Recs if you like The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen...

Historical fiction books with queer characters

Exactly what it says! Done watching Heated Rivalry? Waiting for the rest of the Game Changers books to come in at the library? I've got you covered!

Also a good list if you're dipping your toe into thinking about romance as 'real' reading - these books will give you nuance, social justice, magic systems, empowerment, and all of them will give you supportive queer love and nice warm feels. Not all sports, though there's many of those in here. Welcome to reading romance, friends!

A growing historical romance book list for the weary bookish time traveler. Not limited to the Regency era.

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

queer historical romance with a heavy helping of regency romance especially since it seems to be the most populated 🫖👑🏳️‍🌈

Because we’re queer and we’ve always been here 🥹

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

fiction and nonfiction titled "the secret life/lives of ____"

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

All are very welcome to this list, but I've geared it towards my fellow neurospicy folk with busy Brains who need some high dopamine sparks from their books...and for it to not take forever for us to read a book and we lose our interest/hyperfocus 🤣🥰

Get used to it. A list of queer historical romances. Some are also fantasy.

A silly goofy little list of incredible historical romances for people who want to learn while also giggling and kicking their feet in the air.

A list of books for fans of Our Flag Means Death.

i made one of these for traumatised characters, but i thought i’d make a general one too. just queer people with the families they find. some are traumatised, some are not, some don’t have their stories revolving around that trauma.

A list of faves

Happy Valentine's Day! Have a huge pile of romantic queer novels. (Note that some of these are more "queer books that include a romance" and others are definitely more "this is a romance novel.") (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

Book Attic

queer stories set in a historical period, perhaps with a dash of magic...
