Audiobooks for Pride Month
Huzzah! It’s June!
Here at Audiobook Accomplice we’re embracing all initials and calling this wonderful month Pride Month. It’s a month where contributions, achievements, and diversity are celebrated. It’s a time to tear down walls, fight prejudice and discrimination, and honor those who have added to our rich world history with their creative endeavors.
Every week we’ll be adding a book or two to our Library of audiobooks written by, narrated by, or about the LGBTQIA Community.
Have a suggestion? Shoot me an email at Gillian@AudiobookAccomplice.com, and I’ll get right on to listening to it and making it a fine addition!
Don’t forget to like the reviews that feed your addiction.
