Hi! I was an early reviewer for True Romantics by Sarah Lyu, and while I absolutely love it, there are no LGBT themes -- just wanted to let you know. :)

Thanks for the heads up, Sophia! I removed that one.
Isn't Queen of Air and Darkness coming out December this year unless I missed something?
I can't add it because I'm the "author," but FWIW His Hideous Heart has a bunch of queer narrators (including mine).
Thanks, guys! I removed Queen of Air and Darkness and added His Hideous Heart.
Removed Shadows You Left. No NA on this list, please.
Removed Changing Ways. This is a 2018 release.
Removed Reverie, which got pushed to 2020.
Removed Red, White and Royal Blue. Per the author, this is adult fiction, not YA.
Removed The Friend System. Looks like this got pushed to 2020.
Removed The Stars Around Us and Rise as One, which both got pushed to 2020.
Hello, My YA book (which is a Goodreads book), No Doubt In My Mind, has a prominent gay character and because the book takes place in 1968, it gives a rare historical perspective. I hope you'll include it on your list. Thanks so much!

Removed There Goes Sunday School. This is a 2018 release.
Removed Heartstopper: Volume One and Grimm Tales: Rise of the Yokai, which have original publication dates of 2018. Also removed Red, White & Royal Blue again. This is adult fiction.
Hey, could you please update this and other lists with the same tags and description additions as for 2018 list ? I just think the explicit inclusion of other queer identities beyond only L, G, B and Ts would better reflect the content of these lists and also allow them to show up if one of the at the moment not explicitly included identities are searched on goodreads as tags.(Possible change of titles to LGBTQIA+ or LGBT+ would be ideal, of course, if possible… :) )
I prefer to keep the title of the list the same, but I updated the tags so it can more easily be found by people searching for queer-oriented YA. :)

No, graphic novels are always welcome! I removed the first volume of Heartstopper because it was originally released in 2018. The second volume releases in 2019, though.
Is it too late to have a book added to the 2018 list?
Not at all! Feel free to add books to the 2018 list. Just make sure they are YA/MG and have an original publication date of last year.
Removed Brooklyn Brujas #3, which got pushed to 2020, along with a few other non-2019 releases.
Removed Loveless, Semper Augustus, and When We Were Magic, which all got pushed to 2020. Also removed Last Night at the Telegraph Club, current publication date unknown.
Removed A Home for Dogs and Goddesses, which got pushed to 2020.
I love the amount of LGBT+ books coming out in 2019. It makes me so happy!
A Place for Wolves should probably be removed since it's not being published anymore.Also you should maybe change at least the description on this since some of these books feature other identities than "gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans". As an aroace, I do not use gay as an umbrella term.
Removed Birdie and Me, Only Mostly Devastated, Each of Us a Desert, and The Mermaid, the Witch and the Sea, which all got pushed to 2020. Also deleted a few other titles for wrong category, wrong publication year.
Removed Martin McLean, Middle School Queen, which got pushed to 2020. Also deleted The Astrolabe. No NA on this list, please.
Removed some adult titles and also had to delete several non-2019 releases. Please make sure that books added to this list are specifically YA and have a first publication date of 2019.
This Was Our Pact, by Ryan Andrews needs to be removed. Just finished reading it on my tablet. Although it's a good graphic novel, there are no LGBT elements (or even any romance) involved in the plot.
Thanks for the heads up! For some reason, Amazon had marked it as "LGBT," but it looks like it isn't after all.
Removed Fabiola & Ylini, A Boy Like Her, and Children of the River Ghost, current publication dates unknown.
Thanks for the heads up! I removed The Disasters.
Is The Black Flamingo on this list?
Just had to remove several more non-2019 releases.
