Recs if you like The Lord of the Wood...

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!

romance that makes u feel safe and nourished and loved. the best kind of romantic love

queer fiction books with prominent autistic characters!!!! (all cannon, in text, or confirmed by author)

This is a list of books representing every pokemon in HeartGold and SoulSilver (So Johto+Kanto regions). For my sanity, this is one book per evo line. The list with match-ups is in the comments✊🏻💚

Is this too specific?

Stories that involve monsters (literal, psychological, metaphorical) and the woods. 🌲🌲🌲

Romantasy but for the gays. Fantasy in this list includes: magic, fairies/fae, mythical, mystical, supernatural.

I love Botanical Horror, but I also love Queer Stories. Surprisingly, there is a big overlap and if anyone else seeks to find books that fit both Sub-Genres, here is a (starter) list recommendations very welcome

I haven't read all of these myself yet, but the ones I haven't come recommended as cozy horror by Book Riot, and I trust them!

Autism is a spectrum. So we need more Books to show how divers that spectrum is. Without Masking and with a lot of Acceptance. Because it’s the system that needs to be fixed. Not the Person 💗
