Hey everyone! It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for Top Ten Tuesday. This meme is hosted by the bookworms @ The Broke and the Bookish. You should definitely check them out! This week’s theme is a FREEBIE! Since it hasn’t been done yet for this meme, I will be doing ten LGBTQ books I’ve read. Without further ado, here we go!

TEN LGBTQ Books I’ve Read:

Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

The main character is a boy who goes back into the closet when he starts a all boys boarding school.

2. The Porcupine of Truth by Bill Konigsberg

One of the books I have to review. One of the main characters, a boy, has an alcoholic dad. The other is a lesbian. They go on an exciting adventure to find the grandpa of the boy. Will they find him? Read the book to find out!

3. Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

The main character is a boy named Simon whose secretly gay. He has an adorable email relationship with a boy named Blue. All Simon knows is that Blue goes to his school.

4. I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

The main characters are twins. One is in love with a biker. The other is gay and in love with the new neighbor. Something happens that makes the twins not talk to each other and avoid all contact. Do they make up and become close again? Read the book to find out!

5. Every Day by David Levithan

A book about a person who changes bodies every day. They live a different life everyday but are always in love with the same girl.

I could only think of five. I feel like I’ve read more LGBTQ books than that! Have you read any of these books? Let me know!

This was a great book! Even though I read the sequel first, I’m still glad I went back and filled in some gaps.

Currently Reading:

Words can not express how amazing this book is! It’s a Tween book but is such a page-turner! I am debating about actually doing a Tween book review on this. That’s how good it is!
