The 2026 thread of LGBTQIA+ books I've read
1. Husband of the Year by M.A. Wardell. A satisfactory end to the Teachers in Love, major improvement over the third one (which I hated), but not as good as the first two (I don't care about babies so). Would have enjoyed a triple wedding instead. Good series overall, gay male romance written by a gay male

#Bookstodon2. The Editor by Steven Rowley. A new (gay) writer's book catches the attention of Jaqueline Onassis, who forces him to deal with his own relationship with his mother. So much better than his Guncle books! #Bookstodon

3. This Day Changes Everything by Edward Underhill. A whimsical day in NYC where a queer teen woman and a teen trans male lose themselves from their school band trips and spend it having David Levithan-style adventures in the city. Lighthearted and fun and good trans representation from a trans male writer.

@setmeravelles OK, I'm going to totally have to try and get this. It sounds like an awesome read.

@pawpower It’s definitely aimed at teens in case you don’t like YA, but it also just fun during bleak times.

@setmeravelles I love YA! I also always try to read good YA LGBTQ fiction because then I have good recommendations for my students if they ever ask me. And it has happened and I was able to help someone find some really affirming books and that was awesome so I absolutely do read it. And it's usually really wonderful

4. Fraternity by Andy Mientus. It's 1991. A queer secret society at a boarding school finds a book with dark magic, and things go wrong. Really enjoyed this one and hope Mientus writes more in the future when not acting. #Bookstodon

5. Exquisite Things by Abdi Nazemian This wants to be V.E. Schwab crossed with Oscar Wilde and sorta works sorta doesn't. In the 1890s a queer teen becomes immortal and in 1920 Boston makes his crush immortal and they try to make things to work in homophobic Thatcher 1980 and meet again in 2025. #Bookstodon

6. Box Hill by Adam Mars Jones was short, written without any breaks/chapters...and I'm guessing the film Pillion will be much better (especially with Alexander Skarsgard)

7. Last First Kiss by Julian Winters. I enjoyed getting back into the world of I Think They Love You, but this one wasn't as good. Jordan once had an awkward teen kiss and runs into the guy (his cousin's BFF) and the sparks are still there. I want Javi's story next please! #Bookstodon

8. The Celebrants by Steven Rowley. A group of uni friends agree to give each other funerals while they're still alive after their friend dies. Really disappointed in this one. Characters were insufferable, and I didn't care about anyone other than the Jordans. #Bookstodon

9. Always the Almost by Edward Underhill. A trans male teen pianist falls for the new guy after a breakout. I was disappointed since I loved Underhill's other books, but this one was just kinda there for me. I did love Stefania, the piano teacher though. #Bookstodon
