This weekend I am taking part in the LGBT readathon, hosted by Faye of A Daydreamer’s Thoughts.
I haven’t been reading much lately, but I will try and change that! The books I have on my TBR eligible for this challenge are:
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan
Keeping You A Secret by Julie Peters
Sprout by Dale Peck
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Geography Club by Brent Hartinger
When Love Comes to Town by Tom Lennon
I hope to start Boy Meets Boy first, as this comes recommended by Faye herself. It also highlights the lack of lesbian YA aside from Keeping You A Secret. If you could recommend any then please feel free!
Faye is also hosting a twitter chat at 8pm GMT on Sunday. Look out for #LGBTRead to take part, or head over to her blog to find out more.
Snuggling On The Sofa 
Oh wow! This is a great idea! Have you read SHINE? It’s heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time.
Not that I know of, do you know who the author is? I love recommendations! You should join the readathon too 🙂
Lauren Myracle! Going to post the link below. I loved this book. It handles hate crimes and ignorance and fear so beautifully AND manages to face everything head-on. The hate crime is…stomach wrenching so be prepared. I think Myracle did a fab job. Truly. She has crazy talent.

I am on deadline so extra reading has been strictly vorboten for me, but this is very tempting. Even if I can’t keep up, I will definitely be lurking 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you think about David Levithan. I thought NICK AND NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST was wonderful. I’ve been meaning to pick up other books by him.
Thank you so much! Definitely going on my TBR then. I actually already have ‘Kissing Kate’ by her on my list, so even more incentive to check it out.
I should not be doing extra reading either, I have about 5 books to read next week before I go on holiday, but I have zero willpower 😛 lurking is good though!
I haven’t read any of his books before, but they are all over my TBR, especially ‘Two Boys Kissing’. Hopefully will finish Boy Meets Boy today and review tomorrow!
Those all look like great books. I’ve had Will Grayson, Will Grayson on my TBR list for a while now. One of these days I’ll get it and read it.
I’ve never read any other John Green apart from TFIOS, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Good luck with your readathon too 🙂
Thanks for joining us Debbie 😀
Two of the books on our lists are the same 🙂 Hope we both enjoy them! hehe.
Good luck with all your books and I cannot wait to see what you think of Boy meets Boy!
I have read Boy Meets Boy years ago, so I can’t recall much of the plot, but I remember liking it very much. And I just finished When Love Comes to Town – it was a great read, imo 🙂
