The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 2 months ago Guys, I just started reading Annie On My Mind. I am so excited, but the first few pages were sad already. I am anticipating identifying too closely with the main character.
Any other good queer fiction to recommend? I’ve got the nonfiction more or less covered.
I love tipping the velvet by Sarah Waters. I’ve also read oranges aren’t the only fruit, which to me was quite strange but I guess if it’s in your library, give it a go.
Oranges Aren’t the Only Fruit is an interesting read – Winterson has a different way of writing but it’s powerful nonetheless. Give it a try.
Another great YA lesbian novel is Keeping You a Secret. Also a bit sad, but it’s pretty good. Not as well written as Annie on My Mind, though.
Oh, and ASH by Malinda Lo. It’s a lesbian retelling of Cinderella!
i second this, and add “huntress” #omg #sogood
