some of my favorite WLW books in honor of pride 📚💖
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

GAYER THAN IT SOUNDS! just read it I promise you won’t regret it
The Priory of the Orange Tree

potentially one of my favorite books ever, although it took me SO LONG to finally pick it up.. 11/10 gay and dragons, PLUS the author wants to cast katie as sabran <3
Crier’s War

enemies to lovers, need I say more
Everything Leads to You

this book is SO cute, kinda has evelyn hugo vibes but more y/a
Sing You Home

this one probably isn’t for everyone, there’s a lot of homophobia/ a trial with some heavy stuff, but something about it has stayed w me
Her Royal Highness

enemies to lovers, forced roommates AND royalty.. it’s a cute, easy read
Keeping You a Secret

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, although it’s an older book and some of the language is a little dated
Skylarks

I loved this so much, kinda enemies to lovers who both work in the same library together
The Road Between

(or anything by this author, it’s all very gay poetry)
This Is How You Lose the Time War

idk how to describe this one other than just beautiful?? it borders on poetry honestly, but it’s incredible
The Falling in Love Montage

definitely in my top 3 wlw books i think, behind evelyn hugo and priory <33
How to Make a Wish

truthfully this was a little overwhelming, definitely on the adult side of y/a and potentially a tw for emotional abuse, but it was handled so incredibly all the way to the end and the overall story is BEAUTIFUL
These Witches Don’t Burn

gay witches with some gay witch drama, and some coven drama, and some more gay drama
Wilder Girls

gonna be honest I didn’t even know this was gay, I literally only bought it because the cover was pretty, but it was G A Y.. it’s basically just the movie annihilation but they’re locked away on an island in boarding school
The Meaning of Birds

cried more than a little life.. she loses her first love, (chapters alternate between aftermath of the loss, and the past in which they were together), and she’s offered a job by two sapphic wives who take her under their wing and help her navigate the grief
Something to Talk About

all i’m gonna say is the supercorp vibes are astonishing
Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit

this was so soft and cute and smutty, my heart was found BURSTING with love
Summer of Salt

what if I lived on a tiny island and you came from the mainland to stay at my family’s hotel for the summer...... and we were both girls
Girl Made of Stars

I don’t think anything I could say would do this book justice.. if you can then please read it.. it’s SO important (but also check trigger warnings before doing so)

it‘s heartbreaking and beautiful and best-friends-to-lovers-to-exes-to-lovers excellence
Trapped

enemies to lovers snowed in during an avalanche and trying to survive together??? ..... DELICIOUS (P.S nsfw)
It’s Not Like It’s a Secret

this book was SO cute - the wlw high school pining we all wanted while reading the het versions
Temptation

not gonna lie, i bought this for the smut but the plot was unexpectedly excellent... i read it in one sitting and it’s one of my favorites from this year
Love & Other Carnivorous Plants

truthfully i thought i’d figured the plot out after reading the description, but it caught me off guard in the best, most painful way
You Should See Me in a Crown

u know those books u wanna cradle to your chest once you’ve finished and just live in the warmth forever...... THIS
We Are Okay

this has been on my tbr forever and i’m SO MAD i didn’t read it sooner, it exceeded my expectations in every way
Leah on the Offbeat

fat wlw rep!!!! it was great on it’s own, but also enjoyed the love, simon sequel part of it
Islands of Mercy

not something i would’ve picked out for myself, but i ended up loving this SO MUCH!!

what if you were a milf and you strapped me in paris... aha just kidding.. unless

p.s treat yourself and listen to the audiobook xx
Annie On My Mind

there was a lot of controversy when this book was first released in 1982... personally i think the more pressed the homophobes are, the gayer the book must be.... and it WAS!!!! this was like a big gay warm hug and i loved every part of it
