I hope you’ve enjoyed these lists and been able to add at least a few things to your TBR. Despite reaching the end of this series with a bit of difficulty, I am still very excited about everything I’ve listed here. In any case, this is the last week of this.
My goal is that by this time next year, I’ll have found some more. While I’ve found a few that I loved, I don’t have nearly as long a backlog of favorite books with wlw protagonists. There are way more books with gay men at the heart than gay women, and it therefore follows that there are fewer great novels about lesbians. You’d think that, as a girl, I would find it easier to relate to the leading ladies, but that has emphatically not been the case. While you can find just about any kind of story with queer male characters (mostly gay, but some bi there are some phenomenal bi male leads out there), the girls are harder to find.
It was slightly more surprising that I had to scratch my head so much for books with lesbian leads. I was sad about that, but unfortunately not surprised. I’ve found some good ones, but not a LOT of GREAT ones. I think of myself as a person who reads a lot of diverse books, and specifically a lot of L G B T Q I A+ lit, so the fact that I struggled so much to find five books with trans and ace characters was a hard pill to swallow. It was a lot of fun to revisit so many of my favorite L G B T Q I A+ books, and it was interesting to confirm what I already knew about the books available: it was easy to find tons of books with gay leads that I adored (and, in fact, there were lots that I was heartbroken to exclude), but it was far harder to find five excellent books for the other categories. It’s the last Tuesday of June, which means this is my last batch of L G B T Q I A+ picks for Pride Month.
