YA LGBT Books discussion

ETA: I picked 6 of the nominations for this month's poll - saving some for another month.

Go Vote here through Sept 7 :

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/3...

I'm trying opening these at the beginning of the month:

What YA LGBTQ book would you like to read, or do you think members who haven't read it should try, (and those who have read it can discuss), as our BotM for Sept 2024?

What book made a difference to you, and might to other readers? What sounds interesting, appealing or different that you want to read?

If possible, link the book page on GR and tell us a little about it or why you picked it, or post the blurb.

The titles of past books of the month that we have read are on all the threads in this "Book of the Month" folder, and you can also check with a search of the group's book-of-the-month Bookshelf at - https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... Please do not repeat a book we have read - either as a past Book of the Month or as a Buddy Read (check the Buddy Read folder) - and please only nominate the first book in a series, unless a later book stands alone as a solo read.

Up to two nominations per member. Nominations will be open through Midnight Aug 31 or sooner if we get 12 nominations - the max for voting. Feel free to renominate a book that did not win in a past vote, if it fits this category. (You can find previous nominations in either the old polls (under the "polls" link) or in the "Old BOM Nominations" folder well down the group page.)

Authors please do not nominate your own books - but readers can definitely nominate a member author's work

Together in a broken world by Paul Michael Winters

Or

The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder

Together in a Broken World - great choice, will put it into the poll.

The Unlikely Heir - this book has one MC who is 25 and the other is 39 - that really puts it out of the YA genre, unfortunately.

I'd like to suggest a few!

Most Ardently
The Bone Spindle
I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me
The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge

Thank you!
1, 2 and 4 look great - definitely can put those on the poll in Sept.

I wondered about I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me - horror is fine, and it sounds intriguing, but a scan of the blurb suggests the protagonist is adult and I'm wondering if the context and content on this one fit YA ?

Whiteout, Otherworldly, The Spells We Cast, and Bonds of Brass are a few👍

If you could mention the authors (or link them if you can) - there are several books called "Whiteout"?

Sorry it was "Whiteout" by Dhonielle Clayton.

Whiteout
Otherworldly

I'll save the other two for next month.

Ok 👍

I'd like to nominate The Boy on the Lawn (Michael DiSanto, Profiler/Ghosthealer) thank you! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Is that your own book? Because the rules posted above (last line) ask authors not to nominate their own work, although other group members can definitely nominate member authors' books.

No worries - it wasn't in the newsletter, just the directions above. I hope the book is doing well for you and maybe a fan will nominate it in the future. <3
