Recs if you like When the Angels Left the Old Country...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

although i am not jewish myself, i believe thoroughly that zionism is not a requirement for judaism and therefore it must be accepted to proudly support jewish voices against the genocide. here are some books by anti-zionist authors to support this jewish american heritage month and beyond!

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! our fifth colour on this flag is red, which represents any and all physical disabilities. examples of physical disabilities include cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease, dwarfism, diabetes, wheelchair users, polio, asthma, muscular dystrophy, cancer, scoliosis, ALS, arthritis and many more. books within this list will be both fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to comment any you recommend!

We're celebrating Trans Day of Visibility by sharing books with queer characters written by trans (transgender and non-binary) authors. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Did you watch Supernatural and have a crush on (both versions of) Ruby? Maybe you had a crush on Crowley? Maybe even a crush on Castiel? Then you are in luck because this list is for you!!! Angels and demons abound in these books, some more biblically accurate than others.

Disclaimer: This list is not related to The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

open to suggestions!!

This week is Jewish Book Week! To celebrate, we compiled a list of our favorite books with queer Jewish characters. Also includes queer books by Jewish authors that don't necessarily include obvious Jewish representation. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day! Here's a pile of books that our rec list contributors love that feature non-binary representation (some explicit, some subtextual/interpreted - so your interpretation may differ, and that's okay!). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

A list of Jewish fantasy books (mostly adult or ya). These books have Jewish characters, themes, or based on Jewish mythology.

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.

Listen my wife is obsessed and that makes me a secondhand expert. Mostly queer!!

Jewish characters written by Jewish authors that engage with Jewish themes, history, and culture. (no Daniel Deronda here!)

fiction with jewish protagonists! got so many suggestions from reddit

It's Labor Day in the US, so we (the folks at Duck Prints Press - the indie publisher I own - who contribute to a lot of the rec lists I post) thought it'd be fun to put together a list of fiction and non-fiction featuring queer folks involved in labor movements!

A list of books for Jewish converts-in-progress 💙 includes titles commonly read in conversion journeys and books I read during my own :]

I love being represented in the books that I read! So here’s a list of Jewish Fantasy books that maybe you can find yourself in too 🥰

Judaica Books I've Read

Per the Mythopoeic Society, Mythopoeic literature is work "that creates a new and transformative mythology, or incorporates and transforms existing mythological material. Transformation is the key — mere static reference to mythological elements, invented or pre-existing, is not enough. The mythological elements must be of sufficient importance in the work to influence the spiritual, moral, and/or creative lives of the characters, and must reflect and support the author's underlying themes. This type of work, at its best, should also inspire the reader to examine the importance of mythology in his or her own spiritual, moral, and creative development." It is creative work that exemplifies "the spirit of the Inklings", a writers circle consisting of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.

It’s like Wednesday!! These books have all the cool things like ghosts and psychics but they aren’t made to scare you :) Instead they intrigue you with supernatural mysteries!— suggestions welcome
