    Tysm! As a lesbian I struggle to find books that I'm interested in bc all of them have forced straight relationships in them or have the ocassional gay cis male masc relationship.

      That's true. I wish there'd be more lesbian or bisexual girls in "normal" books. I mean books that are about something else, not about the love story...

      cherry noodles Oh my gosh I know or they end very badly or they are very sexual or they’re not well written at all. I am a bit picky LOL

      If you're on Wattpad, I suggest "When Best Friends Kiss". It has a lot of lesbian, bisexual and non-binary character. Even a transgender person! The main character is a gay guy though.
      And I also have a few other LGBTQ book suggestions on Wattpad except I have to check the names again...

    Wonderful video! Fall is my favourite time of year, so I love to have books that are perfect for the season and a lot of these look really good! Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for reading right now, but they are still going on my list for the future!

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      Thank you! I'm not a big seasonal reader, but sometimes I like to read something atmospheric.Hope you'll enjoy them when you'll have the time :)

    A good book that I just read that fits into this category is Confucius Jane, by Katie Lynch. I think that you will like it.

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      I've seen the tittle, but wasn't very interested. Thanks for bringing my attention to it :*

  • @okayokayval
    @okayokayval Před 7 lety

    The graphic novel Skim by Mariko & Jillian Tamaki is great for Fall! It has a back to school feel, it's kind of witchy, and it has a protagonist who is questioning/exploring her sexuality.

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      I've been looking for it for a while now. All the reviews are raving... no luck though

    Great video! It's exactly what I was searching for. I'm always looking for lgbtq+ books but I want to read a book that just INCLUDES a love story of two girls but is not only ABOUT that love story. thanks!
    I love your accent. where are you from?

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 6 lety

      I'm glad you found it helpful

    @Secretgirl97 Před 7 lety

    TBH i always felt that Fingersmith was a very autumn book because its in London and London is the most fall like place XD (so rainy rainy rainy)
    I reeeaaaallly want to read Oranges are not the only fruit it you make it sound so good.

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      You know that I love everything Sarah Waters ever published, but if I mention this one more time people will start throwing rotten tomatoes at me :DIt's soooooo good!

    • @Secretgirl97
      @Secretgirl97 Před 7 lety

      Looooool maybe not though? if it suits the theme XD but i guess its true you cant recommend fingersmith in every video lol XD

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      I wish I could though :D

    • @Secretgirl97
      @Secretgirl97 Před 7 lety

      you could do it subliminally? Leave the book facing the audience on the shelf. on your desk. and just... casually nudge it during the video XD

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 7 lety

      Secretgirl97 ahahaha omg i might actually do that, but only you will recognize it :D

    You are the best at queer reads. I love your videos and the books are alway awesome. Thanks for them!
    I loved Ash, it was just perfect for a fairytale retelling. It was beautiful and the way they fall in love made me fall in love too.
