Top 5 Tuesday: LGBTQ+ Romances

Top 5 Tuesday: Books Want to Reread Someday

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday! I'm here and feeling queer so let's bring that beautiful energy to this week's prompt. 

This week's prompt is..... LGBTQ+ romances

All different kinds of LGBTQ+ representation are here. These are all books I have read this year. I will outline what representation each one has so if you are looking for a specific identity, you can find it. Just keep in mind while the MCs in all of these are queer, some of the listed representations are side characters.

#1 has gay, pansexual, lesbian, and drag queen

#2 has gay, trans, and pansexual

#3 has gay and lesbian

#4 has gay and bisexual

#5 has gay

1. Recommended Reading by Paul Coccia
2. Conflict Mediation by DC Emerson
3. Runnin' No More by GT Dipe
4. Cross My Heart by Shae Ruby
5. When Haru Was Here by Dustin Thao

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁

See you all next Tuesday for another (admittedly less queer) top 5!
