#LGBTApril book recs

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 Proxy series | Alex London (Gay main character)
 The Coldest Girl In Coldtown | Holly Black (Transgender secondary character)
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)
The Pantomime series | Laura Lam (Intersex main character)

Books I have yet to read but other people recommend:


 Every book ever by Malinda Lo (Lesbian main characters abound)


 Books I know are LGBTA+ but don't know in what way:

The Culling | Steven Dos Santos
Coda | Emma Trevayne
Witch Eyes | Scott Tracey

#LGBTApril


Jumping very late onto a bandwagon here, but LGBT appreciation!! Celebration of diversity is my favourite thing, and as an author of LGBT books, and a pansexual (though admittedly the P doesn't fall under LGBT), how could I say no to this?

I have a few things I'd like to do for this month, namely a couple reviews, a top ten/five, and maybe a spotlight if I get time. This is all very impromptu but I can't help myself.

So expect to see some long overdue reviews (namely of Ash, Proxy, and if I find time: Adaptation, Huntress, and a Bane Chronicle) in the coming weeks, and feel free to (please do!) recommend LGBT/QUILTBAG books if you know any. I'm on the hunt for genre fiction with queer representation.

*whispers* and if you have a couple pounds/dollars to spare, don't forget to pre-order The Beast of Callaire, my forthcoming lesbian paranormal YA. It'll be on B&N and iBooks in roughly a week.
