Recs if you like Another Appalachia: Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place...

Country roads, take me home. Appalachia is such an interesting region of the US, and also the setting of many incredible books! Whether it be historical fiction, biographies, folklore, or just every day stories from the Great Smoky Mountains, every recommendation is welcome

from photographs, essays, poems and more: these reads offer the living experiences of lesbians/sapphics of different backgrounds ♡

all lesbians/sapphics are welcome! anything sapphic-centered i find will be added on here! hope you enjoy!

For all of the mythos around it, few people truly understand the Appalachian region or why it is the way it is. This list is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully it's a start.

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

books set in or about appalachia

with the exception of books i think are important to the diaspora or asian americans in general!

all genres!! pls scroll 🥁

Inspired by Autostraddle's Queer Books Across America list

Recommendations from my various college programs, including undergraduate history and anthropology as well as some graduate library sciences courses. All of these books have been recommended by my professors or readings from my professors
