I NEED MORE QUEER BOOKS!

i'm late to this, but have you read the YA graphic novel IF YOU'LL HAVE ME? i just read it last month and loved it. BUNT was also really fun! for non-GN, i really enjoyed DIABLO'S CURSE earlier this year, and the MGs DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUIT and THE BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING ELSE.
