Pride Month list part 2: book edition

I read a lot (and I mean a lot) of queer books, especially during my YA phase ages 15-17, but here are a few that have particularly stood out to me, and why you should read them:

Maurice by E.M. Forster (published posthumously in 1971): everything you'd want from an early 20th century romance, except it's gay, and arguably the best piece of 20th century queer literature

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (2019): absolutely heartwrenching, will have you gasping for air in between sobs, and it's written by a poet so you KNOW the prose is amazing

Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart (2022): set in 1990s Glasgow, will absolutely rip your heart out and tear it to shreds

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo (2021): 1950s lesbian coming of age during the red scare, need I say more?

Don't Cry for Me by Daniel Black (2022): written in the form of letters, from a Black father to his gay son

Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski (2020): for some reason, no one seems to have read this, and they absolutely should have. will, once again, leave you in sobs (I am beginning to suspect I might cry easily)

My Government Means to Kill Me by Rasheed Newson (2022): another underhyped one, about race and sexuality during the AIDS crisis

Un Garçon d'Italie by Philippe Besson (2003): one of the narrators is literally a rotting corpse, that should be intriguing enough

A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood (1964), Confusion by Stefan Zweig (1927), Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown (1973) and Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin (1956) because, if you're like me, you're desparate to find queer literature from before the 1990s

Angels in America by Tony Kushner (1993), much quicker to read than to watch though, unfortunately, you do not have Andrew Garfield as Prior Walter in the written version

Ace of Spades by Faridah Abiké-Iyimidé (2021) starts with a quote from Get Out and that tells you everything you need to know

Ziggy, Stardust and Me by James Brandon (2019) is surprisingly rich for YA, exploring homosexuality in the 1970s, conversion therapy and Native American identity

Crush by Richard Siken (2005) if you're more into poetry, particularly the kind that will bring you physical and emotional pain

Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel (1986) because you can't not read Alison Bechdel

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun (2021), The Feeling of Falling in Love by Mason Deaver (2022), and She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen (2021) are the perfect romcoms if you want to switch your brain off for a few hours (or emotionally recover from half of the other books on this list)

As promised my list (so far) of Toxic Obsessive Homoerotic Friendship book recs, part 1! This list is my top ten, from most favorite to not quite as favorite (but still awesome) according to my own taste. I wanted to include pictures but it was a nightmare. I will make part two as soon as I can! Please give me your recs if you have any :) A lot of these books have heavy topics so please look up trigger warnings!

1. Black Iris by Elliot Wake (formerly known as Leah Raeder and the book is under that name)

2. If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio

In present day, Oliver is being released from prison after being convicted of a violent crime. In the past we visit him and his close group of friends as they study at a very prestigious and exclusive Shakespeare acting academy, and learn what really happened.

6. Underneath Everything by March Beller Paul

Mattie, a high school student, reflects on her lost friendship with her best friend, Jolene. Is it over for good or is there a possibility for friendship again in the future?

7. The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton

Laura, a high school junior attends a boarding school that was the setting of her favorite novel, and becomes obsessed with the church choir there and the very religious girl who leads them.

8. The Lightness by Emily Temple

In search of her missing father, Olivia goes to a mountain top Buddhist retreat and becomes a part of a group of girls who are obsessed with learning how to levitate.

9. Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls by Lynn Weingarten

10. The Falling Girls by Haley Krishner

Having the sudden urge to read a Jekyll and Hyde book adaptation; only issue is I’ve read so many of them and now I don’t know which ones to read :(

#please give me recommendations #the weirder the better #jekyll and hyde #please I’m desperately in need of a new Jekyll and Hyde book to add to the collection #if Henry Jekyll is the mc/ a character based off him is the mc you get extra points #cause surprisingly Henry Jekyll is my favorite character from J&H 😱😱

When you're really REALLY passionate about a book that has the same vibes as your favorite anime/manga and you just really want to recommend it to all the people in your anime/manga fandom because you KNOW they'd love it too but your worried about being annoying and overbearing with your recommendation.👉👈

#of course I'm talking about the Red Winter Trilogy #guys. I'm telling you #this book series gives off so many Inuyasha and Kamisama Kiss vibes that if you love either of those shows. its basically required reading. #trust me when I say you won't regret it #the Guild Codex Demonized gives off similar vibes and trust me its JUST as good as Red Winter. Or at least a very close second. #please I need somebody to gush over these books with me😩 #inuyasha #kamisama kiss #lowkey Guild Codex also gives off some Fairy Tail vibes too #fairy tail #the red winter trilogy #red winter trilogy #the guild codex #the guild codex: demonized #annette marie #bookaholic #book recs #book recommendations #books like anime

Seeking attention and bored cause I’m ✨very ill✨ so if this post finds anyone tell me the last great thing you watched/read/listened to. Be warned I do not engage with the fanfic multiverse it’s just not for me. If you really want to make me happy you can look at my intro post and see based on vibes (you really don’t have to do that I just want attention).

This is such a niche thing to complain about but I think I've exhausted the list of books I can read with android/human relationships that aren't just straight up fetish porn and I'm starting to get desperate

#i was so spoiled by well written ripuels fanfic that i forgot daydreaming about an android in love with a human is not normal behavior #anyways does anyone have any suggestions??? ive read most of the regularly recommended ones #but ive also read some niche ones that were great that nobody else seems to know about whatsoever #like nekropolis by maureen mchugh or machines like me by ian mcewan #anyways i have a personal vendetta against cyborgs so none of that please #no ''i was once human and am now in a robot body'' stuff #i DO like things that aren't STRICTLY inorganic (what a bizarre thing to say) so long as they have the theme of: #''i was created to obey and am not supposed to be feeling anything let alone love'' sort of thing u know #like in nekropolis its a genetically modified clone and i loved that book #HATE cyborgs though #anyways.....please give me suggestions. i am dying #any genre is fine so long as it has some amount of focus on the relationship #ripuels fabdom assemble!! (i mean. if there's anybody left lol)
