My Books with Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

All of these are YA books little to no spice in these!

Gwen & Art ★★★★ (3.75 stars)

Cute story but the ending left me unsatisfied.

This Ravenous Fate ★★★★ (3.75 stars)

Good story, couple is based on my favorite lesbian couple from animation. Left me feeling like I wanted more, but not craving more? If that makes sense. Great world building and tons of drama.

Ace of Spades ★★★★ (4.25 stars)

Very slow start but an extremely satisfying ending. The characters are complex, the world against them is realistic, and I was suspicious of EVERYONE! A couple of cultural things I didn’t like but the author is from the UK writing about American teenagers so I should’ve assumed there would be a bit of a disconnect.

Black Girl, Call Home ★★★★★

This book is amazing. These poems will hit you where it hurts.

The Legendborn Cycle ★★★★★ & ★★★★

I haven’t read the third yet, but book one reignited my love for reading and book too made me so emotional! Plus who doesn’t want two boyfriends????

... Read moreYoung Adult (YA) literature has evolved significantly to include diverse voices and stories, especially those representing LGBTQ+ themes. Books like 'Gwen & Art' capture the essence of young love with a cute narrative, while 'This Ravenous Fate' intertwines a captivating storyline inspired by beloved animation couples. Readers seeking depth will appreciate 'Ace of Spades', a mystery thriller that delves into the complexities of adolescence within a social context. 'Black Girl, Call Home' stands out with its powerful poetry that addresses issues of identity and belonging within the queer and black communities. This poignant work resonates with many, drawing parallels with personal experiences. As the 'Legendborn Cycle' combines fantasy with romance, it showcases the excitement of modern YA storytelling, especially with elements of polyamory appealing to contemporary readers. These books not only honor the diversity found within LGBTQ+ narratives but also provide readers with relatable characters, emotional depth, and thrilling plots inviting discussions about love, belonging, and acceptance. In a world where representation matters, these titles are essential reads that provoke reflection and connection among all readers.

This book was recommended to me by my therapist. I was struggling when I first started awakening and thought I was going crazy. I went back to therapy and she reassured me that I was not crazy! Everything I was going through was completely normal and actually going to change my life for the better.
