzgerald (could also work for task 19)

14. Read a romance starring a single parent : They Say Sarah by Pauline Delabroy-Allard

20. Read a middle grade book that doesn't take place in the U.S. or the UK : The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by Selma Lagerlöf

Thanks everyone!
