I need to read some of those books. I think the library near my house has most of those books...I need to get down there and check them out.

The God Eaters by Jesse Hajiceck. It's a little hard to get a hold of, but it is an awesome book. m/m Has mature themes... It's fantasy.

Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness, and Traitor's Moon by Lynn Flewelling. Again m/m And again fantasy. She is a glorious writer, and I love her characters. The gay themes are generally later in the series. (And there is a new book in the series either just out or coming out soon). :D

I know that I have read more good books with LGBT characters and themes than that, I just can't come up with them off the top of my head...

Harry Potter 1 through 7

It'd be interesting to go back and reread knowing Dumbledore is gay.

lol Yeah, it would be, actually. I might do that one lazy morning.


Rachel, did you ever get to the library/book store?

O:
I'm going to request some of these books from the library right now.
*edit*
ok I just requested "Keeping you a secret"
^_^

"grl2grl" by Julie Ann Peters (same author of Keeping You a Secret)

It is one of the most amazing lesbian books that I have EVER read. It's a collection of short stories, and I swear there's at least 1 story that everyone can relate almost exactly to.

Empress of the World was really good... "Rules for Hearts", the sequel, just doesn't even come close. :[

Kissing Kate is a good one, though I can't remember who it's from.

Beijing by Philip Gambone is a good book to read. here's a review that I wrote about it goodreads.com:

I picked up Beijing because Philip Gambone was my english teacher in 2007. When I first started reading it I was kind of surprised. The thoughts that first ran through my head were, "I dont want to know that my favorite teacher thinks, does, or writes about any of these things". But it didnt take long for me to get past that and to realize that I was reading a good book.

The journey that Gambone lets David Maseillo take us on is a great one. One that exhibits love, frustration, comedy and one that lets us explore another culture. I learned at lot from this book. I learned about the chinese culture and how in that society any sexuality other than, heterosexual, must be kept a secret. I learned about the caring way that everyone treats eachother. How everyone is considered brothers.

Overall, this was a good book. My only problem with it is that there are many times when you think "okay get to the point" and then there are many times when its like "okay that got to the point too fast". In the edition that I have there also seem to be many poor editing mistakes (like "is" instead of "his").

I am happy that I read this book, it gave me a sort of insight to the mind of my favorite teacher.

And it taught me that love can come in strange ways but when it comes you have to take hold of it and not let it go.

I have read "Keeping you a Secret" and "The Bermudez Triangle" so far. I really liked both books.

LOL, well I have that book.

I don't recall reading a particularly gay/lesbian themed book, but I've watched movies like "It's my Party".
