Activists of YA discussion

here is a space where you can find reccomendations or reccomend some of your favorite books with LGBTQ+ representation.

some of my favorites are:

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (this is my all time favorite book and its getting a sequel soon!)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I Wish You All the Best

The Stars and the Blackness Between Them

Felix Ever After

I know I'm just repeating everybody at this point but Red, White, and Royal Blue was wonderful.

You Should See Me in a Crown

Radio Silence is a book with protagonists on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, but it isn't classified as romance.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

The Feverwake Duology

And this video helped me find some good lgbtq+ reads

Im trying to read more lgbtq+ books. Thank you for the recs :)

I highly recommend the Heartstopper books

does anyone have any good recs with non-binary rep? (preferably main character/love interest but anything’s fine)

I've got the perfect book. It's a thriller, but Even If We Break has a trans boy who's in love with a non-binary rep. There are 5 main characters, including those two, and the PoV switches between them all. It's really, really good!

Any good femslash books? For 13 year olds?

Here is part of my LGBTQ+ book reccomendations:

> They Both Die at the End - Loved this book as it was such an easy read. It just shows how much people can connect in just one day and it feels like they have known eachother a lifetime.

> Simon VS The Homo Sapiens Agenda - Was such a nice story of a romance blossoming even if you have not met eachother face to face. Simon was just such a likeable character so it wasn't a challenge to go on this emotional rollercoaster with him.

> The School for Good & Evil Series - This fantasy series of twisted fairytales kept me gripped the whole time. With multiple LGBTQ+ characters, great villains & a POC author this is the perfect read. Though people discount these books as they are middle grade, I would recommend to anyone!!

One of the ones I didn’t see on here was Girls of Paper and Fire it was amazing. Also Red white and royal blue, cemetery boys and I wish you all the best.

Thank you so much!!!

I dont think anyone has said this but Last Night at the Telegraph Club
recently read and i really enjoyed it !!

some others are The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali
Only Mostly Devastated
Ace of Spades
Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Ace of Spades is a great one. It also focuses on racial issues and white supremacy, so overall a very diverse read!
