Recs if you like The Sunshine Court...

Just because you are queer doesn't mean you have your life together

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

M/M hurt/comfort books - ones I’ve read plus ones recommended to me in the r/MM_RomanceBooks subreddit. Most of these have pretty intense hurt because that’s my jam

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

the gang’s all queer!

Books with main characters (or love interests) that are hissy and rude/prickly but deep down it’s because they are sensitive little cupcakes who are afraid of being hurt and just want some love and affection 🥺

Open to suggestions!

Tall, dark and morally ambiguous has its time and place okay? But sometimes we just need the love of a sweet, sweet man who would never harm us 😌

Edited to add: do you KNOW how hard it was to find even five books?? I had to scroll back through my finished reads all the way to 2021! 😂 either I have Tall, dark and morally ambiguous taste, or it’s a rare trope. Either way, now starts my mission to seek them out. This will be a mix of genres, m/f m/m and possibly trigger warnings.

the trifecta of books with a group of teens named after a blackbird: all for the game, six of crows and the raven cycle!!!

…sell them to us instead.

Books that feature characters being sold by their parents as a premise or important character background. Your options include but are not limited to: the yakuza, cults, a literal demon. Your rewards: money, status, getting rid of children you don’t want.

This is NOT a serious list about child trafficking.

Suggestions welcome, as always! I’m playing fast and loose with the definition of selling.

i made one of these for traumatised characters, but i thought i’d make a general one too. just queer people with the families they find. some are traumatised, some are not, some don’t have their stories revolving around that trauma.

the three things that make for the perfect book

only including one book from series

All of the "All for the Game" books by Nora Sakavic

Books that had me going WTF?! The whole time! Some of these are really insightful and deep pieces of literature. Some are AFTG and Twilight.

book series I love that contain found families

Gay sports books by indie authors

Bonus points if the MC is faking their whole personality.

every book i can't stop thinking about (2016-2026)

please i need to read these instead of buying more 😭
