Fill your TBR pile with queer festive cheer WORDS BY NIAMH O’TOOLE HEADER DESIGN BY ANISA CLEAVER Christmas is near and that can mean only one thing – there isn’t long left to curl up with a festive book, and for me, nothing is better to get me in the holiday spirit.
Whether you’re looking for a light-hearted romcom, a bit of poetry, short stories, or a murder mystery, these LGBTQIA+ books are all best read wrapped in a cosy blanket, with a mug of hot chocolate and some Christmas music to really set the mood.
Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones Ever since I picked up Make You Mine This Christmas back in July, it’s been taunting me from my bookshelf.
In November, I finally couldn’t hold off any longer and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. Written by Lizzie Huxley-Jones (they/them), Make You Mine This Christmas is the perfect cheesy festive romcom.
