    We asked the bookworms of the Buzzfeed Community to recommend books that every intersectional feminist should read, celebrity books that are actually worth reading, books that made them cry, and their favourite LGBTQ+ books. Here are just some of their amazing recommendations!

    1. Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

    Arrow / Via amazon.co.uk

    "I loved Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid! It's told through an interview with a band (Daisy Jones and The Six) as they look back on their time together in the late '60s and '70s. It's probably not for everyone and I know the hype has been huge, but I loved it so much I've already read it twice. "

    2. Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias In A World Designed For Men by Caroline Criado Perez

    Vintage / Via amazon.co.uk

    "This is an extremely important book to read and, no, it is not just for women. If you care about your mother, sister, wife, girlfriend or daughter, you will pick this up and be rightly outraged."

    Price: £8.19

    3. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

    Walker Books / Via amazon.co.uk

    "I cried throughout the book, especially the final page. Angie Thomas captures the raw emotion felt by the characters which are translated to the reader beautifully."

    Price: £6.55

    4. They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera.

    Simon & Schuster / Via amazon.co.uk

    "They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera – both boys find out they’re going to die on the same day and so it’s a twisted book of love and friendship making you almost forget the title."

    —emzhenson

    Price: £5.59

    5. Bossypants by Tina Fey.

    Sphere / Via amazon.co.uk

    “Bossypants by Tina Fey. It’s a dream to read, you can just dip in and out of it, and it’s hilarious. I left it in the bathroom once and my teenage daughter started to read it. Tina Fey is now one of her heroes."

    —masterbuilder81

    Price: £8.99

    6. Children of Blood and Bone by Toni Adeyemi.

    Macmillan / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Children of Blood and Bone — that’s quite a good one."

    —thisismyusername831

    Price: £5.59

    7. If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

    Usborne Publishing / Via amazon.co.uk

    Amanda Hardy has just started a new school, a school where nobody still thinks of her as Andrew. And she wants to keep it that way. Partially inspired by author Meredith Russo's own experiences, If I Was Your Girl is an absolutely essential read.

    8. A Beginner's Guide to Acting English by Shappi Khorsandi.

    Ebury Press / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Shappi Khorsandi, a British comedian, wrote A Beginners Guide to Acting English about her family moving from Iran to London, as her father was a journalist saying the wrong things just before the Iraq war started. She talks about her memories growing up and learning about British culture to try and fit in, in an interesting and insightful way, that's also hilarious at times and poignant about both children, strangers, and cultural boundaries."

    Price: £7.72

    9. The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily Danforth.

    Penguin / Via amazon.co.uk

    "This book really hit home for me, especially as a young girl battling with her sexuality and her faith. It’s written beautifully and perfectly demonstrates what life can be like in that situation and Cameron’s decision to just no longer be disgusted with herself was a liberating experience for me."

    —thesmolgiant

    "This book stayed with me for such a long time and I find such joy in reading it again and again. It really shows the reality of what homophobia is like and the way religion has such an effect on it."

    Price: £7.99

    10. The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher.

    Black Swan / Via amazon.co.uk

    "It’s very frank and, for anyone who has seen her in interviews, it felt so unapologetically her. It’s interesting, funny, sad, and a little bit rambling at times but I really enjoyed it. I’ve heard people say it’s all about the Harrison Ford affair, but I remember it being so much more than that since it covers the pressure of being a celebrity, her insecurities, the filming of Star Wars, mostly focussing on her emotions rather than just a lot of facts. The audiobook is worth a listen too and she and her daughter narrate it together."

    11. Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton.

    Penguin / Via amazon.co.uk

    "As a millennial of the MSN era, it is hilarious reading another person's take at trying to get your crush's attention by signing in and out. Her approach makes you realise that you're not alone in being a bit lost and that it is perfectly fine to be single. She reminds us of how important all kinds of love are, and that romantic love isn't the be-all and end-all."

    Price: £7.36

    12. Don’t Touch My Hair by Emma Dabiri.

    Penguin / Via amazon.co.uk

    —michealaosullivan

    Price: £7.72

    13. Hold Still by Nina Lacour.

    Random House / Via amazon.co.uk

    "I am a massive bookworm and plenty of novels have moved me to tears but none as much as Hold Still by Nina Lacour about how the main character deals with and attempts to move on after the sudden unexpected suicide of her best friend. It's got to the stage now where if I re-read it I can anticipate the sad parts and start crying early!"

    —mermaidgem

    Price: £10.99

    14. My Thoughts Exactly by Lily Allen.

    Blink / Via amazon.co.uk

    15. The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich.

    Square Fish / Via amazon.co.uk

    —asha787

    Price: £6.99

    16. Our Own Private Universe by Robin Talley.

    HQ Young Adult / Via amazon.co.uk

    "The main character Aki, is very clueless and has no information about lesbian relationships, and gets so nervous and embarrassed going into a drug store and asking for information and protection. Aki is also very resistant to label her sexuality. I’ve never read a book where the main character felt so much like me!"

    —megans499328361

    Price: £7.54

    17. We Are Okay by Nina LaCour is a beautiful, but gut-wrenching novel about how we deal with loss and uncertainty.

    Random House / Via amazon.co.uk

    "We Are Okay by Nina LaCour – probably one of my favourites. It’s a subtle romance, but also deals with harder topics such as depression and coping with death. It’s beautifully written and makes you cry."

    —emzhenson

    Price: £7.99

    18. The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson.

    David Fickling / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Focusing in on the 'T' part of 'LGBTQ+', the story of David Piper's ongoing struggle with revealing his true identity both to his parents and the rest of the world as a whole, coined with the discovery of a twin flame in the most unlikely of people, opened the eyes of fifteen-year-old me to the world of the LGBTQ+ in an accessible, enthralling and believable manner."

    —maevewinters08

    "It’s such a lovely book that reflects on what it’s like to be a trans teen."

    —casisasunflower

    Price: £1.63

    19. The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell.

    Sceptre / Via amazon.co.uk

    "The ending of David Mitchell's The Bone Clocks. He spends chapters and chapters getting you involved in the life of the leading character, and then has her story end in the most bittersweet way. It took me half an hour getting through the final five pages because I was crying so hard. Amazing book."

    20. Coming Out Like a Porn Star by Jiz Lee.

    Three L Media / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Coming Out Like a Porn Star by Jiz Lee is a must-read for any feminist. Sex work is vital to feminism and this book comes from a range of contributors and is edited by a genderqueer porn actor. You really can't be a feminist or ally without understanding the importance of sex work and the humans in it. It completely destroys the stigmas and misconceptions about the industry."

    —greggormcpheeb

    Price: £11.99

    21. Monsters by Sharon Dogar.

    Andersons Press

    "As a Mary Shelley fan, I loved learning about her, her family, and the journeys she went on. I'm also always happy to find a book that explores polyamorous relationships (especially real-life historical ones!) as something that's a big and sometimes complicated part of your life."

    —skipinder

    Price: £6.55

    22. King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

    Orion / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Every book Leigh Bardugo has written has just been the perfect easy-to-read fantasy escape."

    23. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

    Bloomsbury / Via amazon.co.uk

    "The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I have only been sadistic enough to read this book twice. The first time I read it, I cried on and off for about three days. It is one of the most lyrically beautiful and romantic books I have ever read and it completely broke me. I recommend it to everyone to read so they can both share my pain and experience this gorgeously written and heartbreaking book."

    Penguin / Via amazon.co.uk

    "Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman! The ending just came out of nowhere, I honestly didn’t think that it would end like that."

    —jas0808

    "Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. It was romantic and it had tragedy and I could not stop crying at the end. It deals with difficult topics as well."

    —mayaaax

    "Every book in the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman broke my heart."

    —nectarinesister

    26. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

    Definitions / Via amazon.co.uk

    "The Book Thief was amazing and made me cry so hard. I felt punched in the gut and couldn't stop crying. 12 years later and even thinking about it makes me cry."

    —skipnees

    "It has to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It was the first book I ever read more than once. The first time I read it, I was 11 and I stayed up until midnight and just sobbed while holding the book. Even all these years later, I still shed a tear any time I think about the ending!"

    Price: £6.55

    27. The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg.

    Little Brown / Via amazon.co.uk

    29. The Testaments by Margaret Atwood.

    Chatto & Windus / Via amazon.co.uk

    "I feel like I have waited years for this sequel, even before I knew it would exist I was waiting for it to be written. It’s a masterpiece. "

    —lisah42e99b30d

    "Rare occasion where a sequel actually lives up to (if not outdoes) the original. Particularly poignant read in light of everything happening in the States around climate change and abortion laws this year."
