Book and author: Melissa Scott, The Kindly Ones Bingo prompts it satisfies: book by a queer author, book with queer protagonist(s). There's also a major secondary character (maaybe a protagonist) with a physical disability. For me, also an author I never read before.

Book and author: Hugh Howey, Wool Bingo prompts it satisfies: self-published book, red cover
Book and author: Scott Lynch, Red Seas Under Red Skies Bingo prompts it satisfies: second book in a series, book with red cover; Also, I wouldn't call her a protagonist, as that's clearly reserved for Jean and Locke, but there's a prominent secondary character of color (Zamira), and a secondary? tertiary? character with a physical disability (Selendri).

Book and author: Adam Rex, Smek for President Bingo prompts it satisfies: second book in a series, book with a female protagonist, book with a protagonist of color; it narrowly misses being a book narrated by a child because Tip is 13. I guess it's also a story where the main male and female characters don't fall in love, except Boovish gender is non-binary, so I don't think that counts.
