hi!! i love going thru your blog for artistic purposes (all the excerpts u post obliterate me and ive found so many books i love bcs of u!!) ♡ do you have any queer lit that you will tell people to read until your head explodes?
Hello!! I would say that my all time rec for queer lit is Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson! But last year I could not stop talking about Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira & I’ve gone back to that a lot!!
Those are the 2 queer lit books that I think about most often but I also made a list of other recs!!
More general recs for queer lit are:
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin!!!! A must read!
Any of Julia Armfield’s books! I loved both of her novels & her short stories!! Will buy anything she writes
I’ve read all of Pajtim Statovci’s books & love them but recommend Bolla above the others
I really enjoyed Yr Dead by sam sax
I read The Words That Remain by Stênio Gardel like 2ish years ago & think about it often!!
Justin Torres has 2 great books!! His newest one Blackouts is one I really enjoyed!
All of Billy-Ray Belcourt’s books are great & his poetry is some of my favorite but I would recommend his essay collection A History of My Brief Body the most!
The Last Binding Series by Freya Marske
Any of Cat Sebastian’s romance books - in particular I loved the London Highwaymen series & her most recent series (We Could Be So Good & You Should Be So Lucky)
The Captive Prince series by C.S. Pacat is one of my favorite series of all time
For poetry collections I’d recommend:
The Naomi Letters by Rachel Mennies
The Flesh Between Us by Tory Adkisson
Song of My Softening by Omotara James
DEED by torrin a. greathouse
Fantasia for the Man in Blue by Tommye Blount
Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz
