Reading queer books from queer authors is the best way to support them and the equality movement. I have already done a list like this about other multi-cultural authors that deserved to be heard and supported as well, so make sure to check them out!

For some of us readers and bloggers, we consume a lot of content and the bank account sometimes suffers a bit, so we have to take advantage on some sales so that we can make as much buzz as possible about all the books we read! So we have this list of queer authors and queer stories that are a must-read! (and you will be saving money!)

Remember, if you can support the #blacklivesmattter movement, do so! You can find Ways to help the BLM movement here

“If I was Your Girl” by Meredith Russo is the story of Amanda, a teenager girl that only wanted to live her life and finish high school, make friends and fit in. Then comes to her life Grand an charismatic and easy going guy, and she cannot help it but start falling for him, but she has a secret… a secret that her name used to be Andrew. This is the first ever book that I read about a transgender girl written by a transgender woman, and it was all that I expected and wanted it to be. It is simply outstanding and easy to read. Check my review if you want further words about it.

I have never read anything by Patrick Ness, but there is always a first time! In “Release” Adam’s life is about to change completely!
