1. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
First off this is one of my favorite books of all time. Carry On follows Simon Snow, the most powerful magician in all of London. Hes in his final year at Watford, a school for magical beings when his roommate and sworn enemy, Baz goes missing (1/2).

It& #39;s up to Simon to find Baz and save the world from the insidious humdrum.
This book is supposed to an off-off-off version of H*rry P*tter, but I love it because of the angsty teen love story and super engaging plot (2/2).

2. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
I say this a lot, but I REALLY love this book. Six of Crows is set in Ketterdam, following six criminals as they are trying to pull off the impossible, breaking a high-profile criminal out of an impenetrable prison for a reward that will (1/2)

change their lives. Bardugo is especially crafty when it comes to creating complex and morally gray characters. This book is real, honest, and draws deep comparisons to our world in regards to sex trafficking, the prison system, and asylum seekers (2/2).
3. The Gentleman& #39;s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
This book is an especially fun read as the main character, Monty embarks on a grand tour of Europe in hopes that he& #39;ll mature a little bit along the way. Accompanying him is his best friend Monty and his little (1/2)

sister, Felicity. Monty is charismatic and witty, charming people all over the European continent, all while bringing important topics to light such as racism, medicine in the 1700s, a woman& #39;s role in society, abuse, exploring one& #39;s sexuality, and friendship (2/2).
4. Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
This book is a really fun book following Alex Claremont-Diaz, the first son of the US on a journey of self-discovery, passion, and political scandals. An altercation occurs at a wedding, and his worst enemy, Prince Henry, is (1/2)

forced to become his best friend. For those who aren& #39;t too keen on fantasy, I would highly suggest this book as it deals with real-world problems like racism, identity, future plans, and other& #39;s expectations. Alex is funny, honest, and authentic (2/2).
5. Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
I know I kinda touched on this book in another thread, but I seriously love this series so much. These kids go on life-altering adventures and finally find the place where they feel like they fit in, only to be dragged back to (1/2)

our world. Their families don& #39;t understand why their children can& #39;t adjust to our society and as a result, they are sent to Eleanor West& #39;s Home for Wayward Children. There, the teens are accepted and are taught how to cope with their new realities (2/2).
6. Sawkill Girls by Claire LeGrand
This book is a fun paranormal book where an otherworldly creature haunts the island luring girls to the forest and devouring them. It& #39;s up to Zoey, Marion, and Val to defeat this evil before any other girls go missing. Sawkill Girls is (1/2)

haunting, filled with brave, badass women, and has great representation. If you like dark, murder mysteries, this book is for you (2/2).
7. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
This book is a great coming of age novel that focuses on Aristotle, who& #39;s discovering his place in the world. He becomes friends with Dante and his world starts to shift, forming an (1/2)

unbreakable bond. Alire Sáenz& #39;s writing is so poetic and heartfelt, one can& #39;t help becoming emotionally-invested in the character& #39;s lives. Again this book has great representation and fresh perspectives, so it& #39;s definitely worth checking out (2/2).
So this thread was pretty long, but I hope I provided you with some fun LGBTQ+ friendly books to read. Let me know if you pick up any of these books and what you think!
