Recs if you like The Blighted Stars...

books featuring older women protagonists, age 30 and up, in sci-fi and fantasy. for books containing multiple povs/protagonists, older fmcs should hold equal weight and presence in the story as other mcs. ideally, aiming for more women centred additions, but open to all suggestions and feedback!

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

Any book with an mc over 30, whose character arch involves themes common in coming of age stories like, questioning their upbringing or experiencing some aspect of the world/ relationships/ common experience for the first time or learning who they truly are/ what’s important to them/ being themselves authentically for the first time ect.

This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world

A list of well-rated sci-fi and fantasy books featuring a woman who's 30 or older as the main character. I'm open to recommendations - I'd love this list to be long

Muscly, beefy and strong female main characters. This is beef even the vegans can get behind! Any genre and sexuality welcome! GIVE ME ALL THE BEEF!

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

fiction books that feature fungus, mushrooms, or bacteria in sort sort of way! mainly horror leaning, because who isn’t scared of sentient mold?

gays in space (or I guess sometimes dealing with space shit on earth), with a tending toward optimistic futures. this list will continue to grow and change over time. this list includes trans folks, queercore, and graphic novels.

if a book is part of a series, I'm only listing the first book just so the list doesn't get overrun.

Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

A collection of books that explore time travel in all its forms; from romance and second chances to sci-fi adventures and shifting timelines.

Cozy, Horror, Mystery, Adventure, Romance. As long as the book has shrooms as a major plot point, there is a place for it in this list.

Want to escape to somewhere "out of this world"? This list is for you! Let me know if I'm missing any of your favorites!!

All of it. I'm not sorry. Books set in outer space or involving space travel and featuring queer main characters.

I love mushroom-related horror, and these are all the books I have found that use spores, fungus, or mushrooms as the antithesis of the book's horror.

Sci-fi & queer. And with spaceships, too!

What it says on the tin :) In the past year, I've seen numerous posts, comments, videos about wanting more Sci-Fi books written by women/nb authors. Surprisingly, I did not find a list on pagebound already made for this topic, so I wanted to create one! I'd also love a quest for this too someday :) I also want this list to not only be Sci-Fi written by women/nb authors, but centering authors from marginalized communities.

Science meets magic, aka space fantasy.

These are books with settings that are a mash-up of science fiction and fantasy. People use laser guns and hop from planet to planet on spaceships, but also cast magic spells and pledge allegiance to kings and queens.

Recommendations welcome!

Come for the futuristic, gritty city vibes, stay for the outcasts fighting corrupt systems.

This list includes a range range of cyberpunk and urban fantasy books not always featured in classic lists. Cyberpunk sci-fi often features high tech science-based futures, action and adventure, and outcasts fighting against systems. Urban fantasy has a similar feel, but uses fantasy elements like magic. Come enjoy some near-futuristic worlds bursting with creativity and scrappy characters.
