Huge thank you to @grantabooks for sending me copies of #PaulinaAndFran, #GutSymmetries & #TheProofOfLove as part of the #LGBTLit campaign. As you can see, many of the #booksthatmademe are Young Adult titles, and it's been a joy to research, read and fall for these amazing array of fictional queer women. Sarah Waters' #TippingTheVelvet will always be the first book I think of when someone asks what LGBT book was a formative read. Sarah visiting Kent Uni when I was a student there to talk about having studied there herself and discovering lesbian history in the archives meant the world to me. I'm very excited to read more adult LGBT literature. A special shout out to @tanyabyrne's story 'Hackney Moon' in #ChangeBook which features Esther as she recovers from a broken heart and finds a new connection: I can't wait for everyone to meet her!
