Top Ten Tuesday-Books to read if you like Becky Albertalli

Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @https://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/. Our love of lists inspires this weekly meme and brings the book blogging community together. Jana will post a prompt each week, and we readers will post our list based on that topic. We also have the option to do our own thing if we don’t have any ideas for the topic that week. This week’s topic is Books to Read if You like X author. I picked my favorite YA author, Becky Albertalli.
Queer Characters
- Perfect on Paper By Sophie Gonzalez (YA Contemporary)
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (YA Contemporary)
- They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (YA Contemporary)
- The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee (YA Historical Fiction)
- Heartstopper by Alice Oseman (YA Contemporary Graphic Novel)
Books with Characters who do theater/performing arts.
- As If On Cue by Marisa Kanter (YA Contemporary)
- Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills (YA Contemporary)

Becky Albertalli’s books have never really appealed to me as I’m not a big fan of YA contemporary especially when the focus is largely romance. I did enjoy Gentleman’s Guide though, and I enjoyed the Netflix adaptation of Heartstopper.
