Her: "Her royal Highness"
My brain, instantly jumping to red white & royal blue: "His royal Horniness"
A big THANK YOU to Alex & Henry for ruining my brain

I really need heartstopper to be on this list I read it online and it is just too good
A lgbtq+ book that I read and loved was
Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe 🥰

I didn't read it till August.

Ahhhh, I haven't read it either XD
Just want an LGBTQ section at the book store! So grateful for this video, can't wait to be able to relate to more books!
All of y’all need to read Red White and Royal Blue, it’s legit one of the best books out there, it will make you smile NON-STOP
Yesss Her Royal Highness was so good!!
I loved Felix Ever After so much. I related really strongly to Felix's struggles and it was just very powerful to me as a transmasc person.
thank you for all the support to us! as a part of the community, this means a lot
It was actually your vlog of Red White and Royal Blue what made me find you channel so it's always nice to have more books like that to read. Also, I relate so much in what you said about it and Cassie's books are definetely my favs
I loved Red white and royal blue... It was everything I normally don't like with the politics being so high focused but it's impossible not to love this book and characters

I loved Her Royal Highness!! I honestly had no idea there was a first book in the series until I was already halfway through it. You def don’t need to read the first book to read this one. So good!!!
Her Royal Highness is so good!!! And Royals!!!
Call me by your name by Andre Aciman.They both die at the end, What if it's us by Adam Silvera, Heartstopper(comic) by Alice Oseman, Fence(comic) by Cs Pacat, Bloom(Comic)by kevin Panetta are also great gay books to read. The brutal truth, breaking character, shattered, a change in script, hotel queens, red files by Lee winter are great lesbian novels.
I always get so excited when you upload😁💜
Cinderella is Dead is also really good!!!
I've heard that Cinderella is Dead has some pretty gross attitudes towards being closeted, which makes me hesitant to pick it up. But a lot of these books sound great (and a few were already on my tbr), I'll have to look into them.
Now that you mention that I can see why people feel that way. It’s a good thing to point out just in case it might trigger someone
I love you so much wish more people knew your channel🦋💙
Awe I love you too and thank you 🥺💜
Hey Peyton, I was just wondering out of all the books you ever read who is your favourite character? Mine is probably Annabeth Chase or Finnick Odair! LOve your videos so much xxx (It would be so cool if you did a tier ranking of some top characters in all the book series, I love all your tier ranking ones especially hunger games characters)!
Annabeth is my fav character too!
My favorite LGBTQIA+ book is “Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda” yes it’s cliché but I just love it so much and it warms my heart, loved the vid Peyton!
Ahhhh I still need to pick up my copy of Cinderella is Dead 💀
I love that book too! lol Red, White, and Royal Blue 💙 I read it a second time right after finnishing it, cause I wanted to go thru the whole story again. I was waiting for the romance to begin, and it when it finally happened, I was hooked into it. It took me like three sittings to finnish the book. I was hesistant cause of the political things involved prior to getting it, but it wasn't that confusing to me.
The writing in the beginning for me was a little difficult tbh, only cause I had just finnished reading another book minutes before, Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, and the style and vocab are very different. It took me a little while to adjust but was worth the strain. Lol I was literally reading it slower than usual, and as I progressed, started to speed up. I also recommend that book I mentioned. The intimate scenes might seem a little lewd maybe? Someone other book-tuber mentioned it was lewd lol it kinda is a little graphic ngl. It was really cute though too, if you haven't read it. I had just got the sequel to that as well, and will start that one after im done reading another book, Boyfriend Material lol... RWARB has weirdly raised my interest in British culture. Lol that's why I got the BM book. Hope it's good.
Also, loved your reviews on the books! I haven't read any of the other ones except the obvious one. Cool beans 😁 will check in on any other mm romance recs you have. Thank you for the review. Hope you're happy and healthy during covid 🙃
Have you read the song of Achilles because it’s one of my fav and I think u might like it?
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 begging🙏
I recommend Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender. it's about the journey of a trans person of colour. it has lots of ups and downs and there's a lot of drama. definitely 10/10.
Who is your favourite TBOSAS character?
I would recommend "One Last Stop" also by Casey McQuiston- a genius writer. It's a wlw story and it is absolutely fantastic. I love it to pieces.
(also: MALEC YASSSS I LOVE THEM MORE THAN ANYTHING INCLUDING MYSELF! and I just got the new collectors edition of RWARB and I am so happy its adorable its my fave book ever I have two copies I am in love)
I read Felix Ever After because of you mentioning in previous videos, and I loved it!
If you're ever looking for another really cute book to read Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu was really good.
How have you already read all of these? I've been trying to get to them for so long and I never have the time.
The infinite noise is lne of the best lgbt books I've read along with heartstopper 1,2,3, and 4 along with 5(future, but I know it'll be good)
*happy bi noises*
Ah yes the happy ✨bi noises✨
Loved Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston and I absolutely adore I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver, it was the first ever book I read with a nonbinary main character, and being nb myself, it was really important to me. That being said, if you enjoyed that book you might also want to read Can’t Take That Away by Steven Salvatore, which is about a genderqueer teenager fighting for their rights, a great story about activism and being true to oneself, and Cemetary Boys by Aiden Thomas, which is about a gay latino trans teen trying to prove his place in his brujx community (did I mention the fantasy and ghosts aspect of this book? Stunning!) and falling in love along the way. Both books are own voices, to my knowledge.
No books by Becky Allbertalli?? 😢😢
What are all the flags for in your books?
Try Rare Gems by D. A. Murray available on Amazon now!
I love these recommendations ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What about Alexander Chees' Edinborough!
I recently read Cinderella Is Dead. I wanted to give it 4 but lowered it to a 3 on GR.
I Think I Love You and Date Me Bryson Keller are two gay books that I found in my school library and they were both pretty good
The end of her royal highness made me cry. So sweet
I'd always recommend Sherlock Holmes as a queer serie, nothing can make me change my mind
I’m going down the rabbit hole of book recommendations on CZcams looking for lgbtq books that I can read at school and that my mom wouldn’t find inappropriate.
thanks for these recs !!!
No problem!
red, white & royal blue is one of the best books ive ever read
I Wish You All the Best is one of my favorite books.
looks like my tbr just got longer
"Her Royal Harness" thats a very different kind of book LMAO
Darius the Great is Not Okay was good toooo
🌈💜
Felix Ever After is my favorite read of this year! Cemetery Boys, a m/m (with a latinx trans boy mc-own voices), is a close second.
Everyone should read The Binding ❤❤❤
Love youuu ❤❤
Can I buy you Warbreaker?
I wish there was a translation of red, white and royal blue to my language :(( I want to read it :(
16:42 your litterly the only other person I've seen that has read shadow hunters , they made it a series on netflix
freeform actually made it and I'm only watching the show for malec.
@@Electroclan17 thx for telling me,I am too I ship them so much
i wish you all the best is just so good
"What if its us" is so amazing I sat down and read it for 7 hours straight because I absolutely love it.
Did you know the sequel is coming out this December? I’m so excited
I really loved criers war the sequel iron heart was good but not as great as the first book
Not to be rude, but if you're not in the lgbt community, please don't say queer. It's a slur. Anyway great video love the books
I'm bisexual, and I've never herd queer being used as a slur or insult. A lot of people identify as queer, I don't get the problem. Could you please explain
@@helenahaaland1424 it's been used as an insult for lgbt people for centuries. I know lots of people have reclaimed it but most people still consider it a slur, including myself.
I’m also apart of the community and I’ve never encountered anyone who felt this way. I’ve only seen people use it as a way to identify themselves and take the word back after it was slur back in the day. But still I’m sorry if it rubbed you personally the wrong way
@@PeytonReads ah I didn't know you were in the community, sorry. My point is that lots of people, including me, still view is as a slur and think non-lgbt people shouldn't say it. I personally would be offended if anyone called me qu//r, but i totally get you & others wanting to reclaim it.
No worries! I just haven’t spoken about it publicly yet so there’s no way for you to have known. I totally get what you’re saying. I agree that if someone used that word as a way of insult it definitely wouldn’t okay.
We publish MM TG Interracial Romance. Check us out in the about section. Thank you!
Whenever you want to reread RWRB my dms are open👀👀🥺🥺
Famous Anus by Jordan Power is an awesome LGBT book. Very funny.
I DIDNT EVEN KNOW CINDERELLA IS DEAD IS QUEER!! FUCK YES I’M EVEN HAPPIER I BOUGHT IT
Dang, the likes was the 666 number, I have saved all of you. It's now 667. You're welcome.
Never. That lifestyle is wrong. It’s a sin. Gods Word comes before your feelings.
This poison should be banned wtf are you doing???
Boooooooo
