LGBTA+ Book Recommendations
It's been a while since I've made a book recs post, and since it's LGBTA+ month, I have the perfect excuse. It's becoming harder and harder to find queer books in genre fiction, mostly because I've already read the books out there . But every so often I stumble across a few gems, and these are the ones I've found.
Books I have read and personally recommend:
The Dream Thieves/The Raven Cycle | Maggie Stiefvater (Gay main/secondary character)
The Demon's Lexicon series | Sarah Rees Brennan (Gay secondary character)
The Lynburn Legacy series | Sarah Rees Brennan (Lesbian secondary character)
Books I have yet to read but other people recommend:
Coda | Emma Trevayne
Witch Eyes | Scott Tracey
Pantomime! I love that series. <3 Adaptation and The Culling are goo~d too. :) Nice list!
ReplyDeleteOh my god I didn't know all these books had LGBT+ secondary characters! I would've mentioned them in my last post if I saw this post beforehand. I really want to read The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and now I want to even more. I've heard that The Raven Boys is super slow at the beginning though so I might have to save that for a read-a-thon or something. Awesome post!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Coldest Girl In Coldtown. Highly recommend it! Finding a trans* character in that book was such a lovely shock.
DeleteThe Raven Boys is one of my favourite books ever. It IS a little slow to build (all Maggie's books are) but the wonderful prose and characters more than make up for it, and the second book focuses entirely on a gay character, which is awesome.
