Romantasy for the Queers!
Romantasy and romantic/erotic fantasy reads starring queer characters! (Recs are welcome, but I'd like to encourage uplifting queer authors first and foremost! For series, I'll just put book 1 unless they can be read as standalones!)
They are just trans okay
Books with trans characters that are not just about being trans
Fantasy/Scifi Romances With Transmasc MCs
Because we love to see ourselves in the media we love, here is a list of great fantasy romances with trans male or transmasc leaning nonbinary MCs. Mix of adult and YA, so check labels and content warnings!
top surgery scars on the cover 🏳️⚧️
as the title says, book with covers that portray characters with visible top surgery scars because they make me happy and trans visibility matters. suggestions welcome!
trans & non-binary romance (updating)
adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i haven’t necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! i’ve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)
Indie trans stories
Novels, novellas, and short stories (and the occasional comic) featuring trans characters (including non-binary and all terms under the umbrella), written by indie authors. All genres, but many lean erotic and/or horror 🔞
Recommendations welcome!
✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦
Blood, Guts, Sins, and maybe some fangs ??
Mostly gay books that are dark or bloody or both! (Not finished yet!)
Curvy, Mid & Plus Size Leads in Adult Romance (& Erotica)
Includes all subgenres of romance (contemporary romance, fantasy romance, monster romance, dark romance, etc...). Currently listing only books that I have read.
the gay agenda
the queer romance and fantasy books that are on my tbr (and that i love)
Gay fantasy romance that surprised me
These books surprised me with how much I ended up liking them. I was expecting a typical gay romance novel with a suggestion of a fantasy world, but these delivered. Some contain monster-adjecent love interests, but I wouldn’t classify them as monster romance as the “monsters” are typical in the fantasy world.

A list I have tried to search for and failed to find; Lgbt+ books by australian authors! Very very VERY open to suggestions!! please give suggestions 🙏 (preferably set in australia but the list is so small atm so everything is welcome! and including authors from New Zealand!!)
