In episode 5 of TBR Tackle, —my series where I read down my physical TBR two books at a time with a twist — I read two backlist YA contemporaries with queer rep by Latiné authors. My members on Patreon sent in reading prompts for my "TBR Jar." So I pulled out two challenges randomly and chose books from my physical TBR based on the prompts.
