On tumblr: bisexual-books, queerbookclub, queerbookrecs, and diversityinya (run by YA authors Cindy Pon and Malinda Lo)
Outside of tumblr, Lee Wind’s blog — I’m Here. I’m Queer. What the hell do I read? — contains a myriad of queer booklists.
In addition, goodreads.com has shelves for just about everything; one look at its Queer, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender ones can uncover some of the many books I couldn’t fit on this one post!
Enjoy!
Also everything riptidepublishing has in their catalogue, which is mostly adult, but there are a handful of YA titles as well. Their search is fantastic too. You can search by pairing, orientation, category, gender, etc. Amazing.

December Book Haul aka Gaby should stop buying books
“People, particularly big men carrying big rifles, don’t expect lip from a scrawny thing like me. They always look a bit dazed when they get it.”
Aly I am so sorry this took ages to respond to- I would have just given you a list of books and been done with it but I decided to use this and make an actual book rec posts so then this happened. These are books that I think everybody should read. Some of them are obvious and some are from my significant books list, but I just went ahead and put them on here anyways. I tried, for the most part, to get pdf downloads for everything though one or two of them may be epub or word documents instead.
I suggest everyone GET ON THESE DOWNLOADS IMMEDIATELY because I don’t know how long they’ll stay up.

If you haven’t stayed up until the early hours of the morning reading with your eyes itching and burning with tiredness and your vision blurred as you fight to stay awake to finish the book, you haven’t lived at all

Silverstein always has been, and always will be my favorite poet because he doesn’t even need words in his poem to make people open their eyes.
I am not violent. I am not malicious. I am a result.
