Favorite LGBTQIA+ Books

Continuing with sharing my favorites this month, these are my favorite LGBTQIA+ books and series. As always, I tried to narrow things down, but I’m never very successful with that, so there are 45 books here (and I cut A LOT). I considered sorting them by audience or representation, but opted to keep it simple and just go alphabetical.
