- Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
- Heartstopper by Alice Oseman
- The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
- Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu
- Let's Talk about Love by Claire Kann
- The Bone People by Keri Hulme

- Heaven's Official Blessing by Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù (heed content warnings!)
@laughwhilecrying I'm halfway through Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin.
It's very trans, very deeply upsetting, very deeply gruesome and completely bittersweet. Every word I read from it feels deeply in love with women, but at the same time scornful of humans. I picked it up because I saw it being review bombed by TERFs and fell in love with it.
I strongly recommend heeding content warnings, it's put me in proper upset moods - not at the book, but at the events and at people in the book.
