Red, White, And Royal Blue Out Of Context

Me watching I Don’t Dance from High School Musical 2 as a kid: oh my gosh they’re such good dancers that looks like so much fun!

Me now:

book recs for pride vol 2

Last year, on a whim, I made a post titled book recs for pride. I never expected it to be as successful as it was, but… it’s got over 4k notes at the time of writing this. That’s crazy.

Anyway, I’ve read quite a lot of books since, some of them obscure, some of them not, and I figured I’d make an updated version. I should mention: I’ve read other lgbtqa+ books; these are ones I recommend. However, please feel free to add your recs in replies or reblogs.
