Recs if you like Suicide Notes...

Fiction with LGBTQ characters or themes, published for teens between 1990 and 2009.

YA novels with mental health representation.

In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.

This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!

A collection of books for every version of me—the hopeless romantic, the overthinker, the dreamer, the girl learning to heal, and the woman still figuring it all out.

Inside you’ll find swoon-worthy romances that make your heart ache in the best way, memoirs that feel like late-night conversations with a friend, stories of self-discovery and personal growth, comforting fiction that wraps around you like a warm blanket, and thought-provoking reads for the intellectual baddies.

a list about books I've read with mental health representation (that has a critical weight in the book).

so far this includes: suicide (both in teenage years and in adult life), anxiety disorders, depression, schizophrenia, sexual (child) abuse, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, intergenerational trauma in christian black environmetns, violent trauma and dissociative related disorders.

i'll keep adding as i consider the books i read (always open to suggestions 🤗)

all the books i've read in 2021.
