One of my favorite books is called "They Both Die at the End." In a world where you get a call from a place called Death-Cast saying that within the next 24 hours you will die, these two boys recive the call. Theres this app called the Last Friend app made to help these people make "last friends." The two boys meet up and enjoy their last day together. I cant say much else without spoiling it but this book broke me. Like i cant even word how much this book just amazed me. Learning about the boys trauma, knowing they're going to die, the romance, all of it was just like, wow. Highly recommend.

HIGHLY recommend Magnus Chase and other Rick riordan books. The main character (Magnus) is bi or pan (idk which). another main character is gender fluid. It isn’t cannon, but basically everyone ships hearthstone and blitzen (both guys). Also the god Loki is gender fluid. In other Percy Jackson books, the author confirmed Percy is bi and piper is also bi. Epilogue is bi, nico is gay and will is gay or bi. There are even more lgbtq plus characters. It’s also got an AMAZING plot. :D

while i did very much enjoy the series, i don't believe it's a good pick if you're searching for books for lgbtq people. i personally (and many other lgbt people) have felt that the representation really wasn't that well written, and it's not the main focus either, so if you're going into it FOR the representation, i do not think you will be satisfied.

I HIGHLY recommend Heartstopper and The Prince and the dressmaker. They are both graphic novels for all the graphic novel lovers out there, and Heartstopper was even so good it got a Tv show before the 2nd book was even realeased. 18:00 Heartstopper 21:20 The Prince and the dressmaker Also, the Prince and the dressmaker is about a transgender boy who is in love with dresses, so he hired a dressmaker to make him dresses and he went out to parties

Me wanting to get some book recommendations after I finished reading ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF UNIVERSE and this is the third reccmnd video I saw And all the three reccmnd videos I saw had ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF UNIVERSE as the first choice and I am not even surprised
Three words: captive. prince. trilogy.
If you like comedy i would highly recommend tales from verania by tj klune it is one of my favourites
I have my first LGBTQ+ book from our classical supporter Alice Oseman and it is called "Loveless". For those who don't know yet or haven't figured out based on the title and you want to know before you read it, then..... keep scrolling on this comment! 😁👍✨ It is pretty much based on a young adult girl who doesn't know that she is Aroace (yet), and she goes into college trying to find a S/O wether it's a boy or a girl or Non-binary or Agender! She likes to read fanfictions *(like most of us)* and believes that she will find her true love during college! And she's trying to figure out wether she's bi, lesbian, or pan ect. And soon enough she finds the terms of Asexual and aromantic. And yeah, the story goes on 😁 *(BTW she's still learning new gender and sexuality term so she didn't know that the ace spectrum exist, and I'm still reading this book I recommend it tho! So go check it out when and if you can!)*
THE MUSIC OF WHAT HAPPENS IS AMAZING PLEASE READ IT
I have to be the only person who doesn't like Carry On. I think my number one reason is because of the fact that it's a spin off of Harry Potter. It feels too fanfictiony to me. (There's nothing wrong with ff, but I don't see that as something that should be published, I feel the same for Leah on the off beat, feels like it's fanfiction for the authors own novel)

This one's more teenage than YA but "I'll give you the sun" by Jandy Nelson. Oh. My. God. It follows two twins; Noah and Jude. Noah's perspective is him at 13+ where he struggles being bullied for his sexuality. We see Jude at 16+ and slowly discover more about why his brother isn't how he used to be as well as hearing about her struggles with expressing emotion and finding love. Heart wrenching and amazing story

I would recommend the books I'm a Gay Wizard and Tell Me Again how a Crush should Feel.
can literally anyone, everyone recommend a book/series/film/show anything that is ab a romance between two characters (preferably queer) that has you literally holding your breath until the very last second? i want close encounters, i want denial, i want hands skimming and blushing deeper than a fire hydrant and infectious smiles and the "OH MY GOD JUST KISS ALREADY" vibes. anything ranging from cute and nerve racking to the kind of sensual that breeds butterflies and shivers down your spine. i just finished watching Young Royals and i need more please i'm on my knees begging🙏

I read autoboyography as a baby bi and it was a really nice book, but reading it again later, I realised it was a bit more nuanced than I first thought and could perceive. First, the love corner (makes more sense than a love triangle in my head) made me uncomfortable because I thought it played into the "all bi people are players" kinda stereotype, but looking back, we can undesrtand how that was really his personal fault and he takes responsability for his actions (and suffers a bit of the consequences too) and a product of the situation, then again, he is the only bi character so it's still a bit ://///, but I still think it's a good read, especially to read first as a baby gay and later as a more developed person with a more developed identity, and a deeper undestanding of the nuances of sexuality sorry for the massive comment!!!
