this year i've read mostly classics, that's why i wanted to read more queer books next month! but for genre, i really like anything as long as the story is compelling.

[Sai :)]

Pretty much same, but there are some genres I prefer more than others. Do you guys want to choose a queer book or just any random book you would like to discuss? We can sort through our t-read shelves and find something really good.

Random book to discuss.

(My suggestion is It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover)

oohh i've heard a lot about the 1st book that's a great suggestion

[Sai :)]

I've never even heard of that series but almost everyone I follow wants to read it, and it seems pretty good. Kiss Her Once For Me also seems nice.

[Sea]

I can definitely vouch for Kiss her once for me and Written in the stars. loved them both to pieces!!

[Sea]

oh!!! I have wanted to read the Cerulean series!! If we decide on that then YAYY!

[Sea]

(okay, hoomans the app doesn't allow one to respond to one message yeah? so how do you all do that? ~ I know it's very off topic :///) And! Anjo, give me recommendations for classics? Recently I have been a lot into queer books (especially sapphic, uff) and same. If the story is compelling, I would definitely give it a go.

i think is going to be this one because it's talked about a lot and most of us haven't read yet

YES the app doesn't, i need to go to the browser version to respond a comment individually😭
Sea if you want to start classic literature i definitely recommend any of Kafka's short stories, especially "The Metamorphosis" and "In the Penal Colony", these two changed me as a person

[Sea]

Uff, if the Cerulean series is chosen then DEF count me in.

[Sea]

*sobs* to go to the browser and then respond is soo much work? GR needs to fix it's app's UI sjsjsjs
Thank you so much for the rec, Anjo! Adding these to tbr RN!

Just finished A Happy Beginning by B.A. Richards It is has tons of smut but is so good. Has gay, ace and poly relationships. Is fantasy. Think Red, White and Blue but with fairies, vampires and trolls.

[EDI]

I know it’s a popular Queer book series but HEARTSTOPPER!!! ( maybe I can use it as an excuse to get my caretakers to let me read it )

I DNF kiss her once for me by Alison Cochrun it wasn't for me. But I loved written in the stars by Alexandria bellefleur gave 5 stars.

Tyranny of the Experts by Dr. Morris E. Chafetz. A queer book I read this summer is Sluts by Dennis Cooper. It is a book about a gay sex worker.
