One of my favorite books is called "They Both Die at the End." In a world where you get a call from a place called Death-Cast saying that within the next 24 hours you will die, these two boys recive the call. Theres this app called the Last Friend app made to help these people make "last friends." The two boys meet up and enjoy their last day together. I cant say much else without spoiling it but this book broke me. Like i cant even word how much this book just amazed me. Learning about the boys trauma, knowing they're going to die, the romance, all of it was just like, wow. Highly recommend.
I absolutely LOVED that book. I cried after

Aristotle and Dante!!đAnd so many other books I still need to readđłïžâđ

When she said..." I need to reread it" about the book Autobiography... It happened to me when i read Aristotle and Dante: Discovering the Universe.
I was In love with it.
@@isissoraya7223 I can relate.
@@isissoraya7223 You should try out
In The Closet: A gay Romance by Ecops Dee..
Both these recommendations and your eyeliner are so good!!
thank you!
HIGHLY recommend Magnus Chase and other Rick riordan books. The main character (Magnus) is bi or pan (idk which). another main character is gender fluid. It isnât cannon, but basically everyone ships hearthstone and blitzen (both guys). Also the god Loki is gender fluid. In other Percy Jackson books, the author confirmed Percy is bi and piper is also bi. Epilogue is bi, nico is gay and will is gay or bi. There are even more lgbtq plus characters. Itâs also got an AMAZING plot. :D
yesss!! also what?!?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW PERCY WAS BI?!?! when did he say that?
while i did very much enjoy the series, i don't believe it's a good pick if you're searching for books for lgbtq people. i personally (and many other lgbt people) have felt that the representation really wasn't that well written, and it's not the main focus either, so if you're going into it FOR the representation, i do not think you will be satisfied.
@@applepi3864 I guess since it was written like over a decade ago, for kids, it wouldnt be super oublicly accepted if the bi characters were out and representation was a focus. But im glad the newer books have more rep
Wait what i didnât know Percy was bi
Whaaaaaaa- Percy isn't bi!
the way sheâs so excited when she speaks I ADORE IT
red white and royal blue is such a good book too
Omg yes that one is my favorite book of all time I have read it 3 times thatâs how good it is
Hi,
I stopped the video after you talked about "Autobiography" and looked for it and read it. And that was just yesterday night!
I mean, I just finished it. Wow. Thank you so much! I didn't know what I was going to find when I typed "gay books" on youtube yesterday after I was feeling really bad for this boy that broke my heart.
Thank you for the book recommendations. My heart is much better now after that reading.
You got a fan from Colombia now :)
thank you so much :') im so glad you enjoyed it! one of my favorites
Me tooo I loved it
Your comment is the sweetest thing ever
OMG!!! I did exactly the same thing!
Love this so much! Ari & Dante is one of my favorite books ever. Autoboyography was also great!
both phenomenal books !!!!
I read the first book you recommended and I loved it itâs literally my new favorite book so I think Iâm gonna try and read every book on your list
oh my goodness that is so wonderful to hear!! im so glad you enjoyed :')
I love autoboyography. I've just finished reading it and i read it because of your video! I was hoping to get the physical very copy soon!
it's soooo good! im glad you enjoyed
Me toooo I loved it
âthe song of achillesâ is awesome!!! the ending almost made me cry hahaha
it got me sobbing
Youâre very good with your words. Youâre so expressive. Itâs amazing.
I think the main character of The Prince and the Dressmaker is genderfluid because they said they often feel like a princess.
ahhhh I love that book đđđ
@@pluto1012 Same :)
omg spinning and aristotle and dante were amazing
When she said:
Harry Potter but if Drarry was real...
O.M.G
ahhhhhhhhhh
I loved the way you explained these books, and I also enjoyed a lot of them! Iâm eager to read autoboyography now.
P.S. Youâre also sooo pretty and i love your makeup (:
yay, thank you so much!
THE MUSIC OF WHAT HAPPENS IS AMAZING PLEASE READ IT
Heartstopper is my favorite series of all time, still waiting on the fourth book! It's a literal fanfiction come to life in a comic
I'm currently reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe for my individual reading assignment at school this semester. So far, I love it!
I had "Rainbow Rowell Carry on" on the read list but when she said it's "Darry version" if that was a thing... that was my clue to read it.... definately gonna read Autobiography...
where's red, white and royal blue????
Song of Achilles uff đłâ€ïžđłâ€ïžđłâ€ïž
that book HURT me
Bloom was like the first lgbt book I ever read and I LOVED it
im in love with your content, you're amazing!!
thank you love!
Loving the recommendation and loving your voice on the platform. Keep em coming please
Thank you! Will do!
Which books have you read as of recent?
so many good recs, thank you so much for this video
Omg, I would love to be your friend in real life. Thank you so much for this
Nikole Knightâs Fire and Brimstone series is *chefâs kiss*
Awesome video thanks for the recs! A wlw graphic novel that I really really enjoyed was Beetle and the Hollowbones by Alizia Layne. Really sweet art and storyline. Would highly recommend ( :
thanks so love!
I just read Bloom!! Very good book!
(Edit: i just realized I have read the first three graphic novels in the video!)
Three words: captive. prince. trilogy.
thank you!!!! I've been trying to find books that represent LGBTQ
thanks for watching! I have an updated recommendation list that is much longer here too, if you want to check that out! czcams.com/video/2XDGINNtJFk/video.html
@@asunnybooknook omg yay thank you!!!!
I highly recommend TJ Kluneâs books:
The house in the cerulean sea
The Green Creek series
Under the Whispering Door
The Extraordinaries
TJ Klune writes queer books so well, I always find myself falling in love with the characters and the world around them
Off context, But I love your eyeliner !!
Every time I see the Carry On book Cover I see Newt Scamander and Sasuke Uchiha.
Why... Why would you do this..? My eyes, they can not forget
@@username5606 Iâm sorry, itâs too late.
If you like comedy i would highly recommend tales from verania by tj klune it is one of my favourites
I HIGHLY recommend Heartstopper and The Prince and the dressmaker. They are both graphic novels for all the graphic novel lovers out there, and Heartstopper was even so good it got a Tv show before the 2nd book was even realeased. 18:00 Heartstopper 21:20 The Prince and the dressmaker Also, the Prince and the dressmaker is about a transgender boy who is in love with dresses, so he hired a dressmaker to make him dresses and he went out to parties
This one's more teenage than YA but "I'll give you the sun" by Jandy Nelson. Oh. My. God. It follows two twins; Noah and Jude. Noah's perspective is him at 13+ where he struggles being bullied for his sexuality. We see Jude at 16+ and slowly discover more about why his brother isn't how he used to be as well as hearing about her struggles with expressing emotion and finding love. Heart wrenching and amazing story
i am in love with that book!! i've read it three times already, which is very rare for me.
I would recommend the books I'm a Gay Wizard and Tell Me Again how a Crush should Feel.
I've read some of the books on your list so I already know that the rest are perfect!!!
yay!!! so good to hear
Oh and there is a movie called red,white and royal blue it is blb book and i loved it but they also have a book version of it but it was so funâ€âșïž
My fav BL novel of Mo Dao zu shi is Grand master of demonic cultivation is really awesome
Broo me too
Me wanting to get some book recommendations after I finished reading ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF UNIVERSE
and this is the third reccmnd video I saw
And all the three reccmnd videos I saw had ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF UNIVERSE as the first choice
and I am not even surprised
full disclosure was gonna be the next book I read lol, Iâm glad you said it was good .
Iâve so loved Autoboyography
I loved Carry On .....
Im gonna start reading Autoboygraphy next
Carry On is my favorite
The Simon Snow series gets better in the third book, in my opinion at least!
Hello LGBTQ Community đđ€
Thank you for this I needed more to read after finishing call me by your name
omg slc utah ? i live there shut up iâm gonna read it nowđ also ty for the recs!! iâve been needing some books to read and this helped a lot !
Off topic, but ur eyeliner-
when she said "...if drarry was real..." bro i wrote the name of the book on my TBR so quick-
You should read mo dao zu shi or grandmaster of demonic cultivation! Or the novels written by mxtx... She writes awesome BLs!!! I also recommend heaven officials blessings too!
Love your personality đđ„° and the recs đłïžâđ
thank you
I have my first LGBTQ+ book from our classical supporter Alice Oseman and it is called "Loveless". For those who don't know yet or haven't figured out based on the title and you want to know before you read it, then..... keep scrolling on this comment! đđâš
It is pretty much based on a young adult girl who doesn't know that she is Aroace (yet), and she goes into college trying to find a S/O wether it's a boy or a girl or Non-binary or Agender! She likes to read fanfictions *(like most of us)* and believes that she will find her true love during college! And she's trying to figure out wether she's bi, lesbian, or pan ect. And soon enough she finds the terms of Asexual and aromantic. And yeah, the story goes on đ *(BTW she's still learning new gender and sexuality term so she didn't know that the ace spectrum exist, and I'm still reading this book I recommend it tho! So go check it out when and if you can!)*
FYI. I have read a book âStreet Kid: A Rent Boyâs Taleâ by
can literally anyone, everyone recommend a book/series/film/show anything that is ab a romance between two characters (preferably queer) that has you literally holding your breath until the very last second? i want close encounters, i want denial, i want hands skimming and blushing deeper than a fire hydrant and infectious smiles and the "OH MY GOD JUST KISS ALREADY" vibes. anything ranging from cute and nerve racking to the kind of sensual that breeds butterflies and shivers down your spine. i just finished watching Young Royals and i need more please i'm on my knees beggingđ
watch the show called "the wilds" i dont wanna spoil it and dont look up its edit before finishing! its towards the end and its sooo good new season is also coming
Red White and Royal Blue is THE best lgbt book ive ever read. You should definitely try it
I totally loved the books.
I have read them all..
Thank your very much.â€ïžâ€ïž
đđ
im so glad you like them!
I read ROOMMATE by Sarina Bowen
It's good!
I read autoboyography as a baby bi and it was a really nice book, but reading it again later, I realised it was a bit more nuanced than I first thought and could perceive. First, the love corner (makes more sense than a love triangle in my head) made me uncomfortable because I thought it played into the "all bi people are players" kinda stereotype, but looking back, we can undesrtand how that was really his personal fault and he takes responsability for his actions (and suffers a bit of the consequences too) and a product of the situation, then again, he is the only bi character so it's still a bit ://///, but I still think it's a good read, especially to read first as a baby gay and later as a more developed person with a more developed identity, and a deeper undestanding of the nuances of sexuality
sorry for the massive comment!!!
Hey, just found your channel! Great recommendation video...Aristotle and Dante, Autoboyography, Miseducation of Cameron Post, and Song of Achilles are some of my all-time favorites. I haven't read, or come across, Is Gender Fluid or Full Disclosure before, but thanks to your recs I'm going to check them out. Have you read Peter Darling by Austin Chant (own voice trans rep, Peter Pan retelling) or Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera (own voice queer & poc rep)?
yay!!! I have not read those yet, but they are on my TBR for sure! thanks for watching :,)
I am obsessed with Peter Darling
the song of achilles made me cry my eyes out, but i still LOVED it!
Omg Iâm obsessed with call me by your name. Maybe you should make a video about what books the character Elio in the movie would read or something like that
Can you do a review on the boy who fell from the stars
Thanks đ
What is the book called thatâs behind you at the beginning of the video. The one with a woman painted with blue and red.
I have to be the only person who doesn't like Carry On. I think my number one reason is because of the fact that it's a spin off of Harry Potter. It feels too fanfictiony to me. (There's nothing wrong with ff, but I don't see that as something that should be published, I feel the same for Leah on the off beat, feels like it's fanfiction for the authors own novel)
yeah that's totally fair! I know a lot of people who aren't a fan lol. im honestly kind of into a fan fiction-y writing style so like??? it worked for me lol
iâm pretty sure thatâs the whole point bcs of the book fangirl
If these books got adapted into live action, then it would be one of biggest achievements of 21th century Cinemađ
đAutoboyographyđ
đCarry Onđ
đProsper Woods Chronicles (Series)đ
đRED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUEđ
đThe Darkness Outside Usđ

@@emeliasversion i have a lot more than 10 too, but the physical copies of unread books i currently own is around that number
@@readyfreddie1256 ohh I get what your saying. so this is kinda random, but you should read âdate me bryson kellerâ. itâs a cute, gay romance novel and i read it in one day. i suck at explaining books, so iâm not gonna try, but just try it out. itâs literally amazing!
sorry if this is weird question but whats the book you move at 2:54
