Top 10: For Annie and Liza

I wrote in my earlier post about how it was hard for me to find books like Annie when I went looking. For the record, I’m not GLBT or Q; for personal reasons in my life I am an *extremely* vocal straight ally. For those who liked Annie on My Mind, here are my personal Top 10 books that would go on a booklist with Annie and Liza, in no particular order.

I think The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily m. danforth would be a good contribution to this list too; it's one of the best books with GLTBQ themes/characters I've read.
I have heard great things about it but haven't read it yet. Also, I am in love with Ask the Passengers by A. S. King – I think everyone should read it
I loved both The Mideducation of Cameron Post and Ask the Passengers… In fact, they're both nominated for The Rainbow Project List this year… Definitely would be perfect additions to a bibliography looking at loves like this!
