I'm currently reading "The Girls I've Been" and I'm loving it! It's a fast paced ya mystery thriller but it being ya doesn't bother me like it sometimes does. Queerness isn't a main theme in the book but the main character is a queer girl and she get's caught up in a bank robbery with her girlfriend and ex-boyfriend.
tbf i’m bisexual, my parents are lesbians, my friends are almost all queer etc. I haven’t read full disclosure but even my boyfriend is bi. not quite as unrealistic as it may seem ig
Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen was one of the most cathartic reading experiences I had in undergrad. I really wish I would have read it in high school (it came out in 2014). Still hands down my favorite sapphic YA novel. Definitely has some tense and rough moments but the way everything comes together in the end meant everything to me!
I've definitely been enjoying your ranking videos. There are so many books out there and the rankings help me know which ones I might want to prioritize over others.
I'm so glad!
Omg a queer analysis of Midnights?! Ahhhhhhhh I love everything about that! 😍 I'd be SUPER excited to watch that vid!
Whoops, I totally missed this video until today - really enjoyed it! And I appreciate how pretty all the colorful book covers look together 🙃
You should read Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin! It's not a happy story and the main character is an arsehole but the book is incredible, I loved it so much! Absolute queer classic
A book that I think you might like is "Annie on my mind" it's set in the early 90s about two teen girls who fall in love with each other. It's a really sweet story.
I’ll add it to my tbr!
Honestly Afterlove is one of my all time favourite books xx
Also The falling in love montage is so good you may like that
I just ordered The Falling in Love Montage on Vinted last night funnily enough!
Georgia this is slowly becoming my favourite channel!! I've been going through a bit of a rough patch and these videos bring me so much comfort and peace. I also grew up/live in Brighton, so sending lots of love to you from the seaside💚
i just got Last Night at the Telegraph Club and seeing it so high on the tiers is really making it climb up my TBR list
READ IT
my fav queer books that aren't on the list are cleat cute and the spirit bares its teeth! Highly recommend the spirit bares its teeth if you like horror/fantasy and want to read about a trans and neurodivergent character!
It’s considered over rated but I can’t help it, Song of Achilles has me by the throat 😭. I read it 3 times and one of those times I bought a second identical copy at an airport just so I could read it on the plane
Just going through rec videos and I hear a voice I know well!!! Love that you cover love and death. We all need the balance don’t we. 🎉
i really enjoy seeing this side of you! found you via your true crime channel and stumbled upon this one. I am OBSESSED, really going through book nerd phase right now so this channel with your personality and the subject matter is perfect. keep up the amazing work :)
Recommending Gideon the Ninth for Dark Sci-Fi/Thriller fans and Heaven Official's Blessing for fans of chinese fantasy and high romance. Both amazing queer stories
No but I read Leah on The Off-Beat when I WAS the target audience. I was just starting to question my sexuality at that point, and it was the first Sapphic romance I had ever ever read. Since I liked Simon vs. I thought that it would be a good choice.
Then I read it and felt…nothing. If anything, I just felt kind of sad, because I liked the love interest better with her boyfriend from the previous book. Those things combined made me actually kind of shut down my questioning, because I was young and stupid, and I guess had just put a lot of stock in that book as an “introduction” to the queer female experience. Since I didn’t find the story moving I thought I must not be into girls after all, and felt kind of dumb, and called myself straight for the rest of high school 😅
Looking back, it was actually just that…the characters had no chemistry, and they were cheating on one of their partners who had done nothing wrong if I remember, and also I was too young at the time to relate to the college anxiety aspect of it. I think Evelyne Hugo was as actually the next sapphic book I read, a few years later, and yeah, that one definitely made me feel things (also funny that I put so much importance on my feelings towards books back then, when I was actively crushing on girls throughout high school 😂 I just felt that I needed fiction to validate my experiences or something I guess)
No hate to Becky Albertali, I love SVTHSA and The Upside of Unrequited, but that book…just happened to hit me at the wrong time in my life I guess lol
I love watching all of your book content!
Great video! Got some new recommendations for my TBR. Loving the book videos ❤️
Writers try not to forget about trans people challenge (most fail).
I felt the same way about Full Disclosure. It felt like the author was just ticking off boxes, like every minority had to be represented. I could see the author's choices in every sentence and it bothered me enough to make me DNF it. Not hating on her, it's still better than what I could have written at 18 but those where my thoughts reading it (or partially reading it)
I’m glad it wasn’t just me! I feel really bad for feeling that way because it feels wrong but did very much feel like check boxes
I’m reading Delilah Green right now, am loving it so far! In my head, Delilah is Laura Prepon from OITNB 😍 also a huge fan of Casey McQuiston, I think Red White and Royal Blue is my favourite book ever ❤ I really enjoy your book videos so feel free to keep churning them out!
Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett is one you have to check out
i have read most of these and i agree with most of your rating except i loved shara way more (i am older than you so i think there's an age where you are kinda done with ya and then it swings back around to enjoying it), and Kiss her once for me would go in my top tier. Also, I would put achillies in burn it (i hated that book so much lol)
Please read "Mistakes were made" is spicyy but also romantic (?) with a realistic ending.
Thanks for the recommendations ❤
Can’t remember if it was in the video (I have covid so severe brain fog) but have you read Oranges are Not the Only Fruit? A semi autobiographical novel about an adopted girl in England raised by evangelicals who turns out to be a lesbian. I read it during my first queer relationship and oh boy, it knocked me on my little queer butt. One of my all time favourite books!
I haven’t read it!! I better add it to my tbr, you’ve sold it to me
"strap" yourselves in...oop
so where is my self biography?????
how do you find House in the Cerulean Sea
i don't think the danish girl as a book is problematic, but i know in the movie the character of lily is played by a cis man (same who played newt scamander in the fantastic beasts movies, i think), and as you surely understand that's not it.
I read tin man on your recommendation and really enjoyed it, I need to be friends with you!! 😂❤
I liked Jones' "Euphorias in Gender, Sex and Sexuality Variations: Positive experiences" (good for lGBTIQ, queer theory, data)
Thanks for another great video. Tami
taylor swift is not anything like evelyn hugo 😒 evelyn hugo is actually interesting
Absolute blasphemy to say such a thing on my channel
Lmao truth 😂
💚
How repulsive. This is disturbing and vomit inducing.
oh dear sounds like you need help for that, have you tried calling your doctor?
@@storieswithgeorgiamarie - really? For all of recorded European human history people found this behaviour revolting and unacceptable, even punishable by death. It’s simply how people think. Current trends are an outlier. Normally will resume, but how many lives will be blighted afterwards? Your behaviour is pernicious.
Reported for hate @@jimthompson9370
I’ve reported him for harassment and hate@@storieswithgeorgiamarie
Not really interested in male relationships- no offence but there are too many books out there about women to bother about male relationships 👍
