Recs if you like Plastic, Prism, Void: Part One...

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

Stories with t4t (trans4trans) dynamics across genders, genres, and age groups, mostly indie. Includes graphic novels and all kinds of trans and non-binary identities. Includes erotica 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

I’ve seen lists, but not one strictly about Ergodic/odd formatting where it’s vital to read the e/physical because of the formatting and/or text —non inclusive of illustrated versions, and just adding non-vital images, etc.

These are the books where if you don’t read the physical (maybe the ebook) you’re MISSING something VITAL to the experience.

I often read audiobooks and don’t know I’m missing out 🫠

PLS recommend W/ explanation & feel free to argue cases!!

Shamelessly yoinked from a certain other reading app that shall not be named... this is a list of recently published (2025-2026) LGBTQ+ fiction across a spectrum of genres and identities!

(Disclaimer: I haven't read most of these, but so many compelling covers made me want to save them all in a list to continue referencing into the future.)

from march 17-31, we support, uplift and celebrate the trans community, many people choose to donate, help or partake in mutual aid, or by simply reading books by trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, two-spirit authors and characters alike. This is a selection that i'll keep updating and will include fiction and non-fiction alike, i hope you join me. Happy reading!! love u

A list of what I'm most looking forward to in the second half of 2026, with a focus on mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. If you have any recs, please share, particularly if they are queer! 💖
