even more queer indie and self-published books to read during pride month ; part two

Considering how unexpectedly popular the first list turned out to be, I decided to make a part two. There are so many indie and self-published queer books after all, that not even two lists would be enough for all of them…

If I know what specific representation is in the book, I will mention it. If I can’t find anything, just remember that every book in this list is still queer in some way.
