The 3rd Annual LGBTQIA+ Book Blast is officially almost here!
Friends.
THE BOOKS ARE LISTED. (LINKS AT THE BOTTOM)
The 3rd Annual LGBTQIA+ Book Blast officially takes place August 26, 2026, but because apparently some books cannot be contained by a calendar, a few of this year’s deals are already live! 📚✨
And this year feels extra special.
Not only are we celebrating three years of the Book Blast, but August 26 also happens to be Moxie’s 50th birthday.
So naturally, the only reasonable way to celebrate turning 50 was to gather an enormous pile of amazing LGBTQIA+ books and invite everybody to go book shopping.
Obviously.
This year’s Book Blast has THREE price tiers!
Every participating title will be available at one of these special promotional prices:
FREE
$0.99
$1.99
That means you can fill your Kindle, Kobo, reading app, tablet, phone, and possibly your entire emotional support TBR without doing catastrophic things to your bank account.
🚨 One very important thing before you buy:
Please make sure the book has actually been discounted before you click the “Buy Now” button.
Authors and retailers are working across different platforms, time zones, and systems, and sometimes those sale prices take a little while to update.
If the price you see does not match the Book Blast price listed on our site, don’t purchase it yet. Check back a little later and make sure the promotional price has gone live first.
Some deals are already active, while others may not appear until August 26.
A few books are also PREORDERS!
You’ll notice that a couple of this year’s participating books haven’t released yet.
Those titles are preorders, which means you can still grab them during the Book Blast and have them magically appear on your device when release day arrives.
Just make sure you check the listing information so you know whether you’re purchasing a book you can read immediately or reserving one for later.
And now… GO FIND YOUR NEXT FAVORITE BOOK.
This event has always been about helping readers discover queer stories they may never have stumbled across otherwise.
Tiny presses.
Indie authors.
Established favorites.
Brand-new voices.
Romance, fantasy, horror, mystery, sci-fi, literary fiction, and all kinds of wonderful stories in between.
There is something incredibly joyful about watching readers show up year after year, grab books, discover new authors, and completely demolish their TBR plans.
And getting to celebrate the 3rd Annual Book Blast while also celebrating my 50th birthday?
That feels pretty spectacular.
So consider this your invitation to my birthday party.
There may not be cake on the website, but there are a LOT of books.
Grab something you already wanted.
Try an author you’ve never read before.
Pick a genre completely outside your usual orbit.
Download the freebies.
Snag the 99-cent treasures.
Go wild with the $1.99 books.
And most importantly, have fun discovering queer stories.
Happy Book Blast, friends.
And happy birthday to me.
