some of my favorite lgbtq+ books 📖🌈 

books by black authors with black lgbtq+ characters + themes: honey girl, you should see me in a crown, cinderella is dead, let’s talk about love, ace of spades, if it makes you happy, and the stars and the blackness between them 🥰 just to name a few

not only is she back but she is back with quality content as well! Love it xx

I loved “On Earth we are briefly gorgeous”! It is beautifully written.

i love what you mentioned about all these books being for everyone any age. we really have so much to learn from books, we're not 'too old' to read something just because it's aimed at a younger audience. ^^

missing you extra these days char

i recommend the seven husbands of evelyn hugo for great bi rep in an old timey book, and alice oseman wrote a book called loveless based on their experience as an aro/ace person :))

I FUCKING LOVED ONE LAST STOP, as a person exploring their sexuality :) It made me yearn for the first time in a while

you opened my eyes to all the types of books i can read. i always thought i didn’t like, or couldn’t read but i was always just making myself read what i didn’t want or couldn’t really comprehend. gonna pick up a ‘kids’ book from the library this week 😊

Fellow queer woman who loves YA and children’s books!! Will be adding all of these to my book list immediately

for anyone looking for more lgbtq+ reads i highly recommend books and bao's youtube channel! they talk regularly about old, new, and a lot of translated literature that involves lgbtq+ themes and characters. ^^

I love this! Also I recommend The Tea Dragon Society to all ages, it’s so cute and delightful

Very happy that you’re back with a bookish video. I love your reading/writing content!

I’ve missed your content so much! Sending you lots of love and good energy for the last bit of this semester 💕

was literally just thinking about you! seeing you post makes my day 💗

7:12 - 7:17 omgg finally someone who understandssssss

There is a comic book series called moonstruck that also incorporates lgbtq+ with magical characters. I've been wanting to read that for a while now. It looks fun!

you've probably heard of it being in this book community corner but i can't recommend song of achilles enough!! as an art and mythology loving lgbt+ community person this book really touched me. it's written very beautifully, you can feel pure love reading it :)

Yesssss I’ve been wanting more queer book recs!! Thanks Charley! 🥰💕💕

Ahh finally some lgbtq book recs! I literally have One Last Stop right now haha!💗💗

I'm nonbinary (and queer) and do a lot of work with kiddos, which can be hard. these are great resources, thank you!!

Love the recommendations! Just a heads up, both Alice Oseman and Casey Mcquiston are non-binary, Alice's pronouns are she/they and Casey goes by any pronouns according to their Twitter.
