Thank you for this video Josh! I wanted to add Queer books to my readings and didn't really know where to start. The Death of Vivek Oji, Tell Me I'm Worthless, Another Country (I have started my Baldwin cycle with Nobody knows my Name) and A Un kindness of Ghosts have sparked my interest.
Such a great list thanks for putting it together🌻 Here’s some of my favorites💜 Memoir- Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H Poetry- it was never going to be okay by jaye simpson Graphic Novel- The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen Fantasy- Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton Scifi- Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee Middle grade- Moonflower by Kacen Callender Short Stories- The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw
Great list! All Boys Aren't Blue was among the six most banned books in America last year. I bought all six and left them casually around my house so my son can read them at leisure. We elevate banned voices in this house. This is How You Lose the Time War is a favorite of min.
Thanks for watching. I thought about putting the time war on the list. I love it too. The main reason I chose not to was that it was less about queer themes then it was just a story with queer characters.

Very happy to see Another Country and The Death of Vivek Oji on your list. They would definitely be in my top 10.
Another Country is one of my favorites by Baldwin. He’s a must read for everyone. Did you read Giovanni’s Room?
