Good Lesbian Books: Lesbian Young Adult Fiction
Favorite YA author and book series is the first on the list ;u;Lesbian (and bisexual) girls have tragically little young adult fiction to themselves. According to recent research by YA author Malinda Lo, about 0.25% of published YA books in the US are about lesbians. And yet, for such a short list of works, it was surprisingly hard to track them all down - there are plenty of GLBT YA lists, but these tend not to actually separate out the lesbian books, and to be dominated by gay male stories.
I’ve been trying to read more queer books, and it’s so hard to find anything that isn’t m/m fantasy.
I mean, I get it. I do. But I’d like to see stuff with f/f as the main romance, not off to the side or half-mentioned or what.
I just want queer ladies and dragons, is that so bad.
I’m holding out for smart ladies and queer dragons, myself.
