pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

spotlighting some incredible books by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander authors

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.

*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

Women loving women! In literature!

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

your fave iconic lesbian books were written by bi+ authors!!!

mostly to oppose the erasure of essential bisexual participation in lesbian literature and misinformation that bi+ women broadly prefer mlm to wlw. Most of these authors have several sapphic books so make sure to check out the rest! many are also nonbinary, trans and/or on the aro/ace spectrums so please be mindful of their pronouns, labels (or lack thereof) and gender identities. Suggestions welcomed!
