Recs if you like Forgive-Me-Not...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

Let me know if you have any recommendations to add to this list!

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

whimsical, meadowy, fantastical reads inspired by a @notbillnye comment on/description of Nettle by Bex Hogan

Sapphic books where one or both of the main characters is a knight or a bodyguard.

And Sci-fi. These are mostly sapphic, though. Open to recs

graphic novels (and a lil manga, the occasional picture book…) — fantasy or otherwise — with a fairytale vibe.

Every year we get more and more queer books in more and more diverse genres and I for one would like to roll around in all of them from sheer joy 🙂‍↕️ since I can’t do that here is a list to metaphorically roll around in instead.

Disclaimer: all books had 2026 releases at the time of adding. The publishing industry does change things around though.

Including romantic fantasy and fantasy romance GNs for ease. Please note that this list includes a mix of age demographics and tone/subgenre, so please check content warnings if needed.

Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!

Because I'm obsessed with faeries and there are a lot of books about them this upcoming year.

you'll know it when you see it!! i love "yin yang" covers with characters complement each other on the cover

A list of the YA books published in 2026. Please comment if any are missing.

If it has <100 ratings on Pagebound but you've read and are rabid about it, drop that shit in the comments!!!!

Fall reads- books that take place in fall, give cozy vibes or spooky Halloween vibes. My favorites manage both Halloween and cozy vibes.
