For those of you who feel like you’ve already read every LGBTQIAP+ book in existence, not to worry – there’s plenty still to come! Every TBRainbow Alert will have a mix of five LGBTQIAP+ titles to make sure are on your radar, along with why I think they should be on your radar. If you missed the earlier alerts, you can check out those titles here. And now, because I can’t wait to get these books on your reading lists, check out some of what awaits in 2017!

How to Make a Wish (May 2)
Author: Ashley Herring Blake
Genre/Category: Contemporary YA
Rainbow details: bi MC, lesbian LI
Why put it on your radar?
Bi MC! Great bi rep! Also a really beautiful mother-daughter story with a great romance that is definitely sex-positive.

As La Vista Turns (February 27)
Author: Kris Ripper
Genre/Category: Contemporary Romance
Rainbow details: f/f
Why put it on your radar?
God, just the names of the books in this series (Queers of La Vista) make them all auto-buys for me, and I love how much varied representation is in it, too.

Looking for Group (April 25)
Author: Rory Harrison
Genre/Category: Contemporary YA
Rainbow details: Gay MC, bi/pan trans girl LI
Why put it on your radar?
So much rainbow! Plus I love the POV of a main character who’s in remission. We’ve seen so much YA about teens with cancer but so, so rarely what life feels like afterward. And I’m always a sucker for romances between people who meet through gaming.

Honestly Ben (March 28)
Author: Bill Konigsberg
Genre/Category: Contemporary YA
Rainbow details: Bi MC
Why put it on your radar?
Most obvious reason: if you were a fan of Openly Straight, as I was, it’s bi boy companion time!

At the End of the Universe (February 7)
Author: Shaun David Hutchinson
Genre/Category: Contemporary YA
Rainbow details: Gay MC
Why put it on your radar?
I dunno, by now shouldn’t “Shaun David Hutchinson” be enough? Especially after We Are the Ants? Just read the damn thing.
