Recs if you like Don't Let the Forest In...

Take a turn around the garden in these botanical-themed 'romantasy' stories!

These books have queer representation in them even if sometimes it's not the main focus or the leading couple or It's a head-canon of many readers. I don't include books I don't think I will enjoy / that I have not enjoyed (as a queer)

Books that have covers featuring decapitated heads or cut-off profiles.

I'd appreciate any recs you have! I know there are a lot more covers like this out there😆 (planning to cap the list at 100 books)

Books that feel like Ethel Cain.

Books which include twins, preferably as main characters or as supporting characters which are a big part of the story . All genres including non-fiction.

Please feel free to comment and add to the list!

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

dark academia books with queer and trans MCs

The ultimate list where our love interest goes full protective mode and suddenly says “touch her and die” or “do not lay a hand/finger on her” or some version of either.

All spice levels listed. As this is a microtrope, it may not be a big part of the plot. Recs welcome!

middle grade and young adult

Cottagecore, but make it disgusting & horrifying. I feel like CG Drews would like this list

are they lovers? worse— ⚔️

books with stunning artwork and cover designs that may or may not be the reason we pick them up🫣

Books that have Hanahaki diseases vibes (or as closest you can get to this niche fanfic based trope)

german and english books with main characters on the Ace and Aro Spectrum✨

books i think tim drake // aka red robin from dc comics // would read after guzzling down a nice can of zesti.

Queer books I’ve read or want to read.

...it would be a shame if it was corrupted….

a list of corruption arcs because i have an (probably unhealthy) obsession with them. a work in progress! suggestions welcome
