This week on Reading Under the Covers, we’re bringing you the full replay of our Novel Hour Pride Month live show! ✨
We’re talking about queer books you should be reading all year, with a focus on fantasy, paranormal, and urban fantasy romance—including cozy vibes, chaotic shifter squads, slow-burn bodyguards, and soul-deep fated mates. You’ll also get fresh June 2025 new releases, what we’ve been watching lately (The Life of Chuck, Animal Kingdom), and the latest in bookish news and drama (yes, we’re talking about the Fable acquisition and Ali Hazelwood leaving social media 👀).
📚 Topics we cover:
– Queer fantasy & paranormal romance book recs
– Contemporary Pride Month reads (sapphic, trans, second chance)
– New romance book releases (June 16–22, 2025)
– What we’re watching
– Bookish industry news: Everand x Fable, BookCon 2026
– Gossip corner: Ali Hazelwood and reader behavior, Navessa Allen backlash, and more
💬 Let us know what queer romances you’ve been loving this year—and whether you’re Team Gale or Team Peeta (just don’t harass us in the comments, okay? 😅).
