LGBTQ Books for Adults

We here at Big Blue Marble remember the days when there were only a handful of “LGB” books, and we each took personal pride in owning most of them. 2024 is an entirely different universe, with a deluge of diverse books, in all genres and formats, documenting lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer, intersex, trans, nonbinary, and something-beyond-labels-we-have lives. This page is a small selection of the best of the newest of these books. Look for our lists of LGBTQ books for kids, middle grade, and YA!

A rugged outlaw rides into a typical nineteenth-century Western town, swinging his six-guns and stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, an idle young woman gets the notion to outfit herself as a cowboy and makes her getaway. Danish cartoonist Villadsen's off-kilter vision of the Old West features exploding prostitutes, menstruating cowgirls, mysterious gender-bending, and much more. Giddyap!
