As a future librarian, I will take note of these suggested reads. Thanks!
Hi, 26 year old anonymous again. Back in high school I read the book "Deliver Us From Evie". It too is a lesbian book and was a decent read from what I remember.
Hey there 26 year old anonymous thanks for the visit. I shall add that to my list. :)
"Dirt, Greed and Sex" is all I currently can think of to add to the list. It's a good background book in Biblical sex ethics; it's not specifically about gay issues, but it does treat them seriously.
I was looking at this book list trying to figure out what books I wanted to read next and I have one to add. I just finished "Truth Dare or Promise" a couple days ago. This book is AWESOME!!! It's more of a lesbian romance. Now romance novels have never done anything for me, but it turns out I must've been reading the wrong kind.

Oh, I hope you have fun on your trip to Europe. My family was in the military so we lived in the Azores (a little group of islands out the the middle of the Atlantic) for two years and we went to Italy once while we were there. It was interesting and I wish I would've enjoyed it more then.
