i totally loved one last stop. it is one of my most favorite books. since i love science fiction and anything queer, finding both things in one book was a blessing. i enjoyed it so much. personally, i found all books by casey mcquiston pretty amazing. they write so well.
4:14 i love casey mcquiston's books so much. because yes, they are MASTER at writing romantic plots that feel like one for the ages but also, the way they talk about queerness & community & friendships & the way they write characters - ufff, i have yet to find an author who does such an exceptional job in all of these fields. i always consider cmq romances as literary fiction disguised as romance because they make cry so much because i related too hard to one of the characters. also the way they include atmosphere & culture into their book - the 70s songs, queen, the food, the places in case of one last stop - it's sooo well done. literally all 3 of their books are my faves. and their 4th book is coming out this august!! i will literally read their shopping list istg!!
oh my god, i love your recs so much! i read quite a bit of queer fiction, and let me tell you, i squealed when you mentioned casey mcquiston's one last stop! it is an amazinngg book! and thank you for all the indian author recs too. i feel like every time i watch a queer book recs vid, it's usually the same few books recycled over and over again, but i should've known to count on you. my tbr just grew ahaha. as for book recs, buckle up, it's gonna be a ride. firstly, adiba jagirdar! her books are amazing. brown characters, based in ireland (which is where i live so love that even more) and muslim rep like ahhh these were made for me. i'd recommend starting off with hani and ishu's guide to fake dating, it's my all time fave. second, you mentioned casey mcquiston, so you must check out their other book, i kissed shara wheeler! it is chef's kiss. the selling point: unapologetically corny american high school sapphic romance. third, well, i don't know what you'd think of fantasy, but 'girls of paper and fire', a trilogy by natasha ngan, _eats_ . it's brilliantly written, kinda angsty tho, also please ensure you read the trigger warnings there's also 'last night at the telegraph club' by malinda lo, which is a really great book, but idk if the ending was happy per se. like it ends, (spoiler) and then there's an epilogue where they meet again, but it's all really hopeful, as far as i remember. and lastly (for now), 'this is how you lose the time war' by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone. im like, currently reading it still, but im a sucker for happy endings too so i know that this gem's got one. hope you enjoy! thanks again and i love your channel sm
If you want some sweet graphic novel recs I’d say Bloom, On a Sunbeam, The Magic Fish (deals with family), Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me (it’s a happy ending for friendship, not romance) and Heartstopper (the comic is better than the series)
2:05 i have approx. 1.3k+ queer books on a database of queer books i created and omg no! there are soooooo many feel good queer books recs!! i'm gonna write some below (most of these are ya contemporaries or fantasy or adult romance so enjoy!)

@@mess.sania. i think they're talking about the book 'strangers' by taichi yamada. i have not read the book so idk if it's queer or not. but it inspired a queer film called 'all of us strangers' directed by andrew haigh and starring paul mescal, andrew scott (the hot priest from fleabag) and claire foy. the film revolves around loneliness of being queer and also parent-child relationships. it was beautiful but very tragic! highly recommend tho!!
Feel Good and/or Happy Endings from queer books I've read: Cafe Con Lychee by Emery Lee Here The Whole Time by Vitor Martins Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall Prom by Saundra Mitchell HEARTSTOPPER (the entire series of 5 graphic novels) by Alice Oseman This next one can't be called Feel Good: Find Me by André Aciman (It's the sequel to Call Me By Your Name. First book had a sad ending cause they don't end up together but the second one shows how they do meet again. I'd say it's not really a feel good book because the entire time I read the books, I had this kind of a sad nostalgic cloud over my head but worth a read.

The Provincetown Tales book series by Radclyffe includes books Safe Harbor, Beyond the Breakwater, Distant Shores, Silent Thunder, and several more. It is the gayest shit I have ever read. The emotions, the plot, the dialogues, the steam ufffff! It is like 2 decades old but worth it *cries in happiness*
Also recommend “Just As You Are” by Camille Kellogg. 1. Absolutely no straight characters 2. Jealousy 3. Kitchen sex 4. Butch lesbian + androgynous queer woman romance 5. Happy ending!
Didi, try out "That Summer Feeling" by Bridget Morrissey. Bought it in a bookshop in Shimla recently and it was wonderful. Incorporates queer realisation in your 30s. Also have heard great things about "The Jasmine Throne", it is an Indian mediaeval-ish fantasy sapphic novel series by Tasha Suri.

12:22 Holy shit, yep that's me. Love is love, even if it is heterosexual. XD Also, my parents won't give me money to buy lesbian books (or any queer book for that matter) so I have a huuge collection of lesbian books in my pc. (Thank god they don't supervise my computer activities, I'd get killed if they give just one look at my search history) Off the top of my head: 1) Her Royal Highness. Princesses, Duchesses, Queens or any lady in a position of authority just makes my heart go boom 💥💥 2) The Space Between Worlds. Characters who are in a sci-fi world just happen to be gay for each other. Two of my favorite genres. Explores some existential themes that resonated with me. Don't read the second book. It's shit but just know that they are married in that book ;) 3) Anything and Everything written by Jae, a German author. Some of her books: Under a Falling Star Damage Control The Roommate Arrangement Bachelorette No 12 Wrong Number Right Woman Etc. She also has a website wherein she recommends lots of sapphic books. (All of them with happy endings) 4) Lee winter is another writer you might wanna look into. 5) The Henna Wars & Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating. Both of them have Bengali characters, even if they are Bangladeshi, as an Indian Bengali queer person, the rep means a lot to me.
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer i havent read all of those in the videos but i have some (with happy endings): Kalynn Bayron cinderella is dead Samantha Shannon priory of the orange tree Rebecca Podos from dust a flame Tillie Walden on a sunbeam (comic) Heather Walter malice (2nd book is named misrule. the 1st book is kinda unfinished but the 2nd ends well) Elisa A Bonnin dauntless Kate Mascarenhas psychology of time travel Suzanne Walker mooncakes (comic) Molly Knox Ostertag the girl from the sea (comic) Adrienne Tooley sofi and the bone song Melissa Bashardoust girls made of snow and glass Nicky Drayden escaping exodus (2nd book name: escaping exodus symbiosis. book 1 is unfinished, 2nd ends well) Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone this is how you lose the time war all of these have wlw relationship, happy endings and poc (except for maybe sofi and the bone song maybe doesnt have poc)
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer Could you suggest some sad books only? I love to read sad books. Yeah, I know, I just love to be sad and cry over things.😂 I mainly wanna read sad Queer books, but others will also work. Thank you! Ayush (22) Kolkata, West Bengal
yeah, it's very nice. but i feel like the writing would most appeal to someone in their pre-teens and early teens since most of the characters are in that age group
I just found you on my feed. This is the 1st time commenting on a video. But there have been a lot of firsts happening in my life. If uk what i mean. I have a personal request can u make a video where i can make gay friends online, not the creepy people i come across. As a new queer person that would really help. Fyi your content is great.
Princess Princess Ever After- its a comic book. its okay but I liked the comic part of it. and another comic book the girl from the sea The Henna Wars Novel by Adiba Jaigirdar. she has book similar to that Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating Book by Adiba Jaigirda(I didn't read it though) like ❤Heartstopper is my favorite❤ both the show an the book. I have exams coming up in the next month I will let to know if I find any other books. i actually got tired of reading lesbian books because of the drama. The family doesn't accept but they eventually do accept her. i cry at that time. I don't want to relive that same moment again and again. Don't worry. I'm fine. Its sad you read Baby Ji(i didn't read it) when you were so young. it must have scarred your childhood. it feels that way.
I had seen some people who are replying 😑that if love is love then water is water then why don't you drink it from toilet.. What is the best reply to them..?
I read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe Novel by Benjamin Alire Sáenz but didn't really like it. I read it just because my friend(ex crush right now she is dating a boy) said she feels like Dante. I didn't really enjoy it. I'm a teenager
Sometimes you just wanna read about two queer people fall in love and do cute things together. Being delulu is the solulu✨
i am old so i do not understand this delulu businesss but sure!
i totally loved one last stop. it is one of my most favorite books. since i love science fiction and anything queer, finding both things in one book was a blessing. i enjoyed it so much. personally, i found all books by casey mcquiston pretty amazing. they write so well.

Off the top of my head:
1) Her Royal Highness.
Princesses, Duchesses, Queens or any lady in a position of authority just makes my heart go boom 💥💥
2) The Space Between Worlds.
Characters who are in a sci-fi world just happen to be gay for each other. Two of my favorite genres. Explores some existential themes that resonated with me. Don't read the second book. It's shit but just know that they are married in that book ;)
3) Anything and Everything written by Jae, a German author.
Some of her books:
Under a Falling Star
Damage Control
The Roommate Arrangement
Bachelorette No 12
Wrong Number Right Woman
Etc.
She also has a website wherein she recommends lots of sapphic books. (All of them with happy endings)
4) Lee winter is another writer you might wanna look into.
5) The Henna Wars & Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating.
Both of them have Bengali characters, even if they are Bangladeshi, as an Indian Bengali queer person, the rep means a lot to me.
Love one last stop !!!!
Also I have a queer recommendation- Loveless by Alice Oseman.
As an ace person this book is very much comfort read for me!

Thank you!

I forgot the channel name so I searched brown haired queer instead😂😂😂
I recommend Adiba Jaigirdar's books too, she's a great author
yeah, it's very nice. but i feel like the writing would most appeal to someone in their pre-teens and early teens since most of the characters are in that age group
@ShortHairedBrownQueer that's true. Any younger readers out there will probably be able to relate more
Ahhaha I love this video, can't wait for part two, Also I love your pin!!:)) 💞🌈
hahaah thank you!
I thought you forgot you had a yt channel but hey thanks! ❤
thanks for the sass :))))))))))
I just found you on my feed. This is the 1st time commenting on a video. But there have been a lot of firsts happening in my life. If uk what i mean. I have a personal request can u make a video where i can make gay friends online, not the creepy people i come across. As a new queer person that would really help. Fyi your content is great.
Princess Princess Ever After- its a comic book. its okay but I liked the comic part of it.
and another comic book the girl from the sea
The Henna Wars
Novel by Adiba Jaigirdar.
she has book similar to that Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
Book by Adiba Jaigirda(I didn't read it though)
like ❤Heartstopper is my favorite❤ both the show an the book. I have exams coming up in the next month I will let to know if I find any other books.
i actually got tired of reading lesbian books because of the drama. The family doesn't accept but they eventually do accept her. i cry at that time. I don't want to relive that same moment again and again.
Don't worry. I'm fine.
Its sad you read Baby Ji(i didn't read it) when you were so young. it must have scarred your childhood. it feels that way.
Hii can you please recommend some lesbian dating apps or sites
Hii, I'm available😂, I'm 18 and I seriously need queer friends.
Poppy Jenkins, soho loft book series
thank you!
Wow after a long time u uploaded any video big fan ❤... I love ur content... Actually I had a question .. can u speak or understand hindi???
i knows some hindi but it's not my mother tongue so i don't really speak or understand too well
O..
I am originally from A.P but currently i'm at kolkata..
I had seen some people who are replying 😑that if love is love then water is water then why don't you drink it from toilet..
What is the best reply to them..?
I read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Novel by Benjamin Alire Sáenz but didn't really like it. I read it just because my friend(ex crush right now she is dating a boy) said she feels like Dante. I didn't really enjoy it. I'm a teenager
Where to buy these? Is it possible to get on offline stores or from second hand book shop
some of them might be available in the shops (one last, red white and royal blue) but its unlikely for the rest of them. online is your best bet
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer I managed to purachase red white and royal blue from second hand books dealer, so happy, gonna read it asap!! ☺
Well I just had the realisation that I have never read a queer book 🙂
oh what. you are missing out
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer need a "will leave you sobbing" version of this video
