Recs if you like Until the Clock Strikes Midnight...

You liked Harry Potter but you’re angry at the author for being a huge transphobe and you would like some alternatives because you don’t want to give money to her so she can finance transphobia and you have enough of Harry Potter’s racist stereotypes like Cho Chang and other problematic themes in this saga? You’re in the right place! I haven’t read all, if some are misplaced, let me know! Also, if you want more fantasy recs, I have a queer fantasy list! It is addressed to different ages.

Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

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

Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! our second colour on the disability pride flag is blue, which represents psychiatric disabilities and mental illnesses. numerous examples of those include bipolar disorder, depression, general anxiety disorder, PTSD, PMDD, selective mutism, dissociative identity disorder, and many more. books within this list series will be both fiction and non-fiction literature. as always, feel free to recommend any books!

Disabled People don’t exist to Inspire Others.

If you want some book recommendations with disabled folks that just exist (without that inspirational suffering or being portrayed as a hero) - this is your list 🤭💗

books by black authors and/or with black characters

Books about bipolar disorder, mostly nonfiction but would love if someone had some fiction recommendations. PLEASE CHECK TWs I have not read all of these so take it with a grain of salt, I just wanted to compile a list to share the bipolar experience

Featuring a range of subgenres within romance, these stories feature MCs with disabilities. I would love more recommendations to add to the list!
