Recs if you like The Bone People...

Books about asexuality, be they non-fiction or novels. Everyone should read at least one asexual book from time to time.

Rep is usually the main character but sometimes side characters. 🏳️‍🌈 ♠️

Yes, demi folks are included on this list!

learning is endless, and far too many people are being oppressed and subjected to violence in this world. just a list of books that shed more light on various marginalized folk from all over the world :) any recs are welcome!

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

Literature featuring indigenous authors from the Americas and Pacific. Fiction from across all genres by First Nations of Canada and the US, Māori, Aboriginal Australian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Papua New Guinean and other Pacific Island indigenous peoples. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you 💜

The only queer & GNC lists/quests I’ve seen have been genre. I love them, but I wanted to also curate a list of literary fiction with LGBTQIA+ characters and themes!

Speculative fiction (fantasy, horror, sci-fi, etc.) about, or prominently featuring, ace characters. This includes demisexual characters and ace-spec characters as well! 🖤🤍💜 corrections & recommendations welcome <3

Note: used to be titled “For My Fellow Garlic Bread Lovers” but I worried it would cause confusion or not enough clarity on what the list was about (still keeping the bread emoji tho)

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!

The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.

Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!

I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!

Suggestions are always welcome!

Ace spectrum representation in fiction! We've got a little of everything - aroace, grayace, demi...my main condition for this list is that the ace character has to explicitly be asexual.

Recommendations welcome!

a list of books with ace rep. i have read some of these but not all, so if any of these don't have ace rep or have harmful rep pls do let me know! 🖤🩶🤍💜

For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books, but before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. Please see the pinned comment for the 2001+ companion list link and the winners for each year!

Either by or about Indigenous American, Hawaiian, Aboriginal people, etc. (with an emphasis on the supernatural and folklore just because that’s my fav) I am not Indigenous so I would love suggestions and comments!

For my fellow asexual community. Go forth and conquer, er, read. 💜🖤🩶🤍 Books featuring canonically asexual main characters and perspectives from demi, gray, sex positive, sex neutral, to sex repulsed. Includes nonfiction recs as well.

Books, fiction and nonfiction, that incorporate and focus on characters and stories about the AroAce spectrum.

These are mostly in order by year

Queer books from around the world.

Let me share with you some of Aotearoa NZ’s most important and influential works.
