#Book Draw | A to Z of LGBT books @OlyBliss | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Hi There!

This is a book tag created by the delightful George Lester, his video: youtu.be/oZa3PueGCwg

He's had a little break from booktube and I've missed his face. He returned recently and in celebration I'm going to do his A-Z of LGBT books. This was one of the first booktube video's I watched. So it's nice a year later to actually give it a go myself.
My version is not YA it's the wider LGBTQI+ fictional novels. It is also by no means a definitive list!
Below is all of George’s recommendations and then my own as an alternative, enjoy!
