Does anyone have any recommendations for LGBTQIA representation? Any authors or books that people don’t really talk about?

A Fate Forged In Fire by Hazel McBride
North is the Night by Emily Rath

- the Malice series and the Crimson crown series by Heather Walter are both lesbian retellings of old fairy tales (Snow White and sleeping beauty)

Mustangs Torment by Misty Walker is really good
Pumpkin Spice and Poltergeist for a Fall read is great too

My incredible virtual book club read the novel...Woodworking by Emily St Louis. The story of a young transwoman and her high school teacher who is conflicted about how to deal with her identity.

Forgive me as this may not be classified as a queer recommendation.

Being a straight 70 year old woman who identifies as liberal I had always shied away from the discussion on trans individuals. This novel opened up my eyes and my heart to trans individuals. This doesn't mean I understand or am educated on the subject but for me it was a good start.

Mad World by Brandon T. Bernard. It’s indie published and very good. Mad world is book one in a series. There’s a lot of smut of all kinds, but also a plot to the book that makes sense and it’s very good
