lauren | 9 comments Hey!
I've added a few to-reads to the bookshelf, and I thought it would be cool to have a discussion for it as well!
If you've read any great books recently, add them here or to the bookshelf
:D

Quinn Gartner | 6 comments If you are interested in queer romance series, anything by Alice Oseman, Rebecca Albertalli, or Adam Silvera is good. If your interested more in fantasies, I don’t know if any queer ones yet because I’m more of a romance novel reader, but I’m reading the black prism series right now, and I’m enjoying it.

Quinn Gartner | 6 comments Thanks for this! I haven’t been able to find any queer fantasy books and I really want to read some and recommend to my friend who’s a bit more into fantasy than I am

lauren | 9 comments Say 'queer fantasy' 3 times and I am summoned.

If you like historical romance try: Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall
If you like sci-fi (with a bit of goriness) try: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
and if you like short stories: The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo

and not fantasy but as a fellow romance novel reader, try Infamous by Lex Croucher. or anything by Lex Croucher she is great. or anything by Alexis Hall.

Ren (rensrad) | 4 comments A good book I've read, and I think would be really good, is 'The Sunbearer Trials' by Aiden Thomas. It's Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games, and is really good with the world building.

I concurr, Alexis Hall and Lex Croucher are queer romance royalty.

I'm not a huge fantasy reader but recently read and loved the Carry On books by Rainbow Rowell. Reading them felt like a reclaiming of those famous wizard books by She Who Shall Not Be Named. But it's not just a queer re-hash... it's a beautiful stand alone work in itself.
It's more sci-fi but Becky Chambers Monk & Robot books I also really enjoyed.

Caleb Byrum Im just gonna go cray, in here and give a long list of my fav LGBGTQ Books i've read, and rec < 3

Seven Dirty Secrets By Natalie D, Richards isnt inheriently gay by itself although one of the side characters is, and i love him with all my heart, Aiden suprimicy

Suicide Notes By Michael Thomas Ford has to be one of my fav gay reads, not only bc i am uh slightly menally ill and can releate a little but also becuase of the sequel

Every Star That Falls By Michael Thomas Ford, this book is literally so cute, practically 400 pages of fluff and i still wanted more.

For The Fans By Nyla K, is pretty good a little out of my typical genre read, but i liked the characters and thought the story wasd cute, i swear im not a weirdo she just wrote them good.

They Both Die At The End, is an obvious choise i just love it, broke my heart but 10/10 although im too scared to read the prequel yet even though i preordered the sequel.

The Pledge By Cale Dietritch was really good, and i loved it, read it i need to yap to someone

Body Count by Codie Crowley, isnt out yet but its a sapphic slasher thriller, and i just know it'll be good

Hope you enjoy? my list, and yapping < 3

Charlie Phillips | 1 comments I'm currently reading Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven, it's a retelling of The Picture Of Dorian Gray and I LOVE IT!

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman is also another one of my favourite reads :)

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M McManus also has a gay main character!


cozy?? THE cozzeteewrthleighe? | 5 comments I just finished the first to die at the end, and I would definitely recommend it!!
