I'm grateful -- Hollywood High: Achieve The Honorable is in the top 100 on Goodreads list, Best YA Fiction With GLBTQQI Themes/Characters. If anyone wants to vote, here's the link https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6... Thank you!
It's such an honor to be on this list, with so many talented authors.
Here's a new one I created that could definitely use more voters....20th Century YA with LGBT Themes
I got up to about 1995 before I hit the 100 vote limit!

Some more lists....Lesbian tween fiction
Small Town LGBT YA Fiction
YA/MG Historical LGBT+ Guys
YA LGBT Books - Not "Coming Out"
Middle Grade/Elementary Books about Trans Kids
LGBTQ Children's Literature (for picture books/MG, don't add YA)
Sorry is there a List for LGBT Ya Fantasy?
Dennis wrote: "Sorry is there a List for LGBT Ya Fantasy?"If you look at the first post about halfway down there's "YA fantasy/sf novels with major LGBTQ Characters"
Here's the link as well - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
Created a new list: Favorite 2010's YA fiction with predominate LGBT+ character(s)Not necessary for the best but rather your favorite YA fiction with at least one predominate LGBTQIAA+ character published since 01/01/2010

Not specifically LGBT related, but one of the main YA lists was recently attacked and deleted by trolls.The new one is here....
YA Novels of 2019
If anyone wants to add books to the list, that would be great. Queer titles welcome, of course! Just make sure they are YA with a first publication date of 2019.
Wow, that's scary that it could have happened to an established list. Does Goodreads know how that happened? Because if one list can have that done to it, they all are vulnerable.
Yes, thankfully the person responsible lost her Librarian powers. Only Librarians can delete books from lists, and she went rogue and got rid of the entire list because she didn't like GR policy. Any list is vulnerable, though. There should be stronger safeguards in place to prevent that from happening. Especially when a list has 1500 voters!
Lists and shelves should have protections from deletion that are robust. I'm glad they knew who it was, but it's sad they didn't have an archived version.
Once it's deleted from GR, it's gone for good, sadly. Google cache was able to retrieve the first page of the list, but that was only the top 100 books. The other 530 were lost and had to be rebuilt from scratch. We're not doing too badly, though. The community really came together and pitched in when they saw what happened, and we got it built up again pretty quickly. Still need a lot more voters, though!
More lists....LGBTQIA+ YA Mystery
F/F YA w/ happy endings
UK YA LGBTQIA+ Titles
Best Australian LGBTQIA YA
YA Fantasy with Major Sapphic Girls
YA Books about Homosexuality and Religion
Children's & teen fiction featuring lesbian mothers
I'm sure there are lists I've missed.
