The Picture of Dorian Gray. Not every love story has a happy ending, and this is tragic love at its absolute finest. I discovered it at a rather impressionable time — aged 20, halfway through university, still not sure whether I fancied boys or girls or both or neither. Every time I read this book, I get something new from it. If I had to choose just one love scene, it would be from The Tale of the Shoe, a short and perfectly-crafted retelling of Cinderella which ends: Blackberries by Katherine McMahon in Treasure in the History of Things McMahon is one of my favourite young poets, and this chronicle of a day spent with a lover manages to be equal parts sweet and sensual; to be personal and immediate, but stretch right back through the history of queer relationships, to all the hidden and unacknowledged loves that came before us.
I had assumed that all erotica was of the poorly-written, clunky-metaphors-for-genitalia type — and I wanted to write and read Proper Literature, not erotica. The use of the second person pulls the reader to the centre of the experience of dressing. Reading it encouraged me to slow down and become more aware of my own body and the things I choose to put on it.
Girl Meets Boy by Ali Smith.
Harkonnen's sexual preference for men is implied in Dune and Children of Dune , and presented more explicitly in the Prelude to Dune prequel trilogy — by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Open this photo in gallery: Such a scoundrel he is, always searching for his next lover, his next drink, his next way to get in trouble. His life had just started to become rather complicated. The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures. Enabled Average Customer Review: Retrieved March 6,
The beautiful Ianthe later falls in love with Iphis, who is transformed by the gods into a man so that they can marry. But it is so much more than that. It is an exploration of sexual violence, guilt, culpability, race, misogyny, and homophobia. It is an accounting of what we owe to the world, and what we owe to ourselves. I knew I would love this just from the cover, but it went above even those expectations. I was giggling and swooning while reading. This is a tiny little graphic novel that tells a queer, poly, BDSM story that is sweet and kind and the artwork is beautiful, and I just wanted to crawl inside the pages and curl up there.
All of my picks just made me squee happily while I read them. This is a book that has both a fat, geeky, anxious aspie protagonist and a Chinese-Australian bisexual protagonist. This is a love letter to fandom that all takes place at a convention, and I gobbled it up in a day. A middle-grade book where a girl has a crush on a girl!
This is such a necessary book to exist. Queer kids rarely have media that represents them. Plus, this is adorable, and I kind of feel like I understood more about Shakespeare from this than from taking university classes about him?
Mattie also comes out in a very accepting environment, which is great. This was my first Adam Silvera book and it left me wanting to read everything by him. They both get the call that tells them they will die sometime in the next 24 hours. What I loved about this book was that despite taking place in the course of one single day, it manages to create a deep and meaningful relationship between its two central characters.
Release follows Adam Thorn on a single, odd day of his life where he must come to terms with himself and find release. All the while, his story is connected to the spirit of a girl who has recently died, and has come back to the living world to find her own release. Release is ultimately an amazing and honest book about love, family, friendship, and so much more.
Then he meets Sebastian Brother, a devout LDS prodigy and they both go down a journey of self-discovery, the true meaning of religion, and what it means to be honest to yourself. And I cried some more. This book, straight up, along with its cover is beautiful. Not only is this a groundbreaking book the first anthology of speculative fiction by trans writers , but there are simply so many incredible stories in here. I was totally blown away by the quality of the stories: Just to give you a taste of some of my favourites: This is one of those YA books clearly written by an adult who actually spends time with teens and knows them.
The characters were messy and made lots of mistakes, perhaps most of all the main character Sana whose journey to discovering her lesbian sexuality and dealing with knowing that her dad is having an affair has lots of bumps.
