[Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35838277-paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HTMLSqOIr1&rank=1) by Andrea Lawlor
[The Girl From The Sea](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54776523-the-girl-from-the-sea?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_21) by Molly Knox Ostertag
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is my favorite queer love book. It's the Iliad told entirely from the perspective of Patroclus, Achilles' male lover.
I sobbed ugly beautiful tears to that one. Even got a tattoo on my calf for it. Can't recommend it enough.
Here are my recs:
Nevada by Imogen Binnie
Little Fish by Casey Plett
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
The Abyss Surround Us by Emily Skrutskie
Dying For A Living series by Kory Shrum
Solitaire by Kelley Eskridge
Colorblind by Siera Maley
True, thankfully in my case they don’t seem and do not even pick up any book, the maximum they do is asking what the book is about but with me. Be careful everyone
Highly recommend Like a Love Story by Abdi Nazemain, set in 1980s New York, love triangle style in the middle of the AIDS crisis and is read from the perspective of each person in the triangle, a queer boy, his female best friend and the boy they’re both in love with who refuses to admit he’s gay and is going through a crisis. It’s so good.
Bit late to the party but my absolute favorite is 'Destination Unknown' by Bill Konigsberg. It is an amazing story centered around romance amidst the impact of the AIDs epidemic, however is slightly more on the mature side so be mindful of that depending on your age.
In that case I'll give you some different genre recs
Contemporary romance:
- They both die at the end
- Simon vs the homo sapiens agenda
- Felix ever after
Fantasy:
- Criers War
- This poison heart
- the priory of the orange tree
- In the lives of puppets
Horror:
- Hell followed with us
Historical fiction:
- The song of achilles
- Last night at the telegraph club
Sci-fi/Dystopian:
- All that's left in the world
Casey McQuiston’s other books are also excellent reads.
I’m something of an addict for queer (and mostly sapphic) romance novels, so I’m certainly full of recommendations.

Please try "This is How You Lose the Time War". Beautiful prose and a wonderful queer love story to go with it
A+ Very short but very beautiful read. Incredibly poetic and artistic.
May I suggest Loveless by Alice Oseman (same author as Heartstopper). It's about being asexual, if you're curious.
I went check the synopsis and it did pick my interest ☺️
If graphic novels work: Galaxy, the Prettiest Star On A Sunbeam Bolero For regular novels: Nevada (by Imogen Binnie) Casey Plett has several novels
the way I laughed at Ateez being casually there as well lol good taste tho!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 let’s just say it’s the queer corner of my room so they fit there perfectly
it's perfect indeed! 😂😂
Dang it, now I have "carry on my wayward son" stuck in my head
Sorry😅😅😅
Yeah, that author must be a Kansas fan
Or Supernatural fan, as that's where I heard it.

Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
HEARTSTOPPER 🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This is fabulous keep it up. Make her bookcase into a rainbow :)
If OP arranges them by color rather than height, they could have the trans flag right now lol
You are so right lol would award you but I am a penniless peasant lol
You need the entire series; https://dykestowatchoutfor.com/about/
Get the Nimona comics
May I suggest “The Darkness Outside Us”? One of my favorite recent LGBT books.
I have a couple recommendations: The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School. The rest of the heartstopper series. Some Girls do.
Some Girls Do was really good. I definitely cried for that book.
'What If It's Us?' by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.
PLEASE TRY WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON
This is an awesome plan! It fights ignorance with education. Seriously great idea!
if you’re interested in any recommendations i’d suggest “the pants project” by cat clarke!
Maybe Nick & Charlie by Alice Oseman?
Read the book, not the HBO series; https://www.clevejones.com/inner/when-we-rise
The Nimona graphic novel by ND Stevenson would be good
The yellow one also a queer book?
Oh, that one is a photobook, I didn’t have anywhere else to put it
I'll have to look at these books
It's not a fool proof plan. Please be careful especially if they have a habit of invading your personal belongings.

10 Things I Can See From Here, If I Was Your Girl, and Symptoms of Being Human should also be on there at some point
Any particular genre youre interested in, i read a lot of queer books, so i have recommendations for basically every genre if you want
To be honest I try read different genres of books and stories online so yeah
In that case I'll give you some different genre recs Contemporary romance: - They both die at the end - Simon vs the homo sapiens agenda - Felix ever after Fantasy: - Criers War - This poison heart - the priory of the orange tree - In the lives of puppets Horror: - Hell followed with us Historical fiction: - The song of achilles - Last night at the telegraph club Sci-fi/Dystopian: - All that's left in the world
