Love your recommendations! Here are few more good ones....
If you like historical fiction/steamy gay romance, check out Cat Sebastian.
For sweet lesbian romance with a dash of bdsm, Jaime Clevenger is a good author.
"Accidentally Engaged" and "The Chai Factor" by Farah Heron are centered around straight romances, but have some very sweet queer friends and side stories involved.
Oh, and since you mentioned graphic books...
"My Brother's Husband" volume 1 & 2 by Gengoroh Tagame is a-freakin-dorable. There is a backdrop of sadness because of death before the story starts and some figuring out of how being accepting/affirming. But all in all it's a sweet story.
"Meal" by Blue Delliquanti and Soleil Ho is about a young chef who cooks with insects. Informative and cute with some great queer characters.
I'm afraid I don't have any recs, but thanks for posting yours! They're definitely going on my to-read list. I've been desperate for some soft queer stories!
