Square gray image with various types and pieces of paper stacked on top of one another. The piece on top has a black Bywater Books logo, and it reads: Queer stories are how we breathe. Never stop creating. Never stop reading.
“We die.
That may be the meaning of life.
But we do language.
That may be the measure of our lives.”
—Toni Morrison

Reading the books you choose is a sacred right, so don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot read.
#PrideMonthSky #LGBTQBookSky #SapphicBookSky #FightCensorship #BooksNotBans #WeAreAllStories
