Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Every week, Jana assigns a topic and creates a post for everyone to link to.

This week’s topic is: Love Freebie. I decided to feature some of my favorite LGBTQIA+ love stories. These are not all romances per se, but they all feature beautiful love stories. I couldn’t narrow it down to just 10, so I’m featuring 20 books today. Some of these are pretty popular and well known, others are a little more obscure, but all were 4 or 5-star reads for me. I tried to feature just one book per author, with one exception, but I felt it was important that both books be on the list.
