30 Days of Pride was a blog series hosted by Ben Ace and Taylor Tracy throughout June 2019 to spotlight queer pride within the bookish community and bring uplifting content each day in June between our two blogs. We welcomed readers, reviewers, authors, and other guests onto our blogs to talk about what pride means to them through short essays, poetry, interviews, and more.
