TOP 5 | Books with LGBTQ+ characters I want to read

Hello, my fellow bookworms!

I welcome you to another TOP 5 post. This time, I'm going to present to you LGBTQ+ books that I think absolutely worth reading and cannot wait to do so.


Jandy Nelson

This story of twins who are incredibly close at first but then have to try and find their way back to one another after being wrecked in different ways has been on my TBR list for as long as I can remember. From the author of The Sky is Everywhere, this book is definitely worth your time.


David Levithan

The author of Boy Meets Boy (and many more great books, including Will Grayson, Will Grayson that he wrote with John Green) brings us a story of two boys, Craig and Harry, who used to be a couple and are now hoping to set the world record for the longest kiss.


Rainbow Rowell

I've read Eleanor & Park by this author, and even though I cannot say it was bad, I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. Now I'm planning on giving Rainbow another chance, because Carry On, a ghost-love-mystery story, sounds very promising in my opinion. You should also give a try to Fangirl.


Malinda Lo

Yes. Yes, yes and one more yes. Give me a lesbian retelling of Cinderella immediately. This story is about Ash who loves fairytales—and when she meets Sidhean, she thinks that her very own fairytale could come true. Then she meets Kaisa, who seems to reawaken her desire to live and love, and makes Ash decide between a fairy tale and true love. Definitely a must read for me! (You should also give a chance to Huntress.)


Alison Cherry

One can never have enough wlw books. Brooklyn Shepard immediately hits off with her theatre camp roommate Zoe, and their friendship turns to love. This book full of self discovery should definitely make its way to your TBR lists!

  1. Skvělý, originální článek. Chci určitě vyzkoušet Levithana, jsem na to moc zvědavá. Budu se těšit na všechny tvé dojmy, díky kterým pak zase určitě ještě rozšířím ten můj nekonečný TBR.
    Měj se krásně, Kačí a užij si všechny ty skvělé knížky, které jsi vybrala!

    1. Levithana rozhodně doporučuju! Četla jsem sice jenom Will Grayson, Will Grayson, kde byl jenom spoluautorem, ale jeho styl psaní se mi vážně líbí a mám z něho takový dobrý pocit, takže si myslím, že když po něm sáhneš, určitě nešlápneš vedle.

      Jé, než já se k těm knihám dostanu ale! Na TBR poličce mám pořád ještě asi 16 knih z té Anglie, a ten seznam, který mám, to je katastrofa. :D

      Taky se měj nádherně a přeju krásné čtení čehokoli, co teď zrovna čteš. :)
