A Few Recs

[wook77]

I've been promising links to a few of my favourite GLBT books.

The first is Kirith Kirin. I reviewed it before and it maintains a very high spot on my favourite book list. A small caveat - I would not read the continuation of the series. It devolves into a weird world that I didn't enjoy.

Lynn Flewelling. No, srsly. She has two series - Nightrunner series feature a gay couple as the two main heroes. Every book (but the last one which I hated) is well written. I have high hopes for the next book as the author took the concrit and worked on the issues and promised to improve the issues. So give this series a try.

The second series is Tamir Trilogy features a transgendered heroine. It's a fantastic concept and it's fairly well executed. I quite like this series.

So there are some of my favourite books. Do you have any recommendations?

Finally, a few more fandom things - I've been promising a link to this story - Why Sex Ed Should Stay in Schools - it's a Sesame Street slash story and omg. The lulz. I talked about this at Terminus a lot. I've talked about this story in chats and on vacation and just go read it. It's seriously amazingly crackalicious.

Verbotene Liebe playlist. Srsly awesome in a semi-poorly-acted German and subtitled sort of way.

I second the Lynn Flewelling rec, and add Mercedes Lackey (whose stories often feature gay and lesbian characters, especially in her Valdemar series), Sarah Waters' books (I'm currently reading Fingersmith) and Storyteller by Amy Thomson.

I've never gotten in to Mercedes Lackey, to be honest. I've not a good clue as to why other than that her writing style doesn't sit well with me.

I'll definitely have to check out the other two. Thankfully, my local library looks to have both :D:D:D:D

Random but who is that in your icon and just what are they doing?
