Queer Books in a Library

Here are queer books that are on my radar. Some of them I have read, some have been sitting on my shelves waiting for their turn, but they're here and they're queer! I especially recommend "In Memoriam" by Alice Winn (two private-school boys discover the horrors of World War I while also fighting demons (homosexuality), broke me to pieces but then patched me right back) and "Don't Want You Like a Best Friend"/"More Than a Best Friend" by Emma R. Alban - two very lovely and funny as fuck sapphics goof around during balls in Victorian era London trying their best at matchmaking (and falling in love in the process); it was so much FUN! Best queer books I've read this year.
Also, watch Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix IT'S SO GOOD! Two ghosts solve supernatural cases. It's funny but also deals with heavier themes in a heartfelt way. Prepare emotionally for episodes 3 and 7.
