Recs if you like Luck in the Shadows...

Lately I’ve been craving that old school fantasy, but much more diverse than what you’d generally think of when you think of old school fantasy. So this list will be queer epic/high fantasy full of high stakes adventure and perhaps magic, but specifically that has the VIBES. vibes are essential.

As a note I haven’t read all of these books yet but I am making my way through them, and if any of them are not the match I think they are I’ll remove them (or feel free to comment to let me know!)

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

fiction books with a main character or featured side character that fits the D&D Rogue class (or at least mostly vibes that way)! here for the sneaking, the out-witting, the dastardly plotting. open to any recs and input!

fiction books that with a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D Ranger class (at least pretty closely)! here for the roaming the wilds, the bow and arrowing, the tracking! recs and input welcome!

Title says. Only the first (or not) book of each series are included. Literally any fantasy that is gender nonconforming.

A list for people who don't want to be left waiting for the next book release.

• Includes: First books in completed series, standalones, interconnected standalones*

• Subgenres: Fantasy-first books with a romance subplot - some of these romances are very slow burn or don't appear till later in the series

A collection of older, sometimes lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women and published primarily between the 1980s and early 2000s (with nods to a few older ones). In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)

I love queer romances, here are some of my favorites. I've only done one per series, though I recommend all books attached to the books on this list.

This week, while dwelling on my favorite genre, which does cross into Romantasy territory, I felt we really needed a more refined one for those of us who prefer queer ships, so I came up with this idea in my mind, then made a shelf. Here are 50 of my all-time favorites. These are single or first books only. Lots of series here.

my favorite fantasy genre books featuring lgbtq characters ✨

older fantasy with queer characters! on a bit of a personal male authors timeout so probably all with female authors! i have not read these yet ✨
