While it is highly celebrated in June, the Queer community exists all year long and this working list is created to support/encourage others to read more literature written by & represented people within said community.

thanks for curating this! so helpful to my tbr â¤ď¸
You are most welcome! I will definitely be adding more to the list as I come across them or I get recs. <3
I just read Old Enough by Haley Jakobson as part of my podcast book club! i had mixed feelings but was ultimately won over by the end.
Janelle, I love this! 𫶠Let me know if you want any more recs! :)
always!! thank you
I'd also suggest "Sunburn"; (literary, sapphic) "Down Among the Sticks and Bones" (sapphic, but also mad scientists, vampires, and atmospheric. Read it!); Every Heart a Doorway (trans side character); "She Who Became the Sun" (fantasy, sapphic, possibly non-binary (?)); "A dowry of Blood" (queer vampires); "The raven Cycle (YA gay); "My Policeman" (gay, the movie has Harry Styles in it); "If We Were Villains" (dark academia and repressed gays. Which honestly describes most of the genre); "We Could Be So Good" (1950s New York, gay)
I loved Those who wait by Haley Cass and Whenever you're ready by Rachel Runya Katz, maybe they're a fit here! Thanks for the list <3
All of A.K Mulford books have LBGTQ+ rep It's one of my favorite things about themâĄ
