I think it's unacceptable that I, a person who loves books, movies and series, as no friends who are willing to talk about them with me...

LGBT+ Fantasy/Fiction Books and TWs
1. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell-
(Fantasy, Witches, Vampires, kind of Harry Potter-y, Romance, TW for mention of suicidal ideation/self-destructiveness, abandonment, foster care, neglect, murder/violence, gun violence and relationship issues in the second book. It has some heavy topics but is written in a pretty light tone.)
2. Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston-
(enemies to lovers, about the son of the President and the Prince of England getting into a fight, they have to fake a friendship to fix their PR situation, TW for being publicly outed and semi-graphic sex scenes, also often politically charged discussions)
3. Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller-
(Ancient Greece, demigods, exile, TW for war/violence and tragedy, homophobia, bad parenting)
4. The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic-
(It’s about the mafia/college sports and happens to have a compelling queer storyline in the process. Demisexual main character and other gay characters. (slow burn, it’s a trilogy and the romance doesn’t happen in the first book) TW for a lot of things, it’s about kids from broken homes and the mafia so there is abuse, self harm, murder, police intervention, organized crime, drug use, assault, rehab, all kinds of weapons, manipulation, slurs, etc. The second book has mentions of r*pe (not extremely graphic but it is mentioned a handful of times and there is one semi graphic scene), and torture. It is a great series but it has heavy content and is not light reading if you go in unprepared.)
5. The House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune -

6. Heartstopper by Alice Oseman-
(MLM, graphic novel, slow burn, coming out TW for anorexia, self harm, suicidal ideation, homophobia)

8. They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera-

9. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo-
(queer characters (but no romance in the first book, TW for graphic depictions of violence, ableism, mention of abuse, mention of sexual slavery and assault, imprisonment)
10. The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee (Historical Fiction Romance, Travel/Journey, Best Friends to lovers, MLM characters. TW for abuse, homophobia, racism, suicidal ideation, alcoholism, depiction of epileptic seizures, gun violence, and discussion of insane asylums)
11. In Deeper Waters by FT Lukens-
(Royalty, kidnapping, MLM characters not being released until April but it looks great)

(coming of age story, MLM, TW for violence/injury, surgery, transmisogyny, homophobic violence)
14. We Contain Multitudes by Sarah Henstra-
(coming of age, friendship and romance)
15. Love and Other Curses by Michael Thomas Ford-
(magical realism, a curse about falling in love)
16. More Happy than Not by Adam Silvera-
(MLM main character, YA, “it's about a boy who is considering a memory-alteration procedure to forget he's gay because leading a life as a straight teen would probably be way easier for him. It's about science versus nature, friendship, sexuality, and a quest for happiness.” About the happy ending and how even bad moments lead to good. Hopeful but despairing. TW for medical procedure to erase sexuality, internalized homophobia, homophobia from others, depression)
17. I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver-

yall i went to barnes and noble for the first time in my life today and i am screaming it was such a great experience
i went in with three sticky notes full of books i wanted to buy (basically all of them were lgbtq+) and found a few of them as soon as i walked in
there was a worker who like had gay vibes but i wasn’t actually sure and he helped me find a bunch of the books i was looking for and after he asked why i was so interested in lgbtq+ books (as a genuine question) i told him i was a lesbian his reaction was awesome he like smiled real wide and banged his fist on the desk excitedly and told me that that was awesome and then he and my mom and i had a discussion about being gay and how it was for him in the past vs now and it was awesome
then i got all my books (like 14 of them) and got a barnes and noble membership cause now that i’ve been i’m definitely going back and the cashier was also maybe gay but idk
i didn’t get nearly all the books on my list but that was more cause they were options i was thinking of getting and i saw a bunch more i wanted but i had to like stop myself from grabbing them i was so excited (my mom said my face was bright red the whole time she was apparently worried about me)
anyways that was awesome all the books were only like 180 dollars which is like way less than i thought

Okay- I’ve enjoyed Carry On and Wayward Son.
I fawned over Red White and Royal Blue.
I poured my entire ass soul into The Foxhole Court.
Anyone got a lighthearted MLM book for me? I can’t do much more heartache atm, AFTG gave me so much but it hit home, and it hit deep.
Is Aristotle and Dante good? Or The Gentleman’s Guide? Or are they gonna be just as personal?
