Hi Alexander! This is A.R, I really love the reading ❤️ although the future is uncertain, I can't help but enjoy the reading you have for me. I'm really when you mentioned that they might be an air sign because I'm wishing they would be an air sign or fire sign.

The reading is really detailed and I really appreciate the energy and effort you put into it. On how I could possibly meet him and whether it's going to be a good connection.

Thank you again, Alexander!

[thisqueerlove]

My list of Queer books.

Now my labeling only has to do with the main protagonist, except for the books labeled "Queer" some of those the main protagonist is not Queer but the book has lots of Queer main and side characters. I only included the first books to make it easier but some of these are series.

The problem with making lists for books is that there's So. Goddamn. Many! New ones are being released every single day so all I can really do is add as I go. I also take recommendations so let me know of books I missed (specify what category they go in please 😊). I could also add specific Sexualities and Genders but right now I'm just doing basic categories because this is going to take time.
