Recs if you like Bloodhound (Beka Cooper, #2)...

July 16 is International Drag Day! We've put together a list of our favorite books featuring characters who do drag, non-fiction about people who do drag, and books written by people who do drag. Drag is not just "people who dress in clothes not conventionally associated with their gender"; it is a specific culture, so our list takes that into account, but we had to make some calls on what would and wouldn't count. (Presented by Duck Prints Press. A group of us make these recommendations.)

I've loved these books since a family friend suggested I listen to Wild Magic as a kid. Each set of 2-4 books follows a particular character and their journey through a world populated with familiar faces from other books, but these series don't have to be read in order of publication to be enjoyed. Highly recommend First Test as a fun one to try out!

Tamora Pierce's Tortall series, and associated works. Let's explore all the land has to offer. All books in English, where possible graphic novels are included. Includes: Beka's quartet, Alanna's Lioness quartet, Daine's Immortals quartet, Kel's Protector of the Small quartet, Numair's books (still in progress), Aly's Trickster duology and short stories.

One of the most underrated authors I’ve ever read.

Trilogies. Trilogies! A list full of trilogies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some I've simply come across. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put all books in a trilogy in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Explore the Tortall universe, home of many of Tamora Pierce’s famous heroines. Follow Alanna, Daine, Kel, Ali, and Beka (and now Numair)!
