1. More Happy Than Not By Adam Silvera 

26 Books Every LGBT Person Absolutely Has To Read
Oh, and non-LGBT people – you should probably read these too.

1. More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera 

“It really shines a light on the effect depression has on LGBT+ youth, and I think it’s also really important that it addresses being gay in a Latino community, where being gay is unheard of. It’s a really important book and I recommend it to everyone.”

2. Maurice by E.M. Forster 

“It’s a classic about a man in Edwardian England who falls mutually in love with a peer at Cambridge and their subsequent years together. It deals heavily with class difference and societal expectations for a man in the upper middle class during this era but it ends happily, so that’s a plus.”

3. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

“It’s such an amazing and well-written book that not only explores queerness but also being a POC (specifically being Mexican) and figuring out who you are and learning to accept and love yourself. It’s such a great book and I love it so much.”

image

4. I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

“It’s a beautiful book about love (in all its forms), loss, and starting anew. The book is amazing and I always find something new in it each time I re-read it. It’s a must read for all LGBT+ rights advocates.”

image

5. Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan

“It was great because it showed a POC who didn’t know how to come out to her Muslim parents.”

image

6. Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

“It’s about the hardships endured during the 1950s in Virginia, especially with integration and accepting your sexuality at that time. The two main characters Sarah and Linda are complete opposites, both on different sides of the battle for civil rights, but soon realise they are falling for each other.”

7. Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown

“This was a great lesbian coming-of-age novel that highlighted all the issues people in the LGBT community faced back then [in the ’60s]. It’s important for me to not ignore the advances that people fought for, for me to be comfortable coming out today.”

image

8. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

“It’s about an intersex person and their family’s history as Greek-American immigrants.”

image

9. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechtel

“It’s a graphic memoir that parallels many experiences young queer folk have when coming out and claiming their own identity. It’s a MUST read.”

image

10. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

“It’s the type of book that’ll leave you bawling your eyes out in the middle of the night after you throw your book at the wall.”

Hello, I was wondering if you could suggest some podcasts? I am new to the podcast fandom and have already fell into Wtnv and serial podcasts. Thank you in advance.

Oh heck yeah!!!! Welcome to podcast hell. Though I haven’t listened to Serial (i listen to more backwater-indie but still good), WTNV is an old favorite. For some goodies, but more of a mixed bag here are the top ones you’ll see people post about (*=gayness):

*Wolf 359- A Space Opera on the USS Hephaestus. Wacky hijinks ensue for the first couple episodes and then you’re crying and everything’s a mess. But to be honest, this is really good. This turned my light hobby of listening to podcasts post-2016ish to binging it. I love the characters, they’re very complex. Its storyline is always easy to follow, which is a plus (there are some I still don’t know what’s happening). (Status: Ended but sometimes there are surprises in your feed) (Also the creators made Time Bombs which is a three ep series about a bomb squad and very good) 

***The Bright Sessions- Therapy for people with superpowers. It’s a lighter podcast in that it’s not guns in space- but it gets deep. It’s very sweet and it has so many characters that you’ll love- and some that you’ll want to punch in the face and they don’t get redemption arcs which is great. It’s a good podcast. (Status: Ended but a ton of bonus content is being released for years to come with a TV show) 

*****The Penumbra Podcast- This is not a single story podcast, but still good. The main story is Juno Steel and it’s about a Private Eye on Mars. It’s got drama, love, pain, friendship, and something special. The main love interest is also freaking amazing. The Second Citadel is the other one about a fantasy-age kingdom of monsters and humans at war. It gets…. well steamy. Not really but the tension between some characters is palpable. It’s good. (Status: Finished its  second season but their working on their third season) 

***King Falls AM- Okay, I’ve got to state this IS my favorite podcast. It’s got the whole “radio station in a small town” idea from WTNV, but it’s so fleshed out. The main characters you constantly meet and it doesn’t have the isolated feel like WTNV. It also isn’t surreal. But it deals with some heavy issues like depression and grieving but also has lighter episodes. I have to say I think it most definitely gets better later on. I freaking love this podcast and I wake every first and fifteenth at 3 am for my fix. (Status: Just got out of hiatus and is going strong). 

***EOS 10- Another space comedy, except it is like Grey’s Anatomy in space. I mean I’ve never watched Grey’s Anatomy, but it’s got doctors so it’s kind of the same??? It’s funny but like I said- it gets darker. I’m sorry, it just does. Another really good one. (Status: Is currently releasing season 4, and released season 3 after like a 3-year long hiatus)

**The Magnus Archives- A horror podcast but good. I mean I love horror podcasts- but this made get some tingles down my spine. It’s told though a file system but all connects later on. Very good and I really enjoy this one. Though it is very long, so I warn you to get comfy. (Status: Season 4 and is going strong).

***The Adventure Zone-  NOT AN AUDIO DRAMA, but fuck is it good. I’m usually an audio drama snob but I made an exception and it’s great. It starts off with there brothers and their dad goofing off while playing DnD and it’s very funny. It never loses this, but as time goes on the story is told and it’s so freaking beautiful. Made me basically cry. I would recommend 10/10 but like TMA it is also v long. (Status: Finished Balance and is half-way through their Amnesty arc).

Podcasts I like but don’t want to explain too much because my hands are cold:

*****Inkwyrm !!!! (The Devil Wears Prada in space and gay. I like this one so much asdhkjsad)

*****Dreamboy (WTNV but gayer and R-Rated)

Amelia Project (Some British guys fake your death)

*Darkest Night (Lots of people get killed)

Uncanny County (Weird shit happens in a county… that’s it)

We Fix Space Junk (Capitalism is bad in space)

SAYER (Capitalism but in space and with an AI)

*Kakos Industries (Do Evil Better, R-rated)

***The Strange Case of Starship Iris (Gay Space Pirates)

I hope this helped. If you don’t like any or are looking for something else don’t be afraid to say so!! Or if you need more. This might have lasted me a month or two hahaha. :))))
