Recs if you like Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction...

For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again ❤️

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.

Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.

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!

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

Fiction reads with non-binary characters and/or by non-binary authors

This includes gender fluid, agender, two-spirit, and any other gender identities outside of the binary labels.

See my trans Rights readathon suggestions masterlist for more trans reads! 🏳️‍⚧️

(Under construction 🏗 🚧 many more books to be added! Suggestions welcome!)

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Credits to @Literary.leveret for some of the books on here

Short story, essays, comics, and/or poetry collections focusing on queer and trans folks. Please note: there are some collections listed where not every story is queer, but there is intersectionality, and since that is important, I have included them.

Fiction stories where white women use and abuse people of color and other marginalized people. Thank you @chris for pointing out what a great list this would make!

A list of anthologies focusing on LGBTQ+ representation. :)

Texts that teachers at Texas Tech have been warned not to teach

Books to help us imagine the future we're growing towards

A list of books that have LGBTQ+ characters and at around 200 pages or less can in theory be read in a single day - Id love recommendations as well

A set of (mostly genre) short story anthologies. A way to get a taste of a bunch of authors and styles all at once!

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

A list of books I've read by Indigenous authors (ideally about Indigenous issues or characters) in 2025. Books about Indigenous people/topics written by non-Indigenous authors aren't included here, but anthologies/co-authored books with a mixture of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors are included. For this list, I'm only including authors Indigenous to the Americas, Oceania, and Sápmi, although Indigenous peoples obviously exist in other parts of the world.

Books to widen the possibilities of how we might save ourselves us from the worsening climate crisis by recognizing and learning from the queerness already represented in nature

Stories centering Womxn, Two Spirit folk, and Queerz+ from Turtle Island and beyond. Currently making my way through the list and would love more suggestions! Happy reading my fellow book worms :)

Recommendations from Pagebound Club.

let the girls kiss as queerly as possible --

not all of these are romance and most are from my tbr so they could not be sapphic and just, queer, but most of them should be
