Book Recs: The Great Big LGBT Rec List (III)

I really hope I can say “here comes the post you’ve all been waiting for!!” and be right… Well, the post does come, so I’m already halfway there… In any case! Like the title says, this is part 3 of our very big and very great, and very much made up of books by & for the LGBT community recommendations list!

Today I give you books number 51 all the way to 75. There’s only one post in this series left! (So far. Charlotte & I hope you guys would be interested in more posts like this when we hit our next followers milestone!)

Question we already asked on twitter (here): would you be interested in a Q&A, to get to know Charlotte and me better? Let us know in the comments!

Okay, so that’s it from me today! Look out for Charlotte’s post later this week to see the last 25 books! We hope we managed to show you just how much there is to read & how diverse the books can be!

I would also like to mention here that none of the books we have recced in this series have that awful Bury Your Gays trope and instead they do all have a happy ending! Unless it’s poetry, of course… (We both like poetry that makes you suffer.)
