Any suggestions for gay teen books?

i know of some stories on the web www.themustardjar.com has some good stories not many but a few

 

I've said these in other "book request" threads but:

The World of Normal Boys -- KM Soehnlein
Magic's Pawn/Magic's Promise/Magic's Price (trilogy) by Mercedes Lackey
How Long Has This Been Going On? -- Ethan Mordden
Becoming A Man -- Paul Monette

 

Hero was awesome! I met the author. I also suggest Am I Blue?

 

What happened to Lani Garver By Carol Plum-Ucci-Its not gay but its not straight and its damn good
Green Fried Tomatos at the whistle stop cafe By Fannie Flagg
Annie on my mind By:Nancy Garden
No mans land-forgot the authors name
Born confused By:Tanuja Desai Hidier-ok so its straight but quiet a few awesome gay characters

Hmm...I think thats it for now

Oh wait. There is also
Tipping the Velvet By:Sarah Waters-haven't read it saw the movie and loved it

She has another out that I want to read...but for the life of me I cannot remember the title! When I remember I'll come back.

 

My favourite at the moment is "Empress of the World" by Sara Ryan. I also like "Boy Meets Boy", the "Rainbow Boys" trilogy by Alex Sanchez and "Kissing Kate" by Lauren Myracle. I'm dying to get my hands on "Annie On My Mind" by Nancy Garden, but I can't find it anywhere. I used to be embarrassed about borrowing those books from the library or ordering them through bookstores, but I'm fine with it now.

 

"Empress Of the World" is a great book, as firecausesburns already pointed out. There's the book called "Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List" by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Funny, funny book.

 

i read boy meets boy and it was so good i loved it.
i also just got finished reading absolutely positvely not gay. that was really good too.

 

i highly reccomend "How I Learned To Snap" by Kirk Read .
(i applaud Kirk Read haha :eusa_clap :eusa_clap )
My copy is worn and highligthed to the nines with my parts. i think i've read it about 7 times haha.

 

(I'm resurrecting this thread because I was looking for gay books again and well, everyone needs to know about them!)

I read A Density of Souls recently, and OMG it was so good. It is so effed-up in a good way. Thrilling... one of my fav books now. (The Snow Garden looks cool too, I'm looking forward to that.)

The World of Normal Boys is also an excellent book, that deals directly with the questionning teenager. *Really* good.

I also read The Year of Ice, and it was OK, but I didn't find it particularly great or whatever. I'd give it a C, and it's worth reading if you have nothing to read.

Next on my reading list are:
Boy Meets Boy
David Levithan

Dream Boy
Jim Grimsley

Leave Myself Behind
Bart Yates

Drawing Blood
Poppy Z. Brite

Rainbow Boys series
Alex Sanchez

The perks of being a wallflower
Stephen Chbosky

 

I personally recommend "Call me by your name" One of the most moving stories I've ever read!!

 

A few people have mentioned my favorite, which is Empress of the World by Sara Ryan. The sequel, The Rules for Hearts, is excellent as well.

Otherwise..

Talking in the Dark by Billy Merrell. It's a poetry memoir.
The Realm of Possibility and How They Met and Other Stories by David Levithan. He is my favorite author. I e-mailed him once and he replied!, it was amazing.
Keeping You a Secret, Far from Xanadu, and Between Mom and Jo by Julie Anne Peters.

 

the perks of being a wallflower is by far the greatest book i have ever read. like it probably sounds like i am lying, but it changed my life.

how i paid for college and its sequel attack of the theatre people are also really good.

 

boy meets boy is really good

 

Boy Meets Boy
M or F?
Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You
Out of the Pocket
7 Days at the Hot Corner
My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, & Fenway Park
My Heartbeat
Jack

These books were awesome. I loved them all.

Also, The Mortal Instruments series has a gay boy/warlock couple in it and they are absolutely amazing. So even though that series isn't very "gay focused," I highly recommend them! XD
