Books with Trans representation
I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!
UK Myths & Legends
Books featuring mythology, legends and folklore from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. (For the purpose of this list 'Ireland' encompasses the entirety of Ireland (Northern & Republic) as the historical mythos is largely the same since the split happened in the 1900's.)
Sister Sister
Fiction featuring sisters, because sisters are the best. (Note that not all sister relationships are easy, they are complex and layered and sometimes difficult.)

Around the World in Historical Fiction
I love historical fiction, but it's too easy to get stuck in WWII Europe or the US Civil War. These are just a few of my favorites set in different areas of the globe. I usually use the Historical Novel Society 's definition of a historical novel as my guide (events 50 years old or did not happen in the author's lifetime). I also include ones that cross genres.
mythology and lore reimagined
novels based on mythologies and folklore around the world -- recs welcome!!
Queer in Medieval Britain
The Romans have gone but we are here and we are queer.
This list reserves the right to interpret Medieval and Britain loosely. And also reality, some of these books contain fantasy elements but all are based in real places.
Recommendations welcome.
