This month's book is The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean.

We’re celebrating Pride month with some queer representation and a story of survival, where family may not be home and loving someone exactly as they are requires rethinking everything you thought you knew.

From the author's website:

Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it.

Devon is part of The Family, a reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon—like all other book eater women—is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.

But real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger—not for books, but for human minds.

Content warnings: Body horror, child abuse, confinement, domestic abuse, death, murder, gore, violence
