Boy Love
Â
This book was so beautiful. I loved it! It's a sweet end of high school romance. I cried a little at the end. It's not THAT upsetting, but I'm a super emotional person. 😅
What If It's Us by Albertalli & Silvera
Â
The sequel to "What If It's Us?" The first book's ending made me cry a little, but this is the ending the characters deserved and I loved it so much!
Here's to Us (What If It's Us) by Albertalli & Silvera
Â
Gay Cowboy Wizards? Say no more! So, the funny thing is, I saw an ad connecting this somehow to Disney and it's very eerily like Wizards of Waverly Places... but gay.
The Spells We Cast by Jason June
Â
This whole series makes me nearly giddy!! This is on my shelf
Go Luck Yourself: A Royals and Romance Novel
Â
Vampires sure have changed over the years. Remember the Twilight craze? Full confession, I never read or watched any of them. 😅
This is so much more fun, and bonus points for being queer! Of course, if you've ever read The Vampire Chronicles,...
How to Bite Your Neighbor and Win a Wager
Â
I bought this book from the author like 10+ years ago. It was a dark time for queer fiction. The better portion of queer stories involved very toxic relationships and this is a remarkably charming story.

Beached by Bellamy L. - 9781463739935
Â
Ah yes, the classic tale of underage romance, and double suicide. 😅 I don't know if this version ends any happier, but I'm sure it'll be full of sappy romance. Lol!
Teach the Torches to Burn: Romeo & Juliet Remix
Â
This one is sitting on my shelf. Look at that bratty face! Love it! Part of a trilogy of books. There is a trigger warning for bullying, though.
Speak the Truth: Volume One
Girl Love
Â
This is another one sitting on my shelf and it looks SOO cute!! Â It's a college love story rom com.
She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott
SPICY! Grown-Ups Only!
Â
This looks like an amazing book! A softboy guard and a closeted trans prince.
Warning! 18+!!
To Wield The Darkest Night
Picture Books
Â
This book was SO controversial, but it's seriously just such a sweet little story.
And Tango Makes Three by Richardson & Parnell
Â
Great book for discussing gender identity! For elementary school kids.
The Boy Who Wears Pink!
Â
I read this one a while ago and I just love it! It's a great story that introduces concepts of gender expression ( not just identity), and also "coming out" to your social group versus your family.
Auntie Uncle: Drag Queen Hero
Outside The Gender Binary
Â
This was somewhat groundbreaking. First book by an openly trans author, featuring a trans main character that hit the New York Times Best Seller List. It also features a lot of Latin X culture in the storyline. Excellent young adult novel
Cemetery Boys - Thomas, Aiden: Books - Amazon.com
Â
This book has all my want. Queer Mr. Darcy? Yes, please! I actually do own it. I just need to sit down and read!! Additionally the " Elizabeth" character is a trans man. 🥰
