Same as last year: Queer Pride is this month, so we’ll be doing something queer-related, but will add an additional prompt:
Theme: queer + rainbow
Read and review anything that’s a book – novels, comics, mangas, graphic novels, poem collections, scripts, short stories, zines, et cetera. (Audiobooks count too, of course!).
How to take part
- Write a review of a/multiple book/s that have either option on the cover:
- Image: all colors from the rainbow (make sure to turn your colors on or check out the cover on its official website/shop, if you’re reading on an ebook or device with a color filter)
- Font: rainbow-like letters/symbols (open for interpretation)
- Post the review here on Pending Plays. (New here? Check out this page: https://pendingplays.co.uk/register-to-review/)
- Add the tag BookGuildJune2026 to your post
Rules
- Read the book in June (it can be a volume from a series you’re currently reading, but shouldn’t be a re-read).
- The contents don’t matter – can be any genre, any theme, etc.
- Timeframe to read and review: 1st June to 5th July 2026 (deadline extended because I uploaded the info post so late)
- (If you happen to be busy, don’t worry about posting your review after the timeframe! We’re not that strict here.)
Please join our Discord and get the Book Guild role, to not miss out on any announcements or other info! You can also add your read book to our reading challenge on StoryGraph.
Looking forward to your reviews!
