Recs if you like The Stonekeeper ...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

books to get for the middle grade readers in your life that have similar vibes but are NOT Harry Potter (and are in fact better)

You liked Harry Potter but you’re angry at the author for being a huge transphobe and you would like some alternatives because you don’t want to give money to her so she can finance transphobia and you have enough of Harry Potter’s racist stereotypes like Cho Chang and other problematic themes in this saga? You’re in the right place! I haven’t read all, if some are misplaced, let me know! Also, if you want more fantasy recs, I have a queer fantasy list! It is addressed to different ages.

I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

I wanna be the very best like no one ever was

in honor of Pokémon’s 30th birthday, I put together a list of books that feel like pokemon, from just having a lil buddy hanging out to monster battles and more.

as always, taking any and all recommendations!

Books that feel like they could be adapted into a Studio Ghibli movie or have similar vibes to specific Ghibli films

graphic novels, webtoons, mangas are all included only the first volumes of series have been added

A list of comics to jump into if you're starting out and want some recommendations! Comics include Sci-fi, superhero, fantasy, space operas, drama, etc as general mixed bag across genres.

Books that feel like magical girl vibes or that are about magical girls (only includes first in a series)

A few excellent graphic novels for kids! These books are mostly for Ages 6-15, but some vary. Double-check first before recommending them to a kid, you don't want to accidentally give a book that's too hard to read for them. It's already hard enough to encourage their love for reading without making it harder than it has to be! But, these are all still very good for reluctant readers.
