@booville BOOK RECS ^_^

fair warning nearly all of these deal with death in many forms, and other triggering topics so keep yourself safe bestfriend! tbdate and aoas are dystopian so obviously there's gong to be some dark stuff there, and aggtm and oouil are mysteries so that's pretty dark as well. drama is a super light read though ^-^ (books under the cut!)

they both die at the end by adam silvera - fair warning. it's exactly how it sounds. the characters both die at the end and i cry every time, pretty thought-provoking and GOD i love the main characters, good queer literature methinks !

a good girl’s guide to murder trilogy by holly jackson - yep these books are mysteries and there's a lot of death involved. first pip investigates a murder and well let's just say it escalates from there.. i absolutely adore pip and ravi with my whole heart though

book 2: good girl, bad blood - probably my least favorite book in the trilogy, but it still had its moments!

book 3: as good as dead - maybe my favorite? very very dark and a super bittersweet ending, this one was genuinely hard to read but also hard to put down so. do with that information what you will

one of us is lying.. duo? (soon to be trilogy) by karen m. mcmanus - this one is very popular and for good reason methinks. i read it pretty soon after it came out iirc and i like how the characters start out as cliches and slowly develop to be. less cliche. also have a soft spot for the main characters including.. well two of them get together i won't spoil too much but i have a soft spot for them even though they aren't the greatest couple lol

book 2: one of us is next - not as good as the first one but honestly i think i just missed the 4 main characters. still interesting but the ending was less satisfying imo

arc of a scythe trilogy by neal shusterman

book 1: scythe - my favorite book, love the two main characters, uhhhh i'm trying not to spoil stuff but well they end up together and even though they have no chemistry i still love them <3 they do care about each other lots though

book 2: thunderhead - interesting but not my favorite?

book 3: the toll - i mean it's action packed and a fun read sometimes but it almost feels like the series jumped the shark a little bit. but that's just my opinion and it's not horrible by any means

drama by raina telgemeier - easy lighthearted graphic novel for elementary school kids!! but it was probably my first exposure to queer literature in general so it has a very special place in my heart <3 the characters are all awesome i love them

#srry this took me a minute i had to shower and eat lolsies #TRYING NOT TO SPOIL STUFF BECAUSE THE COUPLES ARE ALL KIND OF A BIG DEAL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE BOOKS UHHHH #all i will say is that agggtm has My straight ship tm.. as a queer person? that's kind of a big deal #**i will say adam silvera's other books- at least the ones i've read- are also very good #and karen m. mcmanus's other standalone mysteries are a little bit.. campy i guess? but still good reads #i'd recommend the cousins and you'll be the death of me over two can keep a secret but #neal shusterman's other books are also pretty good- he does some good dystopian stuff but those aren't nearly as beloved to me as aoas is #I TALKED A LOT HERE SORRY LMAO BUT #HOPEFULLY THIS WAS HELPFUL OR FUN FOR U ^-^#boo tag #rowe rambles
