This is a really good overview of gender identity and sexual identity.

It's #AsexualAwarenessWeek. I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum (combined with elements I haven't defined yet), so I figured I'd post about it!

The ABCs of LGBT+: where I 1st found words to kind of describe my sexuality (I'm still working on that).

The Diviners: 1st book I found an explicitly ace character in.

Let's Talk About Love: 1st book with an MC with very similar experiences to my own. It was validating, and painful.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Kenyazero Elatsoe: my most recent read with an explicitly ace MC.

I also wanted to include the 1st story I found a demisexual character in: Avialae! (I forgot to include it in my graphic)

I picked this up in a book store a while back and thought it looked like an interesting resource for someone like me who has no easy descriptors for her sexuality. It's given me some ideas, and some things to think about. I'm still working on it, but I've learned a lot about other sexualities and identieis in the meantime! The writing was highly accessible. #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtbook #queerbook 🖤🤍💜

So is most of you may know I have the Read Harder Reading Log that I am working through this year and one of the challenges is to read a book w/a LGBT main character, written by a LGBT author. I'm looking for a book that has a storyline/plot to it as the challenge dictates having a main character. I know there must be lots and lots.

Can you guys suggest some for me please? 😃

Andrew65 An early entry, written in 1987. This is the first of a series written by Val McDermid. 6y
kellyann28 I don't know if this fits what you are looking for (I dont know exactly what the Read Harder challenge is) but: 6y

mreads Police procedural thriller, lesbian female detective main character and in a committed relationship. Also works if you are doing #booked2019 challenge. 6y
Alfoster This was a really good one! 6y
Johanna414 If you want something quick, 6y
CaroPi One that I really like 6y
imabusybee I am doing this too. You should check the Goodreads group they have hundreds of books list for each challenge 6y
BeansPage @imabusybee ooooo 😗 what is the Goodreads group called? 6y
BeansPage @Andrew65 @BookHoarder32 @kellyann28 @TheSpineView @mreads @Alfoster @Johanna414 @CaroPi thank you all so much for your wonderful suggestions. I am looking them all up to see which one will be the best for me to read. Tough decisions ahead... they all look amazing! 🤩🤩🤩 6y
imabusybee @TheReadingMermaid Read Harder Reading Challenge. Its pretty cool. 6y
PerksOfBeingABookworm I love love love this book! It‘s a quick read and one of the first lesbian books to have a happy ending. It was published in the 80s (I think), but has stood the test of time. 6y
BeansPage @imabusybee joining now! Good luck in your challenge! 🎉 6y
tracy.m.ng This is awesome challenge. I know this won‘t qualify, because Jodi Pocult isn‘t LBGT, but she is defiantly an ally (she supports her son‘s LBGT identity). But I enjoyed “Sing you home” and how people evolve and change and how love wins. 6y
IndoorDame I read and really enjoyed Dreadnaught by April Daniels this year. It‘s a YA urban fantasy novel that I think would fit your challenge. 6y
BeansPage @tracy.m.ng unfortunately a few years ago I read my very first book by her which happened to be My Sister's Keeper and got so mad at it that I threw it across the room and vowed not to read any of her books LMAO 😂😂 IDK maybe I'll give her another try... 🤔 6y
BeansPage @IndoorDame thanks hon! 🤗 6y
writerlibrarian Poppy Brite New Orleans books are just fabulous. (edited) 6y
bullbunny Have you read this book yet? 6y
dragondrool Anything by Caitlin R. Kiernan. Also, The Miseducation of Cameron Post was good. 6y
PerksOfBeingABookworm You could also check out Carol. I watched the movie, the book is on my shortlist TBR. 6y
BeansPage @VioletMoonBooks @writerlibrarian @bullbunny @dragondrool @PerksOfBeingABookworm @jenniferw88 thank you all so much for your lovely suggestions. I am looking them all up currently. Thank you again! 😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗 6y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid You‘ll have to let us know what you choose. 6y
BeansPage @Andrew65 I will my friend 🤗💖🤗 6y
bullbunny No problem 6y
jenniferw88 Oh, and Alan Hollinghurst too! I recommend 6y
BeansPage @jenniferw88 @monalyisha oooo 😗 more good ones! Thank you! 6y
tracy.m.ng Ohh! @TheReadingMermaid I totally understand-Jodi Pocult has some hit and miss books and my sister keeper—the movie version is actually worse, ugh. But yes I definitely enjoyed “sing you home.” Definitely shows the complexity of people more 6y

I found out about YALSA‘s #hubchallenge, a reading challenge where participants read award winners with YA/teen appeal from the previous year, from @Bkwrm7 . Today‘s the official end date and I didn‘t quite hit the goal of 25 (only 2 left!), but I found a lot of good stuff and really considered how I talk about/purchase books for teens. Plus I‘m going to finish the 2 I have currently in progress so I complete it for *myself* 😂

Bkwrm7 Nice; I'm impressed! I failed this so hard - didn't keep up with tracking and only made it through a handful, but loved most of what I read. Glad you did better! My favorite was probably You Bring the Distant Near. 6y

Congrats @Linsy on your 1,000 followers! 😘

This is one of my favorite words.... I love how it‘s so specific to a certain type of feeling.... As someone who lives thousands of miles away from my home country and all my family... this word touches my heart 💕

AmyG Good one. I feel this sometimes. 7y
JoScho Love this 🖤 7y
emilyhaldi Ugh, this definition is the story of my life 🖤 7y

Linsy This is a beautiful word. I love how it sounds. And that how it sounds conveys the feeling. There‘s just a sadness or longing to it. Thanks for sharing! I‘d never heard this one before. 7y
Tex2Flo 2 syllables? Accent on 2nd syllable? Can‘t even start to figure out how to pronounce, but understand the concept. 7y
KarenUK @tex yep that‘s how I say it 👍😊 7y
