Queereaders discussion

Anyone has recomdations for Trans Masc mc books?

Been looking for some to order and I seem to find myself at a loss of where to look in terms of well wirtten pieces of work, so please give me all you got!

I just read Graceless by Ruby Landers, it's part two in a trilogy (each book is about different characters) and the one of the two main characters is transmasc non-binary!! And honestly some of the most accurate and relatable queer characters I've come across. It's a romance novel!

The only book I've read with a transmasc MC is The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill - I'll be honest, I personally wasn't THRILLED with it/it wasn't really my thing, but different strokes for different folks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oo alrighty, thank youss!

Romance wise, I liked A Shore Thing by Joanna Lowell and to a lesser extent Chef's Choice by T.J. Alexander. Horror wise, The Woods All Black was pretty good. As others have said, The In-Between Bookstore was eh, as was Peter Darling by Austin Chant.

There are a few books that are arguably trans masc enough to be mentioned but not definitively so. For example, Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg, which I loved, and Mrs. S by K. Patrick, which I was a hairsbreadth away from loving. There's also space opera Empire of the Feast by Bendi Barrett that was rather good.

In terms of what I'm planning to read, really looking forward to Names for the Dawn by C.L. Beaumont, as well as We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara

Also, if you want nonfic as well as fic, Frighten the Horses: A Memoir by Oliver Radclyffe is excellent, as is The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports by Michael Waters. I'm also looking forward to reading The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes: And the Unwritten History of the Trans Experience by Zoë Playdon.

a while ago I read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas which I really liked! it's YA. there is also a sequel that came out recently that I haven't gotten to read.
On a Horror note: Compound Fracture, The Spirit Bares its Teeth and Hell Followed with Us by Andrew Jospeh White all have Trans/Autistic MCs. He also has a new book coming out in Sept called You Werent Meant to Be Human.

I've read Cemetery Boys, I enjoyed it quite a bit! I was pretty sure they were releasing a 2nd book at some point! though I haven't checked back up on it in a while so I will give that a go. Also thank you for your suggestions, I will take a look at 'em!

Ahh! Thank you for all the suggestions! Might take me a moment to look through of of them, but I can't wait to see what they have in store. ^^

A Life in Too Many Margins stars a transmasc individual.
It's my memoir disguised as fiction and with my name changed (so that my family doesn't recognize it, heh).
It doesn't come out until April, but I'm preemptively looking for reviews on here, especially from trans and queer folks as well as neurodivergent and disabled people.
