Happy Pride Month everybody! I love reading so I wanted to share some of my favourite LGBTQIA+ books. These books are for all different ages (please check Common Sense Media to confirm appropriate reading ages) and they may contain some triggers that can be found at Book Trigger Warnings.

Disclaimer: this list is not perfect and does not cover all the queer identities. For example, this list only includes 1 transgender or non-binary MC. Yes, this is an issue and I need to read more books with genderqueer MCs - I would really appreciate any recommendations!

• Amelia Westlake by Erin Gough: lesbian MC* (YA* contemporary, romance)
• Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas: transgender, gay MC (YA fantasy)
• Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Kerring Blake: lesbian MC, bisexual MC (adult romance)
• Heartstopper by Alice Oseman: gay MC, bisexual MC (YA graphic novel, romance)
• Loveless by Alice Oseman: asexual/aromantic MC (YA contemporary)
• One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston: bisexual MC (adult romance, sci-fi)
• Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales: bisexual MC (YA contemporary, romance) [this is one of my favourite books ever! It makes my lil bi heart so happy!!]
