I love reading about mainly gay history, whether it’s about the Stonewall Riots, a biography on Oscar Wilde, or even a memoir by an adult actor from the 80s. I crave that history and I find it to be so enjoyable (and what better reason to read?)
But I’ve run into an issue.. I literally will scroll Amazon for a long time, searching for my next book. The issue? I’ve read what they have to offer. I go to bookstores here and I run into the same issue. It’s all of the same books, everything I’ve already read. So I scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll..
I LOVE going to big cities and checking out their bookstores just because they will have something I probably haven’t seen. The bookstore in the Castro in San Francisco is my favorite bookstore in the world because they things I’ve never seen before, even online.
But it’s tiring. And I crave learning and reading more! So what should I do? How do I find more? I’m not looking for recommendations, I’m looking for methods of finding books instead. What should I do when I feel like exhausted all of my options?

Try looking in the reference lists of your favourite books. You might have luck finding some more obscure ones that way.
I mostly listen to my nonfiction through audiobooks I get on Libby through the library. I just jump on and hit ‘Available Now’ and scroll until something catches my eye.
