I will be honest: this Wednesday's topic was 'Books not set in the Western World', but I could not find any that I've read. I'll definitely get on this though, so I might do that blog post in the near future when I've done some reading on them. Therefore, a topic from a different month that I think is interesting! Boy Meets Boy - David LevithanOne of my favourite books of all time! The setting is so so awesome, as it is a town where everything goes! No one cares what your gender and sexuality are. This book is every single 'boy+girl love story' ever, except it's with two boys. Refreshing and adorable. Carry On - Rainbow RowellAnother one of my favourite books. The long-awaited companion novel to Fangirl. I loved reading this, as it is a fun Harry Potter-esque book but with LGBT romance. Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green & David LevithanI wasn't too impressed by this book, but it was fairly nice. John Green and David Levithan are two of my favourite authors, so I would've hoped for a better book coming from the two of them together. This is still an enjoyable read about an out-and-proud musical-writer and a troubled kid finding each other. I'll Give You the Sun - Jandy NelsonA cute coming-of-age story held up by the fact that First Loves are a bit more complicated when one of the participants is not out to the world. The book does not revolve around the romantic plot, but it is a nice touch that reminds society that there's more to gay people than just the fact that they are gay, as LGBT characters in TV shows often have just the fact that they are gay as their storyline. Writing this list made me realise that my LGBT reads are very limited and I should read more diversely. These LGBT books are pretty much just about gay boys and I need to read some more about girls and trans kids! Let me know if you have any recommendations for more LGBT reads!
