Barnes & Noble has released its Best Books of the Year 2024 lists, which I think we can all agree is a little early in the year for that. Regardless, it’s an interesting look at the biggest and buzziest books of 2024, especially from a bookselling perspective. There isn’t a separate Best LGBTQ Books of 2024 section, but I’ve browsed through all the lists and pulled out the ones I recognized as queer.
Unfortunately, I still don’t have 100% accurate queerdar for books, so let me know in the comments if you spot any I missed. Also, if you think, “Is that book queer? I didn’t know it was queer,” it probably has a bisexual main character. Bisexual invisibility strikes again!
I could have subtitled this list “Horror is Queer,” because that’s the category that has the most queer books in it. Still, there is at least one queer book in the Fiction, Fantasy, Young Adult, Audiobooks, Entertainment Memoirs, and Romance categories. Without further ado, here are the 13 queer books that made Barnes & Noble’s list of the best books of the year.
