Top Ten Tuesday; Books With Lesbian/Bi Love Stories

It's time for another Top Ten Tuesday, courtesy of That Artsy Girl. As it was Love/Valentine's Day freebie this week, I decided writing a list of books with lesbian/bi love stories (the love plot may be just the sub plot in some cases). It's nothing wrong with straight love stories, but as I'm bi myself, I find it nice to see when it's a same-sex love story in one way or another.


Here's my list.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie Flagg

Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters

Wooing the Farmer by Jenny Frame

Cassia by Lanette Kauten

Blue is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh

Blood Born by Renee Lake

Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta

If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan

Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar

Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

      It took me a while to read Fried Green Tomatoes too, if it's to any comfort.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
