Recs if you like Queer as Folklore: The Hidden Queer History of Myths and Monsters...

learning is endless, and far too many people are being oppressed and subjected to violence in this world. just a list of books that shed more light on various marginalized folk from all over the world :) any recs are welcome!

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! the fourth colour on the flag is yellow/gold, which represents the disabilities on the neurodivergent spectrum, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. examples of these are ADHD, autism, tourettes, dyspraxia, dyslexia, OCD, down syndrome, epilepsy and way more. books within this list will be fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to recommend books which you feel should be added to this list.

memoirs, anthologies, graphic novels etc. - anything goes as long as it's nonfiction about the trans & queer experience

history you probably didn't learn in school

My third instalment of queer classics - this time historical events that had gay written all over it!

Books with titles that start with the most uncommon letters to begin words: X, Q, Z & J.

I wanted to join the fun in doing an alphabet challenge and am currently adding X and Z to complete my alphabet of books :) Here’s some recommendations if others want a similar challenge!

books inspired by a range of mythologies (mostly Greek, Egyptian, & Hindu)

Books that focus on “fun fact” histories, people, concepts, crimes, developments and snapshots from human history.

Books on the study of folklore and fairy tales, and the more anthropologic side of the subject - because I'm a nerd, and this is what I do in my spare time. 😛 Recommendations are absolutely welcome!

A list of books from A-Z. I tried to include various genres to appeal to a wide array of readers. I wanted this to be a good reference list for anyone doing an alphabet reading challenge or anyone just looking for a new book to read!

Nonfiction books about queer history, including memoirs, coffee table books, graphic novels, picture books, middle grade and more ! :)

Featuring books from different mythologies, some were invented by the authors and some are inspired by mythologies around the world! Some are fiction some non fiction! I haven’t read all, so if some are misplaced, you can say it! Also, I’m open for recommendations! This list also includes legends!

Niche non-fiction to open your mind to a world in specifics

Nonfiction audiobooks about gender, queerness, disability and everything else.

Read. Learn. Question reality. Pick up quirky habits. Start strange conversations. Become folklore yourself.

We've always been here and we will always be here

Books to feel connected to your queerness (credit to all my fellow boundlings' recs from the PB club!!)

turns out when you wanna write a book, you have to read a lot of books first. wild.

(some of these i've already read, some are on my tbr, some are on my wishlist...)
