HAVE YOU EVER READ A WLW BOOK? I was 24 when i read my first one yikes, i wish there was more around when i was younger🌈 please leave your lesbian/sapphic book recs below, bc maybe a gay reading this might really like that book! (and also so galpal can read more lol) P.S. if you rather watch gay things than read, we rated lesbian kisses from movies/shows → czcams.com/video/D6v6ThsnTrY/video.html
@@FALLEN_ANGEL871 the internet can help you with that. All the books are also online. I assume by your comment you are from a country where being gay is illegal, so just remember to use private browsing and maybe even a VPN just to stay save. If you can't buy them any way cause it is not allowed in your country (amazon etc), I think by far most authors would not mind you getting an 'illegal' copy, since there is no way for you to acquire it legally.
You need to read ´she gets the girl´ by Alyson Derrick and Rachael Lippincott, it's such a lighthearted, nice and quick read with no unnecessary drama. I finished it in two sittings cause it was so good
i like how you also include if the cover is explicitly queer for people who want to be more discrete/are in the closet!! that's really thoughtful of you and very helpful for a lot of us!!
Thank you for the recomendations gal pal! I like to read and would love to start reading LGBTQ books! Please do a part two sometime i would really apprreciate it!
She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen is a really good WLW Book❤!! It's a coming of age book with a lot of good late 70's to 90's romance trops. Good for 14 and up😀
Omgg how do you post at the right timee seriously I've been lately reading LOTS of wlw books thanks youu soo much for the recommends! And try : 1.everything leads to you ✨ 2. She gets the girl 😭 Both em are sooo cutee wlw books and I'm definitely trying all the books u recommended ❤️ Thankssss love you Lauren! Hope you have a great dayy🌈💕
ahhhh I’m so happy this is the perfect timing for you 🙈🌈 and thank you for these! I’ve noted them down to tell gal pal! And let me know if you end up liking any of the books gal pal recommended! Hope you’re day is lovely 🥰💜
Thank you so much for these!! I have been looking all over for gay books but you just made it a whole lot easier. We all need more gayness in our lives ;)
im so glad ive found your channel and idk if you will see my comment but if you do i just want you to know how much of an inspiration you two are than being in the closet can get better. and it has saved me soooo much work with you saying if its safe or not thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️
I read nevernight. Its great, can recommend. I have three recommendations for you two! 1. Malice by heather walter. Amazing story about basically being an outcast who can not be cast out. The MC is 'bad' or at least everyone else thinks so (not gonna spoil) also the ending will definitely surprise you. love it 2 Aurora's angel by emily noon is my personal favorite book ever. it is her first and only book (so far) and its a really nice fantasy story about an avian woman and a feline like character travelling together through this magical land after the avian broke her wings and I'm all for it. 3. Its a series. Soldier of Dorsa by Eliza Andrews is the first in the series. Its also fantasy (you might see a theme here with the stuff i read ^^) kinda medieval with magic, but it doesnt really turn too magic until the second book. Difficult to tell what its about without spoiling stuff, just read it, its great. Have a lovely day you two, kisses from Germany
I’m currently in the car with gal pal and quickly mentioned the books you recommended! Pretty sure she read malice like a week ago haha 🌈 and tysm for adding your recommendations 💜 have a lovely day too !! Love all the way from Australia!
@@galpal i did a little oopsy. Soldier of dora is the second in the series, princess of dorsa is the first! Also have fun reading, i certainly got some inspiration from your top 10! Cant wait for part 2 Wish you two a happy pride! You're really cute together ☺️
If any of you like light novels and manga, I have some recommendations: - The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady: the Main character is a canonical lesbian and she rescues this noble girl who was about to marry her brother. It’s a coming-out story through the noble’s girls perspective (since the main character is already out), mixed with isekai and magic. - girl friends: a manga about the shy girl in class that becomes friend with this super preppy girl. It’s a really cute and an honest coming-out story. It helped me out a lot. - how do we relationship?: a manga about these girls in college that get together since they’re the only lesbians at that college, mixed with being in a music band.
I would recommend "One last stop" by Casey McQuiston. It's a very cute romance with found family and so much queer rep. "Gideon the ninth" by Tamsin Muir is also an amazing book. It's not a romance, it's sci-fi/fantasy, but most of the characters are queer and the protagonist is a butch lesbian. One of my favorite books ever. "The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a very popular book (well deserved) that is *chefs kiss* I would also recommend "The falling in love montage" by Ciara Smith and "Heartsopper" (the series and the comics)
I just recently read Hani and Ishu and These Witches Don't Burn lol. Both were very fun and I'd read them again. Also, currently reading She Drives Me Crazy.
Hey Lauren and Gal Pal, you guys are the cutest couple ever plus it’s so good to see you guys so happy. You guys are just the best and I always love watching your videos. Omg ilysm and your videos, I’ve watched all of them and I never get bored. Could you please give me a shoutout in your next video, you will honestly make my year xx 💗💗
I was looking for a new book to read and when your video came out i was most interested in the strange world travel agency and I bought it . :D I really love your videos
My absolute top WLW books is Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake; it's a rom com, there's some genuinely funny moments, but also a lot of cute, sweet and hot stuff. I'm genuinely in love with it and will recommend it until the end of time.
I had to skip the part about The Priory of the Orange Tree, I'm currently reading it!! I recommend "Breaking Legacies" by Zoe Reed, I love it so much. And Gentleman Jack is *chef's kiss*
also for books that are not safe to ask your parent or other people to buy I just check out a digital copy from the library and read it on my kindle. this works because both my library account and my amazon account are through my email.
My favorite queer books that have just come out in the last couple years are “Some Girls Do”, “The lucky list”, and “Ophelia After All”. Love this vid, you guys are so cute! I’m reading Nevernight now!
Wishing you both a Happy Pride and I loved and enjoyed this video and your gal pal is amazing. Please more videos with gal pals only this was so great and thank you so much for letting me know about some great books
I've startet listening the nevernight series on spotify( I dont know if its available in English. But it is in German). I really like when a book breaks you in to thousands pieces. Not because you are sitting the next 2 days and can't stop thinking about how they could have avoided that. But because it shows that the book achieved what a book want to achieve. That you got emotionally hooked.
‘Everyone in this Room will Someday be Dead’ is a book I read recently with no real inclination as to what it was about except for the title. Picked it up randomly at an airport and it’s a book that I feel like a lot of people especially me can deeply relate too. Highly recommend ! Don’t think I’ve seen a lot of people talking about it !
Another sapphic book I've heard is really good is "Nightwood" by Djuna Barnes. Idk if is as great as they claim it to be since I'm currently reading it, but the reason I bought it is because is sapphic so... 😂
14:22 "Jay Kristoff is Australian so as you can imagine, the swearing is prolific." Are you ****ing ****ing me. We Aussies don't ****ing cuss like ******-****ing sailors.
imogen, obviously is one of my favourites along with some more books with romance sublots such as the priory of the orange tree and she who became the sun (the w/w 🌶🌶🌶 in that one was probably the best ive ever read)
OH MY GOSHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥺🥰🥰🥰 I truly appreciate your generosity and your support for my videos & channel, this means a lot to me. You are the first person to use that button, I only just found out about it! I hope you have an amazing weekend. Thank you again.
If you want more recs I just found a CZcamsr called Sappho’s library and she as a ton of recs! My own book recs: -The Girl from the Sea by Molly Ostertag is a really cute graphic novel -Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender, it’s mainly about the main character trying to find her mom (but has bullying and abandonment in book if you’re sensitive to that) -Star Crossed by Barbara Dee is a very innocent story of a girl who realizes she’s bi when she starts crushing on another girl. The 8th graders prepare to perform Romeo and Juliet which adds to the plot. Highly recommend! -Timekeeper trilogy (mlm) by Tara Sim is a steampunk gay romance, though I’d recommend it for older teens since there’s some darker topics introduced in the 2nd and 3rd books. I’m currently reading the third book and I feel like it’s such an underrated series None of these books have cover designs that would imply they’re queer, but the summaries do, in case you need to be careful about that. Happy reading!!!
I read a good bit of lesfic and some solid authors I've found are Haley Cass, Erica Lee, Nicole Pylund, Robin Alexander and Jae. A few good titles are Some Part of Me Is You, The Beast That Never Was and The Dark Wife. Most of these include physical stuff. Also some of these are on Kindle unlimited.
There is tv series, not sure if it was Netflix, that followed the same theme as the Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating. I don't think it was the full title but it was an English series about two girls who got together for the same reason. One was definitely from an Indian family but I'm not sure about the other.
Hey Lauren - I'm not sure about your financial situation but saw the Thanks button and thought I would contribute. I'm super gender fluid and love your stuff !!

@@laurenelloise Wow, can't believe I'm the 1st. I was thinking that you should have a Patreon account to help you financially. You're doing so much good for the lgbtq+ community, you're such an asset, I would definitely want to help you out. And I think others would too !
Oh don’t you worry, that video will be coming! We filmed it before our little trip away to Uluṟu a few weeeks ago, but I didn’t get to finish editing it. So hopefully that’ll be up after the Pride month stuff!!
Ah yes! I watched all of that! Actually couple months ago gal pal and I started to rewatch it for fun haha. Tis very good. Was like the first gay thing I watched just as I was realising I was not straight 🙈
I will definitely read all these books, and I would also recommend sweet and bitter magic, it’s about a witch and another girl who has magic powers and how they go from enemies to lovers
I’ve actually read a horror book called “the Fear Zone” by K.R. Alexander and there was a gay mlm couple later in the first out of two books. They even said once “i wonder if my mom will allow him to have a sleepover with me even though he is gay” and when they first met they had the POV where they said how cute the other boy was. I was in 4th or 5th grade (2 or 3 years ago) when i read it and it was awesome.
to young readers who aren't out of the closet, I'd recommend the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. It is a dystopian world separated by blood. Nothing will tell you it's gay, the front and the back don't say anything abt it. But in the 2nd or 3rd book it plants settle gay stuff. One of the characters has a gf sorta deal but she can't marry her, it doesn't ever say why as far as I'm reading it, probably you couldn't marry same-sex. But there isn't much.
I know anyone won’t see this]s and even tho it’s not a WLW centered book you should read When You Call My Name it’s about these 2 guys who are gay one is named Ben and the other is named Adam the book is set in the late 90s and has 2 storylines in one book it’s a little hard to understand at first and a little boring but the further you get it gets better
i actually tried to start reading this over the new year but i couldnt get into it / it was hard to read, even at a 26y/o. I'm going to give it another go at a later point haha
@@laurenelloise yeah 🤣 it is definitely hard with all the hard handwriting and words I had to finish it cause I got it from the library it was sucha struggle wouldn’t recommend it or read it again 🤣 I can’t wait to find a lesbian book to read 🥰
I'm planning on reading this poison heart in a few months I absolutely loved Cinderella is dead great read Hani and ishu guide to fake dating is really good
My best friend got me the fake dating book cause I’m not out of the closet yet and my mom can see everything book I buy so my friend got me this which is my first gay book i only have three
@@laurenelloise Yeah! In Israel we don't have almost any lgbtq+ books so it's really hard to find them because I can read them only online and it's less fun then holding an actual book but it's better then nothing owo so TY uwu (btw I might finally won't be single~ an amazing girl and I going on our 1 date in 3 days owowowowo~)
Aw man I can imagine that’s really hard for you! (I also love physical books a lot more). Hopefully some of these you’ll be able to read bc some are really really subtle. And also that’s so cute, I’m wishing you the best 💜💜

I have never read a wlw book and I don't think that there is one in my country but I find all your books interesting 😊
There’s a wlw book I read called “Girl crushed”

@@katieee4915 thanks for your advice 🙏
I haven't read that many which is why I am glad you made this. My favorite that i have read so far was The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski.
It breaks my heart that anyone should have to worry about book covers being safe. 🧡🌈
me too :( but I knew it’s something I really wanted to include in this video for others 🖤
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I had this bookmark with lgbtq+ on the front and I had to hide it from my parents but my dad ended up seeing it so I had to rip it apart LMAO
@@agus1dee 😭😭😭
Lol thats me
I love that you mentioned whether or not the books were safe for closeted people it's such a helpful thing to talk abt
You need to read ´she gets the girl´ by Alyson Derrick and Rachael Lippincott, it's such a lighthearted, nice and quick read with no unnecessary drama. I finished it in two sittings cause it was so good
Sounds like my kinda book!!
I love how you talk about if its safe for kids who are not out.
i like how you also include if the cover is explicitly queer for people who want to be more discrete/are in the closet!! that's really thoughtful of you and very helpful for a lot of us!!
Thank you for the recomendations gal pal! I like to read and would love to start reading LGBTQ books! Please do a part two sometime i would really apprreciate it!
I think gal pal would LOVE to do a part 2! She reads so so much and had a hard time picking just 10 for this video haha 🌈💜
It really was SO hard to pick only 10!
@@galpal Haha, yea I bet!
She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen is a really good WLW Book❤!! It's a coming of age book with a lot of good late 70's to 90's romance trops. Good for 14 and up😀

I read nevernight. Its great, can recommend.
I have three recommendations for you two!
1. Malice by heather walter. Amazing story about basically being an outcast who can not be cast out. The MC is 'bad' or at least everyone else thinks so (not gonna spoil) also the ending will definitely surprise you. love it
2 Aurora's angel by emily noon is my personal favorite book ever. it is her first and only book (so far) and its a really nice fantasy story about an avian woman and a feline like character travelling together through this magical land after the avian broke her wings and I'm all for it.
3. Its a series. Soldier of Dorsa by Eliza Andrews is the first in the series. Its also fantasy (you might see a theme here with the stuff i read ^^) kinda medieval with magic, but it doesnt really turn too magic until the second book. Difficult to tell what its about without spoiling stuff, just read it, its great.

If any of you like light novels and manga, I have some recommendations:
- The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady: the Main character is a canonical lesbian and she rescues this noble girl who was about to marry her brother. It’s a coming-out story through the noble’s girls perspective (since the main character is already out), mixed with isekai and magic.

Oooo thank you for these recs! I know I’ll probably see them on gal pals bedside table at some point!!!!
One last stop is amazing - my fav book of all time I’m sure you’ll love it gal pal

My absolute top WLW books is Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake; it's a rom com, there's some genuinely funny moments, but also a lot of cute, sweet and hot stuff. I'm genuinely in love with it and will recommend it until the end of time.
It's on the TBR shelf!! x

Ahhh let me know when you've finished Priory!!
It seems I’ve got some catching up to do on the reading front 😩 I’m missing out on sooo much
I read breaking legacies. It was really nice and sweet. Can recommend as well ☺️
Nice to see fellow Aussies on youtube 🥰
also for books that are not safe to ask your parent or other people to buy I just check out a digital copy from the library and read it on my kindle. this works because both my library account and my amazon account are through my email.
OMG I LOVE HANI AND ISHU HONESTLY THE BEST WLW REP IVE EVER READ (so far), ILL HAVE TO READ THE OTHERS THO
ALSO LAUREN READ HANI AND ISHUS GUIDE TO FAKE DATING ITS SO CUTE AND THE VERY OVERUSED TROPE ACTUALLY WORKS SO FREAKING WELL
Isn't it the cutest? The same author also has another book called The Henna Wars!
Okay okay you’ve got me 🙈 I shall make it my next read then!!! I think it sounds super cute, so excited to read
I love your accent and y'all are so smiley and cute! 😊 It made me feel so happy....sorry, so corny! Adding Priory of the Orange Tree to my TBR.

OH MY GOSHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥺🥰🥰🥰 I truly appreciate your generosity and your support for my videos & channel, this means a lot to me. You are the first person to use that button, I only just found out about it! I hope you have an amazing weekend. Thank you again.
I’d love to say thank you in a video, Would that be okay with you? (would sharing ur name be okay?)
@@laurenelloise Wow, can't believe I'm the 1st. I was thinking that you should have a Patreon account to help you financially. You're doing so much good for the lgbtq+ community, you're such an asset, I would definitely want to help you out. And I think others would too !
@@laurenelloise Omg, that would be so cool. You're actually making me blush ! Thank You !!!
@@laurenelloise I'm French Canadian so the pronunciation of my name is Ghee Prew (the lx at the end are silent).
This is such a coincidence bcs I’ve been looking for wlw books :) My favourite wlw book is ‘She gets the girl’. A wlw couple wrote it together 🥺
YES I must read it too! 💞
oh my gosh i love that this came to you at the right time!
This was awesome you guys should do more rating lesbian kisses from Netflix movies
Oh don’t you worry, that video will be coming! We filmed it before our little trip away to Uluṟu a few weeeks ago, but I didn’t get to finish editing it. So hopefully that’ll be up after the Pride month stuff!!
@@laurenelloise awesome I still watch one of the movies from the original video it’s my favorite movie
Which one was it? 🙈
@@laurenelloise Orange is the new black and I watched a few others but this one was my favorite
Ah yes! I watched all of that! Actually couple months ago gal pal and I started to rewatch it for fun haha. Tis very good. Was like the first gay thing I watched just as I was realising I was not straight 🙈
I will definitely read all these books, and I would also recommend sweet and bitter magic, it’s about a witch and another girl who has magic powers and how they go from enemies to lovers
I read Sweet & Bitter Magic earlier this year! Really loved it, such great characters 💜
yes! galpal just reviewed this one in my most recent upload!
Hani and ishus guide to fake dating is AMAZING x
Thankyou so much for including books that have safe book covers ❤
youre welcome! i thought it was really important to include!
Came years ago for the rats staying because your such a lovely girl 😄
Aw this comment makes me heart 💗💗💗 I miss my rattles so much. Thanks for sticking around all this time!
please do a third part to this I want to read so many queer books as possible
ur wish will be granted very soon
I’ve actually read a horror book called “the Fear Zone” by K.R. Alexander and there was a gay mlm couple later in the first out of two books. They even said once “i wonder if my mom will allow him to have a sleepover with me even though he is gay” and when they first met they had the POV where they said how cute the other boy was. I was in 4th or 5th grade (2 or 3 years ago) when i read it and it was awesome.
I would really recommend girl from the see for teens or tweens
THAN YOU!!💗I love fantasy gay books!
You’re so welcome! Glad that we could provide 🌈
You are beautiful Lauren
Have a great day
Happy Pride ❤️
I actually love Sunstone as a coming to terms romance wlw graphic novel, it's super inclusive as well... And tons of sweet moments
Thanks for the amazing video 😍
Thank you so much for watching !!!
Untamed is one of my fav books. Love it so much.
Same here!!! 💜
to young readers who aren't out of the closet, I'd recommend the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. It is a dystopian world separated by blood. Nothing will tell you it's gay, the front and the back don't say anything abt it. But in the 2nd or 3rd book it plants settle gay stuff. One of the characters has a gf sorta deal but she can't marry her, it doesn't ever say why as far as I'm reading it, probably you couldn't marry same-sex. But there isn't much.
This is like the perfect video for me!!! THANK YOU!!!
Also, could you please recommend books for 12+???😊😆
I Will check The books Thank for the recommendations And happy pride month ❤🏳️🌈🔥
You’re welcome!! 🌈🌈🌈 happy Pride !!!! Hopefully you find ur new fav book
I know anyone won’t see this]s and even tho it’s not a WLW centered book you should read When You Call My Name it’s about these 2 guys who are gay one is named Ben and the other is named Adam the book is set in the late 90s and has 2 storylines in one book it’s a little hard to understand at first and a little boring but the further you get it gets better
i actually tried to start reading this over the new year but i couldnt get into it / it was hard to read, even at a 26y/o. I'm going to give it another go at a later point haha
@@laurenelloise yeah 🤣 it is definitely hard with all the hard handwriting and words I had to finish it cause I got it from the library it was sucha struggle wouldn’t recommend it or read it again 🤣 I can’t wait to find a lesbian book to read 🥰
I'm planning on reading this poison heart in a few months I absolutely loved Cinderella is dead great read
Hani and ishu guide to fake dating is really good
Anne on my mind was also the first lesbian book i ever read !
awww
I read Hani and Ishu and I donte remember the outcasting at all haha. shows that it wasnt too memorable
you should read they both die at the end by adam silvera. my favourite book and adam silvera is awesome too check him out
If I'm trying to figure out if I'm gay (I'm 16)... What should I read?
I would love reading any of those!!! Is there any book that could be accessible for sb like me who isn’t a native English speaker
Thanks for the suggestions!
thank you soooooo much for being so generous, i would love to mention your name in the next video, if that is okay of course? as a thanks!
@@laurenelloise sure, you can mention my name.
I have only watched the film version of tell it to the bees just requested untamed from the library
The priory of the orange tree is excellent read
Yes! I’ve seen the movie too! And I hope you enjoy untamed !!
Im not a lesbian but I def want to read them anyway. Im bi
I really enjoyed "In At The Deep End" from Kate Davies.
love books and love queerness so I would definitely love to see more videos like these in the future :)
Aw yayayaya this is good to know! I think gal pal wouldn’t mind doing another one!
If anyone hasn’t read Red White and Royal Blue then you need to go do that.

I recommend you to read the Oz series, it's surprisingly gay
11:20 i know a lesbian couple that is jess and jess , so i guess it's common lol
When you said they live in salem.
Me: Immediately thinks of Hocus Pocus.
My brother keeps joking about me being a lesbian, little did he know.. 👀
owo yay finally something new to read owowowo
Yayayaya I’m so happy we’ve provided some new stuff for you!
@@laurenelloise Yeah! In Israel we don't have almost any lgbtq+ books so it's really hard to find them because I can read them only online and it's less fun then holding an actual book but it's better then nothing owo so TY uwu
(btw I might finally won't be single~ an amazing girl and I going on our 1 date in 3 days owowowowo~)
Aw man I can imagine that’s really hard for you! (I also love physical books a lot more). Hopefully some of these you’ll be able to read bc some are really really subtle. And also that’s so cute, I’m wishing you the best 💜💜
