Recs if you like A Single Man...

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉

(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

Some classic, popular, and lesser-known books about the lives and relationships of men who love men. Recommendations welcome---I'm specifically in search of more books centering trans men! [Created Sep '25]

Books featuring LGBTQ+ characters and/or themes that are considered to be classics in one way or another

For when reading a classic feels too daunting. Classics under 200 pages!

The queer agenda has taken over your English lesson and the compulsory reading list to make you disgustingly educated and gay af 🏳️‍🌈

Based off having to study older books that have monumental impact 💥 Will keep updating the curriculum, CLASS IS IN SESSION 🔊

A list of books that have LGBTQ+ characters and at around 200 pages or less can in theory be read in a single day - Id love recommendations as well

books about lost chances, 'what ifs', and the lives that might've been. nostalgia and regret are two sides of the same coin: a lingering, a dwelling, on a past you can't return to.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

EVERY GAY VICTORIAN AUTHOR KNEW EACH OTHER. And this list proves it. Making an evil map (a drag path if you will) and nobody can stop meeeeeeee.

This list has all time classics (Dorian Gray, Orlando, etc) and DEEP CUTS (Bertha, Loom of Youth, etc).

enjoyyyyyy <<<<<<3

As seen on Lithub

Emotional, sensual, sexual…precious intimacy in many forms but all deeply rooted in queerness and profoundly intense experiences.

Queer Lit (adult/general audience) titles.

Based for now on titles I have engaged with- thus mlm dominating at the moment

Recs welcome!!

See comments also for more titles (and films!)

I tried to find the latest version (2026).

Queerness + Water

Queer stories that have scenes with water, water as a theme, etc.

The intimacy of nude swimming, water encasing the body, the way a river flows and connects to other bodies of water, the life that lives in its depths, the fact we have not descovered much of the ocean which holds secrets we cannot reach…water is a queer thing, and a theme found continually in queer stories both minutely and wholly encompassing

Adult-audience fiction mostly, some mature YA

Recs welcome!

The best novels featuring LGBTQ+ characters and romances, from classics to modern favorites.

For all the classic lovers that are looking for queer representation or queer authors.

Queer people deserve to see a future, too.
