Recs if you like Legend of the White Snake...

Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)

it's all about the ✨ aesthetic ✨

(some other emojis that didn't make the cut: 🥡🥢🐲🧧🏮)

psa: this only consists of books i've read, or that a trusted friend who's also chinese has read. i don't make it a habit to seek out chinese-inspired fantasy written by white authors these days, but feel free to leave any relevant titles in the comments and i'll check them out!

This is like literary sorbet, books that are simple, sweet, and pretty easy to digest when you want to turn your brain off, decompress after a big, intense book, or break out of a reading slump.

Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) — continuously updated!

And Sci-fi. These are mostly sapphic, though. Open to recs

Loved Kpop Demon Hunters? Try these recs! From fantasy to contemporary, there's something for everyone here!

This is a collection of queer books written by bipoc authors that fall into the genre of fantasy and/or sci-fi (supernatural horror is also included)

(If a book is part of a series I only put the first book because otherwise it gets messy very quickly)

Recommendations are always welcome!!!

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

This is one of a few lists I'm making to help me organize my ideas for HRCYED 3.0. Feel free to take inspiration or comment with more ideas.

I love queer romances, here are some of my favorites. I've only done one per series, though I recommend all books attached to the books on this list.

This week, while dwelling on my favorite genre, which does cross into Romantasy territory, I felt we really needed a more refined one for those of us who prefer queer ships, so I came up with this idea in my mind, then made a shelf. Here are 50 of my all-time favorites. These are single or first books only. Lots of series here.

Queer books I’ve read or want to read.
