A Very Long List of LGBTQIA+ Books - Part 2

Review by Fay Clark

 Welcome back to my very long list of LGBTQIA+ books, and here we are with part two. If you haven't seen all the books from part one I would suggest a quick read.

 There are some absolutely amazing books in both lists. Let's hope I can find something that tickles your fancy. 

We're going to continue with the whole "I'll do this in ten words" synopses again, because I think that worked quite well last time. Plus it makes it easier for you guys to see if you want to look into it more from the description I give. Let's get going!
  • Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson (All Volumes) - Summer camp with queer girls, mystical beings and adventure.
  • Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - Queer Aliens in a space squad versus their government.
  • The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember - A Mermaid and a Viking in a re-imagined North Myth.
  • The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - Found family trope with queer sprinkled in, or Space Opera.
  • The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - A Gay retelling of the Greek Myth of Achillies.
  • The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon - Some Jewish Comic Book creators learn how to live.

  • Sawkill Girls by Claire Lagrand - Demons on an island with Lesbians and mystery.
  • The Hitman's Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love by Alice Winters - A cop and a hitman cross paths, and find love?
There you have it. The second in a long list of queer books. This is becoming a mammoth task. Every time I think I'm done, I find more Gay books. It's awesome. Not only am I helping you all find books, I'm helping myself!

 I hope you've found some gay books you'd like to read from this list. If not, worry not. I have one more list to come!

 For now though, Book Queen Out!
