What are your fave lgbt/sapphic books? What does gal pal need to read next?? 🌈 If u want more gay books, here’s Galpal’s Top 10 Sapphic Books: czcams.com/video/vORFZ5VGOAk/video.html
They Both Die at the End and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo are great for some darker/sadder reads. Based on the genres of the books in this video, I would definitely check out The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinka or any of Alice Osemans books!
I’m down to have more videos of book recommendations :) love the way they are presented, the summary, the PG rating and how safe it is to read in public. It comes through as a video in which the content is really well thought out and I appreciate the time, the intention and the energy invested into creating it :)
Thank you for sharing this! Also, have two book recommendations, they are not fantasy but more like history fiction: In the Blood of the Greeks (set in WWII, a rebellious Greek girl falls in love with a German daughter of a Nazi general) and The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics (set in the 1800s, two ladies work together to write and publish an astronomy book going against the male disapproval of that time). Hope you have a chance to give them a try 😊
My Fav lgtb book for ages 12-15 ish is The Coldest Touch which is a fantasy book about a vampire girl and a curved girl who hate each other and are scared of each other b it are forced to help one another but after spending time together start to grow feelings as well
I’ve missed these videos so much! And omg thank you for the book recs (I must admit just by looking at the thumbnail I know I have read a lot of them already haha)!! I hope you and Galpal are doing well 💜💜
I wish I had LGBTQIA+ book recommendations to give. But I just haven't read many gay books. I'm trying to find more gay books, so this is defiantly going to help me.
I recommend: They Both Die at the End (really sad homosexual love story) by Adam Silvera What if it's Us? By Adam Silvera Here's to Us By Adam Silvera, the sequel to the previous book
@@galpal Holy crap you should really read it. They Both Die at the End was my first exposure to LGBTQ+ romantic stories (never read romantic stuff in general) and it was really great :)
honestly, #1 sounds really fun, also the last one too (i might steal those of galpals shelf, i haven't really explored fantasy but they seem cute) and thank you! i shall pass on ur thanks to gal pal!
@@laurenelloise - Yes, you're so right. The word 'medieval' turned me off somewhat (it's a word I use with people who are old fashioned - haha) but it does seem like a really good read. And the # 1 review, well, that's right up my alley. Btw - what happened to the vlogs along the Australian coast? Is that all in the past?
Love ur vids ❤ and really want to support you but bc of my homophobic parents I’m not out yet and can’t buy the merch 😭 Thank you so much for helping me cope with everything.
YOU MUST BE MY SOULMATE!!!!! I love “She Gets the Girl” with all of my heart it is amazing really and the one with Dante and Ari I read too. It was pretty nice.
You helped me realise I was gay. I follow you ever since love your video's especially the book recommendations, I can't never find any good books myself so thank youu ❤️
I love to see my fav book in here, also so many other books that i should check out. I hope you and galpal are doing well and if you liked sweet and bitter magic I'd recomend sofi and the bone song its by the same auther and its a fantasy book and a bit enemies (tho more one sided) to friends to lovers, also the seven husbands of evelyn hugo is a really good one. loved the video, i love it when you do the 12 gays of chrismas
Hi one tip I haven’t watched the whole vid yet so I’m not sure if you included this book, but YOU HAVE TO READ “She gets the girl” it is my absolute favorite book I love it so much.😊 And I’m sorry I’m spamming about this book Lauren.
This is so awesome I love it. So glad you are doing the 12gays of Christmas they are always fun to watch. Gal pal, I love the video. You should take over Lauren's videos more. Great recommendations. Thank you The Bone spindle sounds like such a fun read Stay safe you two. Stay you.
Great recommendation video by Galpal! Maybe she should take over your chanel once in a while! Unfortunately I don't much lately as I'm listening to many podcasts.
I can 100% recommend “one last stop“ it is my favourite book. It is just partly save for people who are not out. On the cover you can’t see anything but on the backtext it is partly clear queer
My favorite LGBTQ books In the ravenous dark by a.m Strickland No strings attached by Rachel Lacey Boyfriend material by alexis hall Bear otter and the kid by t.j Klune
you should be able to get them all from most books stores, or if you can't find one, you can try an online bookshop. also i checked last night that every single one of these can be found on audible if u prefer to listen
Love every book list you can give us! So def moreee ^^ Also thanks for the reminder on the last video (although I have notifications on anyway :3) Idk if galpal knows, but the sequel for malice is out now, I have not read it, but will soon (it's in my shelf atm) I will def check out everafter! Thanks for the recommendations, happy day to you two and keep... gaying on? xD idk 😊 I will recommend the book I recommend last time a well :3 if you haven't read it yet. Auroras Angel by Emily Noon I can't not recommend it, sorry 😊
If anyone wants another queer book, I suggest I kissed Shara Wheeler, its a mystery romance, its really good! Also please do more book vids, this was really nice, and I will be checking some of these books out!
book rec i have given like all my friends: “dreadnaught” by april daniels, and its sequel sovereign, trans superhero story, gets very sapphic in the second book and the 3rd is currently in the works
There’s a chance that you won’t see this, but I was wondering if you could do a video of doing the best LGBTQ graphic novels because I am going to this phase where I only read graphic novels😭
could i have some appropriate aroace book recommendations? I need books that arent like visibly lgbtqia+ until you read them becuase my parents.... well they'e not really supportive of lgbt and i havent come out yet either so...
she did read that one! 💗 and she reviewed it in her first book video: Top 10 Sapphic Books | Lesbian Book Recommendations czcams.com/video/vORFZ5VGOAk/video.html
Now, this wasn’t in it but my favorite and first every LGBTQ+ book I’ve read is “Some Girls Do” by Jennifer Dugan. It is my absolute favorite and I extremely recommend it.
Oh yeah I think I saw that on Amazon or something I’m thinking about getting it. Isn’t it the same author as “Melt With You”? Or am I getting confused with someone else?
If you haven’t already seen me spamming about my favorite book “She Gets the Girl” check it out. It’s also LGBTQ+ and about two girls who don’t like each other at first but then fall in love. I just love the character Alex and the emotions in the book are so real.
I really enjoyed Cinderella is Dead. It's set 100 years after Cinderella looking at how her story corrupted society. The main character is lesbian trying to avoid a forced marriage.
yes i think gal pal briefly mentioned that one in her first book review! she's definitely read it and liked it! czcams.com/video/vORFZ5VGOAk/video.html
I'm not a huge fan of the bone spindle, it's honestly a hetero story with a lesbian in the story who has the most awkward out of place romance that was obviously shoved in last minute for whatever reason.
Super embarrassing story, or kind of coming up. So I am sailing with my family and our crew. When the two of them came just around a month ago, they gave me to books I had longed for for a long time. They just didn’t know those two books were LGBTQ+… Just around a week or two ago the woman asked me if she could read the ones they gave me. (Me sweattttting sooo bad.) I sent a look toward my mom like “any other book” but I still gave it to them. I was blushing almost every second for the week or something they read the book/now both of them. It’s how I came out as bisexual I guess to them and it was super embarrassing and weird for no reason. Well bye!

The Midnight Lie and This Posion Heart are probably my favorites. I recently read The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea and it was really good.
I recently read a graphic novel called the girl from the sea and it is short but sweet.
Here’s to us, Heartstopper, and Youngblood are my favorites
I love the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo as well!!
This video will be so useful for me. Lol I can never find good LGBTQIA+ books to read. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos!💗🏳️🌈
yaaayyy this makes me so happy!!! really glad we decided to make this video! tysm for the support, truly means the world
I’m glad you liked it! Ty ❤❤
I found a book at my school called rick by Alex gino
Ik I have spammed some comments on this vid abt my tips for “She Gets the Girl” but honestly you HAVE to read it.
gal pal is the librarian we all needed in primary school
AGREEE
Ooo hey Galpal, you should take over another video because you are just amazing. You and Lauren are the cutest couple ever

I recommend:
They Both Die at the End (really sad homosexual love story) by Adam Silvera
What if it's Us? By Adam Silvera
Here's to Us By Adam Silvera, the sequel to the previous book
I’ve been meaning to read They Both Die at the End for so long!! Maybe I should do a sad reads recommendation 😅❤
@@galpal Holy crap you should really read it. They Both Die at the End was my first exposure to LGBTQ+ romantic stories (never read romantic stuff in general) and it was really great :)
This is great info. Review # 1 will be my 1st read. Thanks Gal Pal ! This was a great idea. Kudos to both of you.

Love ur vids ❤ and really want to support you but bc of my homophobic parents I’m not out yet and can’t buy the merch 😭 Thank you so much for helping me cope with everything.

Of course!! super important to my audience
She Gets The Girl by Rachel Lippincott & Alyson Derrick (they are actually lovers)
Also aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe
YOU MUST BE MY SOULMATE!!!!! I love “She Gets the Girl” with all of my heart it is amazing really and the one with Dante and Ari I read too. It was pretty nice.
I love author TJ Klune! Specifically House in the Cerulean Sea. The Princess Beard by Kevin Hearne. The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow!
You helped me realise I was gay. I follow you ever since love your video's especially the book recommendations, I can't never find any good books myself so thank youu ❤️

I can 100% recommend “one last stop“ it is my favourite book. It is just partly save for people who are not out. On the cover you can’t see anything but on the backtext it is partly clear queer
I highly recommend the book You Know Me Well by Nina Lacour
You forgot What Is It's Is and Here's To Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Abertalli.... Anything by either of those authors
